When the NZ Govt calls
2 04 pm today my landline phone rang. Picked it up. Hello. The Voice said "Is that Mr Michael Romanos" Yes. The Voice said " New Zealand Government here".................. Oh I replied, is that you John, Bill and Steve (Key, English and Joyce) how are you all. The Voice ignored this and went on, " I am calling you on behalf of Inland Revenue, Customs and the Police. You're being accused but we need to sought this out quietly with you. Give me your IRD number, passport number, driver's licence number and all your bank account numbers. Take your time but I do need to also ask you why have you joined Neighbourly? Don't you know it is a front for ISIS, the Sinoloa Cartel and the NZ Green Party? Have you heard any more from Tracey Ultra?."
What most likely happened was that when The Voice (with an Asian accent) said Mr Michael Romanos, NZ Government here" I hung up at 2.04pm.

This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.
Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.
Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.
The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.
Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
