In less than 3 weeks I will be a pensioner. So, what shall I do with myself? I saw an ad on Neighbourly by an outfit called English Language Partners a few weeks ago. Asking for volunteers.

I saw an ad on Neighbourly by an outfit called English Language Partners a few weeks ago. Asking for volunteers. Teaching English to new immigrants I expect. Now, I have a post-grad diploma in education (that's a bit more than an M.A. where I come from), I spent years teaching German as a Second Language to Vietnamese Boat People, I have specialist phonetics training. I am familiar with the Berlitz method.
I've taken people with no knowledge of the language through to university entrance level ....
I thought: I'll give these guys a ring. I might be able to help, I don't need extra pay ...
... well, I have barely started to introduce myself when the woman goes "Do you have a certificate in teaching English as a Second Language?"
No, I don't. (but I probably have better experience and teaching skills than many of the people working for you -- I didn't say that, though).
She just fobbed me off: "Well in that case I cannot employ you." Click.
I wasn't actually looking for EMPLOYMENT. I was offering to volunteer. This was a real Simpsons moment for me .... doh! Ah well. Sadly, I know I'd be no good at picking up trash by the roadside, my knees would not allow me. Ho hum. At times the ignorant arrogance of some Kiwis is just mind-boggling to me.
This spectacular free range butterflied chicken from Tegel will be the star of the table. Seasoned with tasty Peri Peri marinade it's perfectly matched with Tzatziki yoghurt dip and fragrant couscous.

Try cooking it on the BBQ; it takes less time than a standard chicken plus it'll pick up all those fabulous barbecue flavours.
Combine good company with good food and your summer will be sizzling

A great way to round off the holidays! This Sunday 27th January, 10am to 3pm, is the day for all members of the family to dig out their glorious garb and head off for a bit of “Medieval Madness” at Kiwi North in Whangarei. Or if your garb is in the wash just head along anyway.

Real jousting, archery, combat displays, ‘fight a knight’ with the Whangarei Medieval Club, celtic band Clan Celtica, the only Kiwi House in Northland, Whangarei Museum, pony, train and tractor rides, costume parade with prizes, food and fun.

Preferably one that is not too old. This is needed by a small rural school in the Far North. We have a field just a little smaller than a footy field and small areas around the school buildings.
Thanks
