Nah, his name's Hughie :)

It will be good to give Bob a hard time about a few things. I wonder if he still seeks out hailstones to put in his whiskey? (there you go Bob, theres a topic to start you off!) :lol:

Yeah, he should be on the nightly weather! If he wants to. :)

I saw on a metservice thing about what happened a particular month etc and read one about a guy in Nelson who owns a restaurant or something. This is 3 or so years back I'm guessing. But anyway, a hail storm went through dropping hail nearly the size of golfballs, that day he served them up in drinks to the customers I believe.
