Job opportunities for Kiwis

On our home page there is this advert. ED of course erred greatly by not limiting aplications to fine upstanding South Africans. Heck we may be taken over by Kiwis!!!!

Hey rooitwit your spelling is okay maybe you should give it a shot. Content of course is another matter- maybe not.

Muncher doesnt understand the game and Mike too long winded etc etc. Snapster swears to much and ditto CC etc etc. Moz would fit the bill but heis golf might suffer. Of course yours truly would be ideal but then again I am too busy. 

Any volunteers? No Hawka you have to write stuff so pictures dont count.
