Page 4 of 5 BUT……………
Even we were stumped for a while when the DALEKS arrived. Those Skaro lads are worse than Auckland Yuppies at Wine Festival time when it comes to bad tempered behaviour. When the invasion fleet arrived last year we had our worst problem since the Matiatia development nastiness. It all began when we unearthed this green pulsating thing up at Stoney Batter. No big deal we thought at the time. These sort of ancient artifacts are commonplace here. You dig them up, somebody touches it in a significant place, it starts humming and emitting signals of some sort, the local Iwi claim it as theirs, the Council puts a fence round it, hippies turn up and start drumming circles round it etc, then it just becomes part of the scenery.
But eventually, the bloody spaceship turns up. Not usually a big deal as we’ve pointed out, but this time we had a tricky one on our hands.
DALEKS.
Now your average Dalek is not going to be deflected by such simple pleasures as a bottle of Stonyridge wine or a yoga class at MORRA Hall. Nor do they get distracted by nude sunbathing, Lazy Lounge coffee or Mike Morgan paintings.
Oh dear me no.
