Along with comedy Greats, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby, I found a guy called Jeff Foxworthy. Better known for coming up with reasons that you might be a redneck.

This led me to think that there is surely some of these that could apply to our whanau out there and being the proud Texan (Te Teko) that I am I got together with some people to bring you, “You Know You’re A Texan When”………

When another Maori or kiwi in Oz asks you where you're from in NZ and your reply is Te Teko and they stare at you and reply !WOE!! !TEXAS!!..

When instead of cutting up your watermelon for your school lunch, you would jus crack it on the ground n scoop it out with your hands

You’re first driving lessons were going around in circles round the ministry

You get your learners license when you're 20

Your first job was picking corn, asparagus, kamo kamo, onions or watermelon for $5/hour, your second job was packing them

The main trade in your town is horticulture

You've stopped in the middle of the road holding up traffic just to have a conversation with someone else who's holding up traffic on their side of the road.

You remember when the four square was Johnny's 4 Square

You have bombed off the bridge and wet the cars going past

You have spent 6 hours loosening a snag just for a 5 minute float down the river and then you have to walk all the way home, but it was worth it!

You take soap and shampoo with you to the river

Uncle Charlie has paid you $2 to go and get all the flags and post covers in

Your parents take you up the Soda Springs to get rid of your scabs

The local economy peaks at about April May of each year for a limited time

You still call Galatea Road, Brights Road and Tahuna Road, Dump Road

You deny you’re from Mapou

You remember Mereana as the grumpy gate lady who even charged her own kids!!!

You have a minimum of 5 Marae

Played bullrush on one of those Marae

You don't get squeamish anymore at the smell of kanga pirau at the Marae (Texas Gold)

Your cousin on one side is a niece on the other;

You don't say HELLO you just lift your eyebrows in acknowledgement;

You have an uncle that always happens to turn up just when dinner is being served...

Your family has a funny nickname that describes how they are

You’ve played wars down the river with the mud

Your mates visit you and the shop keeper tells them where you live...

You don’t think it’s strange that your dads’ wallet is a plastic bag or sock...

You got a kick up the bum from Uncle Dino.

You got a smack or a hiding from aunty Moana.

You remember when Uncle Cappy and Aunty Judy used to take Athletics

If you have anything similar to this that you think applies to where you grew up email them to carlos@sunfm.co.nz and we'll share them with everyone else.

The Healthy Eaters Breakfast Challenge took place at the start of February with staff representing classes at Ohope Beach School , Te Teko Primary School, Edgecumbe Primary School and Putauaki School. Fortunately for the Awatea Class at Ohope Beach School they had LOON representing them and we won the challenge

	With beautiful conditions set to stick around for a little while longer, I am urging you to get out there and enjoy the sunshine with a warning. <<<<====== is a picture of me after being out fishing when the temperature hit 28 degrees over the weekend. As you can see my face is as red as a beetroot, and the rest of my body isnt any better. So when you are out in the sun remember sunscreen needs to be re-applied every couple of hours. If you are just too tough for sun screen then here are some things you may want to know for after you get burnt SUNBURN REMEDIES
1 - Have a COLD Bath	Add some baking soda to the bath tub then soak for about 15 to 20 minutes as you take your cold, gentle and soothing bath. After the bath wipe your body rather than just let the water dry by evaporation.
2 - Aloe Vera Juice	This one is a favourite of mine from way back. My nan told me that the Juice from her Aloe Vera plants would help so I tried and she was right. The way it helps is the juice causes blood vessels around the burnt area to contract.
3 - A Wet Cloth	Soak a clean soft piece of cloth in COLD water then place it over the sunburn and wait for a few minutes before wetting the cloth again and repeating the procedure until it feels better.
4 - Drink Lots Of Water	When your are burnt by the sun the burns will dehydrate the skin. To restore the freshness and wetness of the skin it is advisable to drink a lot of water which will also help in a quick healing of the wounds.
5 - Use Moisturizer	Guys there is nothing wrong with you using mousturizer nowadays. Use it on the areas around the sunburn to prevent dryness.
6 - Potatoes	Yes Potatoes can help you, this is not a joke. Cut them up and put them in your blender until they become liquid like or wet and mushy. Place the potatoes on the sun burnt area and wait for it to dry.

No it's not that terrible old skool horror, this is the Inflatable Blob and the Waimarino Adventure Park just outside of Tauranga.

If you are stumped on something wicked to do to finish of the School Holidays for the kids then check this out. Last weekend I went over to Tauranga and checked it out.

Plenty of activities for the entire whanau. Look it up on the web www.waimarino.com

I'm the one jumping off the platform
