Giver me your money or your life!!!
They were highwaymen!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1866, Richard Burgess, Thomas Kelly, Philip Levy and Joseph Sullivan were known as highwaymen and murderers. They were known as the Burgess gang, because of the notoriety of Richard Burgess' reputation and experience in crime. These four men terrorised the Nelson district in 1866. They had robbed their way into the area from the goldfields of Otago and Westland.

Poetry:
...And I had done a hellish thing,
And it would work 'em woe:
For all averred, I had killed the bird
That made the breeze to blow.
Ah wretch! said they, the bird to slay,
That made the breeze to blow!...
Name the poem and its author?

Hepatitis? B or C?
It was around that time [1987] they started innoculating the
children. My two boys had horrific reactions ..... vomiting, diarrhoea, fever and these symptoms lasted for what seemed weeks. They both lost a lot of weight and the whole cycle started again after the next instalment of the vaccine. I didn't bother getting the third one done.
