L and P My speech on L&P.

G’day, wanna refreshing drink called L&P , that was created in 1904 , after its creator mixed some spring water with lemon near the town of Paeroa and created the start of L&P ,well to bad. Ya not getting any.L&P was originally called Lemon & Paeroa, because one of the most important ingrediants was lemon and it was made near the town of Paeroa.Pretty obvious really.L & P was and still is one of our nations most popular kiwi icons,right next to BBQ's and the toy buzzy bees and to prove it next time you go to Paeroa you can find a giant statue of an L&P bottle with its old original label. Here are some of my favourite slogans off the L&P labels ,there are "Old as the two cents down grandads la-z-boy chair" and "Older than your hippie auntts purple tie-died t-shirt". Did you know that in 2005 they tryed to change the line to "L&P dry" or "sweet as L&P",and I think that they are both pretty lame so maybe if they did put those lines on the labels the market sales might of gone down way down. Did you know that L&P is pretty much only sold in New Zealand except for some shops in aussie because so many kiwis go over there for selling and trading that the aussie blokes soon might get invaded,and also this drink is made on the same production line as coca-cola. L&P has a wide range of advertisement from the two videos of the stubies and the school pool add to the funny radio adds,such as "This week in NZ history loads of fish'n'chip shops and dairys started to get street fighter 2 spacie machines outside them, and all the bigger kids would say "spot us a tweenty bro" and "give us secounds bro" to the not so bigger kids . For more yanes have gorked old as at L&P.co.nz over a L&P.World famous in NZ since 100 years ago.They also hold a triditional L&P B.Y.C. tourament which stands for Back Yard Cricket.The tourament is a real great way to spend the day and is usually full of guzzaling down L&P and accidentally breaking 3 windows tops.The team that wins gets a trophy and a giant check.The check is usually cardboard but still real. You can have a look at the last cricket tourament and watch a couple of adds and listen to some crack up radio adds at the L&P website: [|www.LandP.co.nz] The L&P phrase "World famous in New Zealand" catches the eye of most kiwi citizens also the latest catch phrase "World famous in NZ since ages ago". So next time you go to the dairy on a hot summers day to cure your thurst get an L&P World famous in New Zealand since ages ago!

Rhys Darby New Zealand has many famous people like Peter Jackson and Flight of the Concords and then we have some pretty out there kind of New Zealand celebrities such as Dave off the Wendy’s adds, the mad butcher and of course one of the greatest new zealand actor stand up comedians, Rhys Darby.

Rhys Darby was a former soldier but moved on to university In 1994 because he wasn’t cut out for the work, he had just liked dressing up in the uniform and pretending to fight, thats when he realized he wanted to become an actor. In 1996 he started his comedy career by forming a comedy duo called “Rhysently Granted” with a friend called Grant Lobban.

After winning an open microphone contest at the “Southern Blues Bar” in Christchurch, they began performing at local venues. “Rhysently Granted” performed at two international comedy festivals which gave Rhys Darby an opportunity by moving up the North Island to find more solo stand-up performances in Auckland. After performing his first solo show at the 2002 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Rhys Darby moved to the UK to continue his stand up comedy career.

Rhys Darby has been nominated for the Billy T Award and his new “imagine that!” dvd has gone platinum in New Zealand, he is very well known for his roll in the TV series hit “flight of the Concords” as the band manager Murray Hewitt, he has starred in “ Yes Man” with Jim Carry as Norman, Jim Carry’s characters boss, and he has also played Angus in the British film “the Boat that Rocked”.
