47
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: they had they had an open day and we were

48
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: all standing around for one of the activities they had,

49
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: which was an army helicopter landing. So, as an adult,

50
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: I didn't take into him cat because I've never done

51
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: it or been around it. Before the actual force of

52
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: the wind that the blades give out is amazing, and

53
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: it was hard enough to stand staunch as an adult

54
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: without sort of getting like taking a stand back. You

55
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: had to dig your heels in. So my son would

56
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: have been about five at the time, ten years ago, and.

57
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,120

00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: Age is oh gone, Yes, luckily.

59
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: I hope into the old blender of the blades.

60
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: No, no, I was going opposite way, Thank goodness. I

61
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: wasn't getting getting blown If we can.

62
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: Go around antikock, different story.

63
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: But no, it was just yeah, sort of like concentrating

64
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: yourself as an adult, stand staunch, and we weren't stand

65
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: just stand your ground, not getting blown away, and we

66
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: sort of looked over his shoulder and this poor little

67
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: five year old and his wellies or like it was

68
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: just like taking steps back, like not shock on his face.

69
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: And then he eventually got to a point where he

70
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: just tumbled. It was just yeah, like you know, he's okay.

Speaker 2: Yeah?

87
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: So I worked at the Colt Express service station in

88
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: Port Piarray, South Australia, and my team member and I

89
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: were out the front changing one of those big posters

90
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: two for six dollars posters and their call float and

91
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: she was holding it and she lost a lot of weight,

92
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: and a big wind just came through what we call

93
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 4: the wind tunnel for forecourt and lifted her off the ground,

94
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: not far, but it lifted her off the ground and

95
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: she stumbled back down and basically had to stumble backwards

96
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: to the end to get her seat. So I laughed,

97
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: and I laughed and I laughed, and she said, can

98
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:30,800

00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: it's funny.

101
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,800

119
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 5: small woman. I don't know if you know that Wellington

120
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,799

Speaker 6: train station she works in the heart of the city,

123
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 6: and as she came out of the train station, a

124
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 6: gust of wind came lifted her off her feet and outstretched,

125
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 6: grabbing hold of a lamp post, and people.

00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 6: She'd make a very good Mary Poppins banana blit her heart.

130
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: She needed to be more stormed. Lack of stornishness in

131
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: this story.

132
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 5: But no, that was such a funny story with her

Speaker 1: Is okay?

142
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 7: It's another Wellington story. Yep. Back in nineteen ninety seven,

143
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 7: my sister and I our first plane trip. We flew

144
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 7: into Wellington, which is pretty nerve wrecking anyway, and it

145
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 7: was about it. I reckon a thirty seater play so

146
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 7: not big. They they had to tie a rope between

147
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 7: the aeroplane and the terminal, so the passengers hold on it.

148
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: Come on, you're not going up K two and everest.

149
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: No, for real.

150
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 7: You had to hold on to the rope so you

151
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 7: didn't blow over and end up on the tarmac in

152
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 7: front of another plane.

153
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: This is still I don't know if they still do it.

154
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: It's a few years.

155
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Think maybe not. I reckon.

156
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: I just think for the Women's World Cup we'll be

157
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: sharing it with New Zealand teams again.

158
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: Off the play with crampons.

159
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:43,239
Speaker 3: And incredible stuff.
