Sooty's Television debut

It was on Money Magazines special on Green Buildings aired by TVB on 25th sept 2007 at 800pm that I made my debut on HK TV.
On air as part of my mission to save the planet, improve HK's air quality and ensure Tasmania does not become a tropical island.
The pictures on here are courtesy of sunny who used a hand digital camera to capture the action.

What about the food in Tassie, just sensational!

First course was free soup at the food not bombs stall, actually quite a tasty veggie soup. Probably made more tasty by the lack of washing up implements, oh well friends of the earth and all that.

Second course, was a sausage at the award winning bratwurst tent, far superior than the sausage had in Berlin a few months before!

Third course was a palate cleansing apple super fresh.

Fourth course was fish and salad from fish frenzy, lightly battered flathead fillets and greek salad. Absolutely sensational.

Tassie is definately a world class foodies heaven!

Return to Tasmania for Kevin's retirement

First Boss Retirement Celebration in Tasmania - sept 07

Keeping in touch with mates is important and when I heard from my old boss that he was about to retire after 40 years in business, I couldn't resist coming back to join the celebration with two other mates. We had all worked for the same boss in our early post university careers. Kevin Burrows was and is a legend in Tasmania and in Honeywell worldwide. He started in a two man operation in Hobart and was soon on his own after the guy who hired him left. Kevin did not falter in steadily building a substantial business in Tasmania. At his farewell we heard that he had the highest per capita sales in any Honeywell location worldwide, totalling 16.5m aud in Tasmania last year. That was over 35 dollars per person. In Honeywells headquarter location in Georgia they can only muster 6 dollars per person.

Kevin believes that people buy from mates and it was always important to have business friends. He does not like the word customer and prefers to call them friends. He said he also always delivered on his promises and was a man of his word. He was a great boss and gave us all great work ethics and values for us to take into our own careers.
