Hey, you guys at the bottom of the world!

Problem no. 1: Because I'm in New Zealand, when I post you guys are all tucked up in bed. Therefore I don't get replies for a long time,
Problem no. 2: The sun rises in New Zealand before anywhere else, yet you guys have the cheek to call yourselves the 'Northern Hemisphere'. Okay, I know you carved an "N" onto the compass but, in the Universe, there is no logical up and down.
The only logical thing is to assume that the sun rises at the top... it is up in the sky after all.
Moderators please take note of this, I will now refer to all 'North' Americans as Southerners and European people as living in the"Southern Hemisphere".
Sorry guys, but some of your song lyrics will need adjusting:
"Goin' up North to Tulsa" (come to think of it, I'm not sure where Tulsa is)
"South to Alaska"
and Tuxedo Junction will have to start...
"Way up North in..."

Did you hear what John Cleese said about Palmy?
You'll know too that this north/south thing has been around since the 1970's. (Wizard... Christchurch)
'Hold the line!' (To quote Russel Crowe in Gladiator)

Can you feel the spirit of NHOP?

Tranquillity in the woods & Quiet solitude.
The first is a Swedish folk song, the second Danish.
Neils played them... very beautiful.
Listen out for them down there in the south.
