1981-82
It was whilst shooting possums on their friend's
farm that five Wellington teenagers, Bowsey, Blair,
Badboy, Geoffo, and Phelchy had an encounter that
was to change their lives forever.
Another marathon drinking session
had just come to an end and the five hardened
drinkers began a hunting mission, wandering the
farm in search of the possums.
The story goes that they heard
a strange sound coming from down in a secluded
gully and they've never been the same since....
20 YEARS LATER .........their
secret is revealed.
Phelchy
Phelchy left the safety of Karori to Redhill in
Sydney in order to get away from the inner turmoil
that he was going through after the "gully
incident".
He always had trouble admitting to himself and
to others his burning desire to be with a ewe,
but eventually Phelcy "came out", and
after a string of failed romances, is now dating
former Randwick "Sheep of The Year",
Edweena.
Blair
Blair was the first of the Karori boys to have
a first serious relationship with a ewe - a Romney
from Makara called Flossy. Her and Blair lived
together for years, enabling him to pass on his
knowledge to the others as to the ups and downs
of living with a ewe. "Toilet training is
probably the worst thing about living with a ewe.
I was forever picking dags up off the floor but
hey, when you're in love these things don't matter".
Blair and Flossy were inseparable
until one day she was struck on the head with
a golf ball whilst wondering the nine holer in
her native Makara. As a result, Flossy fell in
love with the Green Keeper and never left. Blair
is now living in Auckland and has settled down
with Flossy's great granddaughter, a hybrid called
Poppy.
Geoffo
Tragically Geoffo's first true love affair ended
in tragedy. It was whilst he was still living
a double life as both womaniser and sheep shagger
that he came home to find his true love Mabeleine
had been brutally murdered by his father. Not
only that, she'd been served up on a plate with
roast potatoes, peas, gravy and mint sauce.
As a result, Geoffo fled to Melbourne
where he met a welsh mountain ewe named Amberly
in a paddock in St Kilda after a large night on
the Fosters. When he later found out that her
name meant precious one, golden meadow, like
amber, he knew that it was a sign from the
lager gods and married her the following week.
Bowsey
After that night, the five men all realised that
they were Agnusexuals, men with a preference
for wooly farm animals and this is what they're
up to today.
Bowsey currently lives in Auckland and is currently
single. He recently fell in love with a Merino
called Heidi, her superfine wool causing him to
leave his previous lover, Nancy a feisty long
haired Romney from Christchurch. Unfortunately
Heidi ran off some weeks later after meeting a
ram named Bruce, and they now have a flock of
their own down in Gore.
Badboy
Badboy (seen here with Angie and Danni from Vermont)
never had a serious relationship with any of his
ewes, choosing instead to love em' and leave em'
to avoid being caught by angry farmers.
Badboy currently splits his time between working
at the Sky Casino in Auckland and the paddocks
of Orakei Road in Remuera.
