Introducing myself, Chris Burn aka Burnzee!
The Burnzee name comes from the 80's when there were a lot of announcers using the "Y" on the end of their surnames as their on-air name. So instead of a y I used ee's.
I spent my childhood growing up in the Naki, down to Palmy in '84, spending a lot of time at the arena watching the Turbo's and Manawatu Jets Basketball team play.
Some of my favourite places in the Manawatu are... any golf course and any of the fabulous cafes and restaurants in the region.
I enjoy going out to Feildings Farmer's market on a Friday and I'm a bit of a fan of supermarket shopping. I think I'm the only person who hates window shopping, unless it in a supermarket!!
I have been known to spend a fair bit of time on my PC at home on my Flight Simulator!!
When the kids were small, we used to love taking them to Horseshoe bend, a local swimming hole, on a beaut summer's day to cool off.
I've been known to go surfcasting on some of the beaches here in the region, usually without much luck!
