Information On The Oxford Road Event Centre, For the YouTubers
The Oxford Road Event Centre is in the small coastal township of Okato in Taranaki, New Zealand. There are 10 Areas in the Centre; 'Oxford Road Event Centre 1: BMX The Jumps', 'Oxford Road Event Centre 2: Bom Fire Site', 'Oxford Road Event Centre 3: The Lawn',' OREC 4 Garden 1', 'OREC 5 Garden 2 and Shed', 'OREC 6: The Game Lab' 'OREC 7: Motor Centre', 'OREC 8: The Chop' , 'OREC 9: Pond Site' 'OREC 10: Pool'
About Each Of The Sites: BMX The Jumps
Est. in 2006, The Jumps has always been a popular site for the teens of Okato. It's often packed full of great bikers and others watching on and chilling out. There were 2 tracks but there are fears that The Jumps are on their last legs.
Bom Fire Site
The Bom Fire Site was est well before the Bentons and Lynnes arrived there. There is know exact recorded time it first was used, all we know is it's still used today. Everyone loves going down to see stuff burn!
The Lawn
The Lawn is perhaps the most recognised of the sites. It has played host for the Badminton Champs for the past 3 years. Otherwise The Lawn is used for Fireworks Displays, Parties and Soccer/Rugby games. Back in 2005 The Lawn was a popular place for 'Skidding' using your bike.
Garden 1
This site is perhaps one of Dianne Benton's most prized. It is where she grows fruit and vegies. It is also where the famous Glass House is situated.
Garden 2 And Shed
Vegies and Fruit galore! There is even a nearby paddock with sheep and cows. If your not in to them you can feed the chickens!
The Game Lab
Otherwise known as 'The Lounge'. Although of late it has been come to known as 'The Game Lab' as it welcomed the 'X-BOX' in late 2010. Other than that it is a popluar place for the whole family to settle down and watch Coro.
The Motor Centre
Once Gregory Lynne's most prized site. It is where the Motor Bikes are situated and all the tools you need to fix your Bike and more. The Motor Centre also includes a Freezer and some great Artwork.
The Chop
Probably the most saddest of the sites. This is where the Chickens that live their life here come to die, weather it means it is sick, not laying eggs, or we want a good feed. On a brighter side of 'The Chop' it is often where baby Lambs spend their first days (if they have lost their mother), you can even feed them.
Pond Site
The Pond Site is simply classical. It has a wonderful pond with Fish, Frogs, Dragonflies, and Boatmen. There are many trees around the pond and another beautiful Garden. Perhaps the most romantic and peacful of the sites.
The Pool
The Pool is visable from 'The Lawn'. Not far from the Pool is a Tramp. The Pool is only used in Summer, you can relax and swim in The Pool. It's also a popular place for Water Rugby and Volleyball.
The Oxford Road Event Centre is an amazing place. There is always a bed waiting for you!
For more information and updates on 'The Oxford Road Event Centre' stay tuned.

Celebrity Dead Funny
MJ: Jezzz about time someone came.
Sara: No Mr.Jackson.
Sara: You didn't do anything.
MJ: I didn't do anything?! I didn't do anything?! Are nuts or are you just Canadian?
Sara: But Mr.Jackson I thought you were a strong believer in world peace?
Sara: Oh right I've heard quite enough here!
So sorry but Sara had to leave this interview. She then went on to interview Gandhi... that didn't go down well at all. In fact it was identical to the Micheal Jackson interview.

BREAKING NEWS, NEWS BEAT FROM OKATONLINE ONE
South Korea says it has returned fire after North Korea fired around 200 artillery shells at one of its border islands, reportedly killing one marine.
The South's military was placed on its highest non-wartime alert after the shells landed on Yeonpyeong island.
North Korea has not yet commented on the incident, in which three marines and two civilians were also injured.
Correspondents say this is one of the most serious since the Korean War ended without a peace treaty in 1953.
There have been occasional cross-border clashes since, but the latest incident comes at a time of rising regional tension.
North Korea's reclusive leader Kim Jong-il is believed to be ill and trying to engineer the succession of his youngest son. And on Saturday, North Korea showed off what it claimed was a new uranium enrichment facility - potentially giving it a second route to a nuclear weapon.
The move prompted the US special representative for North Korea, Stephen Bosworth, to rule out the resumption of six-party talks on resolving the nuclear issue.
South Korean presidential spokesman Kim Hee-jung also said it was investigating a possible link between the artillery attack and recent maritime exercises near the western sea border earlier on Tuesday.
It also comes just over a month after North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's youngest son, Kim Jong-un, was appointed to senior political and military posts, fuelling speculation that he was being prepared to succeed him.
'Illegal firing'A spokesman for South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korean artillery shells had started falling in the waters off the island of Yeonpyeong at 1434 (0534 GMT). Some landed directly on the island.

Dead Funny Omnibus On Saturday
TV6 Boss: Mr.D? What a fail. We need something fresh...
TV6 Diana: Osama?
Boss: Perfect!
Boss: Since you came up with it, off you go.
Setting: Small town out of Vancouver. Sara and her mic.
Using special Al Qaeda technology worth over $6,000,000 USA, Sara is able to set up a special network for the dead to be interviewed using a Al Qaeda membership netbook. It usually takes 2-6 hours, as the dead are quite often asleep. Meanwhile a India company called ISSTC (India Super Secret Techno Centre) is trying to keep the dead permanently awake (active without moving or being zombies) using the power of the sun and the energy of one cup of coffee made by a TV3 presenter. Also IEMSTC (Indian Even More Secret Techno Centre) is trying to make the dead more calm when in awake mode by playing a variety of John Lennon's greatest hits.
Sara waits in till she has a reading. By 5.09AM she has 1 dead person online:
Sara: What sort of person were you during your lifetime?
Sara looks up at the nearest hill to see a dark house with a little bit of light just lighting the farms below.
Dead Man Jack: That darkness you can see is my mum. She hasn't moved there since I died.
Sara: Whats it like being dead?
Dead Man Jack: It's OK I guess. No more heart attacks constantly. A hey hey hey.
Sara: How long till you go?
DMJ: You living people cant see it.
Sara: How do you communicate at night?
Sara: Thanks so much Jack.
