NZFF

Ahhhh Fozzer ...... :lol: Yet another breath of fresh air :) Ta, Marty!..... :bow: ...! I'm not much good at posting Screen Shots, etc, (been doing it for far too many years now), but I do enjoy reading and posting interesting and comical stuff on this and various other Forums. I do like a bit of a larf every day!.... :lol: ....! It makes the World go round, clears the Lungs, and lubricates the Bowels*... :thumbup: ...! Cheers, all... Paul.... :wink2: ....! * ....talking of which.... Hot Chicken Madras with rice for Supper tonight. That should do the trick!... :rockon: ...!

Hey, Marty, it's only taxpayers' money - but NZCH makes more sense :P

That's a very good point about our eyesight -- the 4K resolution is great if I'm sitting at my desk close up to the screen, but normal TV viewing, from my couch, I would never notice the difference from 1080... I notice a slight softening with 720p, and the old 'standard res' broadcast channels look like rubbish. Still, there's not much on those which I want to watch, even the Maori channels are 1080 these days. Happy Waitangi Day!

Glad your home dude :thumbup: Rest up, and check in when you can.

So it wasn't one of your landings then ? :D Not on this particular occasion :D

Oh gawd ... don't include me in this Fozz .... you crazy guy :) But there is an alternative use for these Gastronomic Delicacies, Marty... :wink2: ....! How about keeping them as Pets!....>>>> I must admit, spending most/all of my time on my own, every day, I do get exceedingly excited when a really-long-legged house spider come out from the darkness to greet me!.... :groupwave: ....! Fantastic little Chaps, and I am sure that they are observing and reacting to all my movements! It's just a shame that we don't speak the same language. I'm sure we could have a long-old chat...

Was just reading a book about Air America and they had the same issue in Vietnam where all of the mil traffic was on UHF. It did lead to some accidents so it's nothing new :blink:

My condolences to you Paul I know what you are going through as I am in the middle of sorting out my daughters estate after she also took her own life last month at the age of 53. Maybe if they could see the devastation caused to those family members and friend they leave behind they might think more about what they are doing.

Probably 80% of what I watch is via Netflix. What's missing from that, though, is anything NZ. My 'hobby' is NZ, and I do aim for as much local content as I can get. Lightbox (which I get for free with my broadband) was meant to have the best local stuff, but that doesn't really pan out in reality. So a daily dose of kiwi accents and local culture suits me fine. Plus they play a lot of Hollie Smith as ambient music....

Just a quick follow-up here, my son and his wife were planning to return to Bogata next week, but they've decided to shift to NZ! My son will stay on to find work, and his wife will return home to close up the business etc. A real surprise to me, but I'm thrilled. They hope to settle in Wellington, they are there at the moment staying with my daughter.

Your right in the spark being a selfie drone. I suggest it to people who have not got the money to spend on a Mavic or phantom 4. You can do a fair bit with a spark, but the camera is not as good compared to the Mavic or Phantom 4. The selfie is pretty big these days.

Yes I read that Eleanor blew a train off the tracks in Switzerland! But Fozz... they stopped calling them only by Girl names long ago: So far there have been Aileen, Brian, Caroline and Dylan!

We've had a few Queens in our time.... Boudica....>>> ....and >>>> A grand lot, and a grand History! Paul..... :D ...! I gather the Australian Parliament have got a few; "Queen" MP's now.... ....but they are a sad lot!

A lot of my Youtube Motorcycle Chums live in New England and the upper USA East Atlantic Seaboard coast, so they will be having a hard time now! What a contrast to the devastating Wildfires now occurring on the Southern California Pacific Coast! Paul.... :D ....!

I had my usual fantastic Xmas.... :rockon: ...! ...on my own...as usual...surrounded by mountains of food and booze...and all my toys! Some of my Children, Grandchildren, and Great-Grandchildren, (I've got zillions of them!) popped in with loads of presents for me! I love being on my own....peace and tranquility prevail!.... :D ....! Xmas is over now...but the shopping, preparation, cooking, and eating never ends!..... :drool: ....! ...as they say in Downtown Los Angeles...."no wot I'm sayin' Bro'"....(I'm watching; "Bait Car" on my TV!).... :lol: ... :lol: ... :lol: ...!...

Good job, Paul. I was tempted to try a roast myself, but really it's the wrong season for that here -- so seafood and salad for me. Christmas day was weird, my kids were at their mother's this year, although I was invited I don't do Christmas with the ex. We get on great, and it has been 20 years since we separated, but I still don't fancy the idea of Christmas together.... So I settled down for some Christmas movies, first up The Sound of Music, this was the first time I've seen this in HD, so it was still an amazing experience even though I've seen it dozens of times. Then there were a...

Splitpin and Scaber, Thanks for your kind words. Regards, Aharon
