One thing said to me ... a Dipstick at 'General Cable' I would not like to have had your accident/injury you had ... but would like to have six months off with .. say IRS .. TWIT ! .. I bump into J.Mac quiet regular - caught in a work place crash, bloody nice guy and only live around the corner .. at the shopping malls .. I said, to John tell that twit Steve I'm still on holiday just to piss em off ! :D

Strange to see one central city, as I mention ... sure it must have been a pet .. a one legged one.

A debit card is a very good idea. I have a US one for my US purchases. Despite numerous requests from Westpac for me to raise my credit limit on my NZ Visa card I resist and keep it deliberately low. To what I could live with if it all goes pear shaped.

sounds like utter madness. the world has gone crazy. pretty brief article, wonder if theres any detail were missing? Judges comment about it being "the worst offending of its kind" seems a stretch???

I am forever glad that I retired in 1984 from my trade as an electrical engineer since 1950, well before all the daft European rules and regulations, health and safety rules/stupidity, etc...etc...came into force, and crippled normal sensible working practices carried out by common-sense skilled engineers and tradesmen. The world has now gone mad! I'm just very glad that I'm no longer involved in; "working practices". Paul...in Happy Retirement!.... :bow: ....!

CP .... You crazy guy! love it :wub:

A Plane or Superbird .. one thing I found and been finding is to simply catch a photo , being so fliighty even the crunch of a toastie will send them flying, I now count the seconds before a photo ... still not really good at it , you seem to be doing better than I am ... Marty the bird stalker.

Put it this way Marty ... least ole PINKY was a little aviation inclined ! B-)

Posted a reply to the QUAKE CENTER .. light to medium here , but the ground was really moving and I counted .. 12 to 13 seconds

Then its finished .. seems someone got bored and decided to end the movie super quick :rolleyes: .. Little mate .. twas a Frog in the lake .. the Moon little of that .

I sure it won't be man made cos if it was ... that one persons life experience will have know more meaning ...

:D .. I would like the temps ... guess would be a great life style change

...and I suspect that your really thought that Man had landed on the Moon in 1969, Ian!... :o ...! Well in an actual fact I do believe Neil and Buzz and the others walked on the moon, I also met Buzz in Wanaka, one person who is a specialist in that subject is Nick, he really has researched this , but I have never had any doubt. They did. Simple. In 45 years nobody in the aerospace industry has voiced any doubts. Only incompetent amateurs...

Nothing really ....... so , race off inside , fire up flight radar , and there it was .... the QANTAS Santiago / Sydney flight . As i said nothing really , but confirming my status as a plane spotter :rolleyes: Yeah .. spot him very regular on a blue sky ... I thought it , must be 'ONE HELL OFF VIEW' looking down on New Zealand's South Island like that and very surprised photo's have not been posted

Truthfully Marty I really had to think about the reply ... after reading the post the night before ... I also was bloody furious , up 6.30 this morning I had this link sent to me, the Jag squadron I have seen it before, as you would have, one thing .. they have not sunk that rock yet! Now back to flightsim , our real world were is our Jaguar !

In 1985 there was well over 480 considered wars since 1945 .. that is a real knocker.

Starlings! A very common sight in my back garden...very social birds amongst themselves! It always tickles me the way that they walk, rather than hop! ...waddling along, just like little old men, constantly poking the ground, looking for grubs, etc...!.... :lol: ....! Paul.... :D ...!

Back in the early/mid 1970s, there were two small tremors affecting Port Kembla NSW and the surround I was impressed with the size of the steel mill there ... it was as large as driving thru Ashvegas ... and more , if ever there was spot for a Si-Fi movie that would have to be it , had a good quake in there, the city of Katoomba would smell like blood for years.

And long may she reign :thumbup: Im a Royalist through and through ... and proud of it. Had the pleasure of briefly meeting HRH twice (in service ) something I'll never forget , even if it was for 30 seconds and many years ago. :rockon: Liz ... you good thing.

Wonderful news! I just hope that when I get lost in town, some kind person will pop me into a Taxi to take me back home again. The chance is getting more and more likely as I get older and older... :( ...! "Memory" is a wonderful thing!.... :rolleyes: ....! Paul...where am I?..... :unsure: .... :lol: .....!
