slightly related I guess, but seems to be applicable across the board. fill in the missing bit.... "....when I sat there one day and I thought; 'what I'm listening to is a whole bunch of chick scientists' - and if you really looked at the view that they were pitching - [it] was everybody in New Zealand should not shave their armpits, they should wear dreadlocks, and when they go ________ing they should do it in jandals only. And after they catch one patty for tea they should sit down hold hands and sing kumbaya. That was the feeling I got."

I dont name and shame, and I'm not starting now, but if anybody else reading this lives in this neck of the woods -Everson Contracting aren't stupid about it. I texted Simon, he responded with uncertainty about the exact date, but also indicated "about a week wait, maybe". There is quite a few holes in that onion bag but at least his reply is positive. I can and probably will offer to wait longer because there are plenty out there worse off than me, but I'm stoked to have a positive reply. Not taking bookings because you're 'busy as' is just dumb and does nothing to help, so I know where

Helensville, Fish. Hard to create a relationship when they will not book because it forces u into thinking about throwing the panic mode switch. I have somewhere around 15000 L which ain't bad compared to some people ive been told of, but i know it gets less every day and naturally - eventually will be zero. Hence my focus on understanding my usage. If i focus hard on stretching what I have got, I'll be sweet but it is a concern for obvious reasons. Yesterday we used 150L between 3 adults, 1 toddler and dogs n cats - so thats pretty good.

Or just drink rum

Thanks all. So i shouldnt double the 'drop'. 480 L per day isn't as frightening but now all i gotta do is convince the fairer sex members of the house that we do need to save... I can't even make an arrangement for a load. Seems like most water truck operators believe that the best way to manage extreme demand is to stop taking bookings - as if ignoring it makes the need magicly go away. I get they are busy, i get they can only do so many loads a day and all the rest, but, the closing of bookings I can't fathom. I'd be over the moon if my forward bookings were under pressure-its called c

Thanks. So do u see any error with my end result - esp the usage calc?

I'm sure I 'll be told off by someone but its important (to me at least) and does relate to the forum sort of.. Like many in greater Auckland and beyond, I have a water issue at home (i.e I'm on tank water and supply is difficult). I am trying to confirm my math with regard to a) capacity of my 2 tanks which are connected - at the bottom (and so in my mind 1 body of water for the purpose of this exercise) and Usage. Capacity; I believe that to work out the amount of water I do the following; 3.14 (pii) x radius ® x radius ® = this result is the square metre measurement of the ta

that is quite a fleet. Should be an awesome watch.

quick cover ya eyes.

I wonder if they come with armour plated pontoons.

thanks for that Lateral. I have had exp. with isocyanate cross linkers b4 - nasty stuff. Made nonsense of carbon activated face masks in very short amount of time, and makes people sh*t faced unless they take serious protective steps.. However - excellent heat and water resistance, so kind of makes sense. What did you clean the surface down with to begin?

Lateral whats this stuff u mention?

have results been posted anywhere yet?

I remember being in North Cove in a frisky westerly around the lodge area and she came charging in under full sail, the helm was put to starboard, she rounded up, sails and the pick were dropped in what seemed like one act and the crew disappeared. Well impressed I was and that black hull seemed more fitting than her current look. Hopefully someone will fall under her spell.

I blame Sir Stephen. He started it. Low cost crap is defined by its last line.

FWIW I used to be a member there yonks ago and it was not OK to leave a yacht on the hard for summer back then (i'm talking at least 15 years ago), so if that's what u meant by 'thinning' I'd say there's not much to it.

Priscilla2 are you in the know or repeating what you've heard? If there is any substance to the 'story' I'd expect its another nimby thing along the lines of Springs speedway albeit with a smaller group of supporters.

ambulance at bottom of cliff time again.

Thieving toerags. I'd love to know what the publishers think of that -is it a copyright breach? My mum brought me a copy years ago & it is intriguing reading. David Lewis was quite a guy. Amongst the things I took from it was that the 'spiders web' tattoo on the hand between thumb and forefinger is not always the sign of a hoodlum.

Cant be a council facility. Theres no double height fencing with warning signs.

Is it time to shut it down Matt? Seems like OP has served its purpose.

Hi Richard -i'd like to take em. Will PM U with my mobile. Woild you give me a bell or let me know your number and I'll call u back

It isn't broken, leave it.

BP's on the money.

Sent myself to the naughty corner for that one. Woopsy
