  1. So I googled.. he's from the Princess Bride? A movie which I have only seen once, which was a very long time ago and I didn't particularly enjoy so never watched again. There's my excuse.

  2. Everyone else around the country probably feels the same, looking on but wishing they could just get down there and muck in and help.

    Agreed. I'm sitting here doing nothing at work. It's really quiet because we deal mainly with the Christchurch branches of the insurance companies. So obviously none of them will be emailing us, calling us or sending us new jobs.

    I went to Christchurch to help our office up there for a week after the 7.1 eq, so its possible I'll be sent up again at some stage. I don't know what state the office building is in but I know all our the Chch office employees are all fine. Does anyone know if the Rydges is ok?

    All I can offer is an airbed on the floor of the spare room at my house in Western Southland... well away from the shaking..

  3. Caryl, apparently its not the Copthorne, it was the PGG building. Over 200 people work in those offices, including Marsh Insurance brokers who we deal with a bit.. :(

    I could offer accommodation for a couple of people maybe, we don't have a spare bed, we do have an airbed though... and the spare room is a bit of a mess at the moment.. but the most important thing is that its not shaking.

  4. but he said there are dead bodies in the street and they can't get their vehicle out of the car park building so a friend is going to try and get them home :(

    Oh god how terrible. I've seen a bit of footage on the tv in the office. They had an aftershock live on tv and people were screaming, running and the camera quickly panned to the Cathedral church were more of it was falling to the ground. Sent shivers down my spine both times I saw it. Absolutely horrible.

  5. And contrary to popular belief, it isn't better to let your female cat have at least one litter of kittens. That is just a myth.

    I've had plenty of cats in my time, currently have six. I have never allowed any of my females to have kittens and they are perfectly healthy, normal, lovely natured cats. And all my males are neutered. My neighbour just got two kittens, a male and a female if I am correct. And I'm going to make DAMN sure he gets them desexed as soon as they are old enough! I'll even volunteer to pay for it if he can't afford it.

  6. I think you've got to do away with a few species..

    You seem quite keen on the kuhlis so maybe up them to 5 (because they are said to be happier in larger groups) and maybe keep a group of tetras and a few plants, it'll still be colourful with the colours of the tetras against the green of the plants.
