Twinkles? too rite he is Needed 2 chairs to sit down and had to shoot away to prop the scrum at football

I figure a few poke with a sharp stick would release some of the extra fat I have over the winter therefore helping to improve my health by reducing my weight

Zev Hows your wife, didnt he have a cold/flu?

what about me? :oops:

quite q few around the Omaha/leigh area Heaps of sulpher crested cockatoo out west as well

I keep BBS hatching all the time but admit that I do breed a lot of fish I find BBS as one of the easiest live foods to feed to be honest

after they hatch they take about 24 to 36 hours to grow a mouth and rear end. For that first 24 hours they are at their best food wise and only start having a reduced value as time goes on so regardless of how long they will live for, I would not bother with them after say 36 hours. Why do you not hatch less but hatch more often?

why would a 17yo be even interested enough to think about that at a interview and it shows the type of employee you would be hiring why would I want to employ a person thats interested enough in booze to ask a question like that at an interview

hahaha there is no way you would do that They havnt read the thread have they

well done Puffer One guy (17yo kid) asked one question "do you provide the beers after work" and Im honestly not having you on for the record, we may have a beer once or twice a year as they guys are always on job and finish

soak the tank and use a stiff back razor blade to remove any removable mark while still filled with water Scratchs... forget about them If you need a couple of blades let me know and I will bring them down with me to the special meeting

tell you what, as a employer its hard to get someone as well People dont turn up or lie to you about what they have done. Ive even had people apply that have been stoned then want more than I earn. I guy told me he was happy to start on $30 per hour Ive now given up for a few months You mention suppermarkets, them and the red shed are 2 of the best trainers of people Ive come accross as they are shown how to deal with "awkward " customers

Ive given my Normani to Ryan so Im sure hes watching this with interest I have no lights on my tanks so dont get the best from them. Looking good Does the cat ever move?

we buy about 5 sacks per month If the birds are going to fly they need good fuel

Often dove mixes contain a lot of small seeds that do little for the birds. The basics are peas and corn (Popcorn is best) beware of the small seed mixtures

what area in Auckland are you? Are you a diver?

Im sorry but the retailer do not (in general) have high mark ups. What I suggest you do is have a rough look at what they will sell in a day. If they are lucky they will have a 100% margin which would produce a 50% gross profit. From that profit they need to pay rent (probably $500 minimum) power, wages, advertising, stock failure, ACC, public liability, insurance, holliday pay, sick pay and maintence. With whats left, they have to keep them selves fed and clothed. Now for the investment they have made and the commitment, I personally dont belive they are making enough. As an importer, you will need to bring in huge amounts of fish so that you can supply everyones needs (mine happen to be Killifish) so I will need you to bring in at least 15 specie. When (note when) you loose a certian amount MAF will come and take the rest away and distroy them so they can find out whats wrong with them only to find that stres has killed them but not to mater as you have just had to pay for your fish to be killed and disected. Still, dosnt matter as you can make it up on the next shipment only to find that the fish you were getting in for me (killifish) are no longer on the suppliers list and no I dont want what is already here thanks Good on you if you do it but please dont knock the retailers that are here that you will need to supply when you get your fish imported. (by the way, Im a glass merchant and get sick and tired of people telling me my margins are too large when they simply have no idea on business at all) I honestly dont mean to give you a hard time and am sorry if you see it this way

Cheap is one of the reasons you have this problem.SDont know what you paid for your fish but the 2nd most basic thing they need (after water) is warmth, ok my be 3rd after food as well The best is Visi-Therm but there will only be a few old stock ones about and the manufactures wont answer my emails or I would try to get them here. As to the 2nd best heater, I dont know, others will advise you Im sure

with Killis I have rams horn snails with the fry as that cleans any dead fry as well as excess food Snail droppings are easier to clean up

it was down a door way in the same block of shops... I use to take Japanese kids there when we use to host them

roast greasy? Not if its done right (cooked a roast pork last night and a roast chicken in the over now) Alienara, your right about those meat pies and note that I called them meat pies, not as most are and simply pies There use to be a great Chinese Resturant there called The Bamboo Grove that had great tucker and the best deep fried ice cream I have ever had. Although not in Auckland, my favorite 2 resturants were the small resturant at Horuru Falls(Bay of Islands) thats in the Palorama Motels and also the Pepper tree at Coromandel. At the confrence this year we also went to a Tai resturant in Whitianga. Ive forgotten the name but will be back there as well For a lunch bar type of place, again streets out in front of all else is the Bakery at Coromandel. A bit dearer but real nice tucker. Alanmin may be able to back me up on a couple of those

Im pleased to say that TM has emailed me telling me that they have removed the auction pleased to see that this trade will not mislead people

or what a dear John was Its just txt now

have a look at your Items lost and you will see he raised the starting bid to $500 them put sold on it... interesting I dont know of anyone in Auckland that has been breeding these and selling them for the last 12 months

while your on about tele companies I detest the smart rear ended youthfull bussiness phone thats kicks around a hacky sac and tries to make the older phone look foolish. Works totally in reverse for me as the younger one looks like it cant keep attentive for more than a second or two Although not adds, Vodafone call me up often telling me they can beat telecom. All they want is my last phone bill.... yea right I always tell them that they are welcome to tender a quote but I will not "shop" prices as thats unfair bussiness. Vodafone always say they will send a quote out but never ever do. (I have 5 cels and 3 landlines not big but easy money for them)
