the worst one i hate, is when you get to a passing lane, and after following someone for teh last 20 ks doing 80, they suddenly wake up and do 110... then slow down to 80 again after the lane closes.... :evil: :evil: :evil: i think that there should definately be a penalty for going too slow! i have before been stuck behind a van doing 60 in a 100, with two nanas too scared to overtake behind that! i ended up blitsing past them all in a fit of rage (not the best solution looking back, but what else can you do??)

double cab ute? im just biased atm... and what u tryna say? liberos wouldnt pick up chicks?? they would in evo3/4 trim... lol

in Zimbabwe, millipedes were called "Chongololo" (shong- ga- lo -lo) and, thier appearence was meant to foretell a coming rain, and as such were considered lucky.

+1 the utes! if he got a legnum, y not look at something similiar, like a libero x, 4wd, 2.2l doch and some are turbo, and if N/A manifolds etc are readily available for them

good on ya mate! i want to try find a new job, but trying to find something flexible enough for tech is nigh on impossible.... what ya doing? lol

correct me if im wrong, but adverts, by their conception and point, are meant to make you want to buy a product or service... what the has a guy in a gorrilla suit playing drums, or 2 kids with weird eyebrows got to do with chocolate!!! i dont want to buy chocolate if it makes my eyebrows do that!!! also that song teh gorrilla plays has a dark history and associations with it... which i wont go into here. also i cant stand the fact that female sanitation ads are on during the day at times when children are watching tv, and especially from 4-8 when most family TV is on!! In South Africa, and indeed most other places around the world, female sanitation is a private, discreet, and above all not discussed or advertised when children are around! fine after say, 8pm? when most children go to bed... who wants to explain to thier pre-teen children exactly what female sanitation consists of... the "U" adds are by far the worst yet, considering that i take "beaver" to be as offensive as the "c" or "t" words, as does my family.

ill second the rwd getting me in trouble.... lol even if it just a standard v6 commie.... lol started teh search for my ute paul, hopefully will have the buildup started by the en of the year..

looks like a common catfish also known as "barbel" in South africa. they are common as muck and it is quite common that people keep them in a bath like that to clean them up so they dont taste as muddy when eaten. good on the cat i reckon... got its own dinner!!

i think my parents got a deal, but also since they are an african bird and SA doesnt have as strict regulations as MAF etc

name: Christopher aka chris aka Hazard(a name earned...) age: 21 apparently, but they keep my mental age printed on my shoes for if they find me lost... sex: 3 times daily please... i mean... male...

we had an african grey in South Africa, called iccarus, after the man that flew too close to the sun. we got him for R2000 (approx Nz$400) he got his name since when my parents went to pick him up, the guy picked him up out of the cage, saying" hes too young to fly yet" 2 seconds later he flew out the door. took 2 days to catch him... he stayed quite close by luckily. but then my brother dropped him one day and he never liked humans again, always biting... but he got really good at imitation, he used to call the dogs inside, then when they got there he'd sound like my dad and yell "OUT!!!" and the dogs would cower and leve again... also used to imitate my grandmother calling my grandpa...

im another leo... and a very typical leo too... thoug in my fam (not for the counting in the poll) my mums capricorn, dads aquarius, and brother is cancer so, leo and capricorn butt heads, and aquarius and cancer butt heads... and leo and cancer also are meant to be incompatible... and as for the normal distribution theory, its already a known fact that there is an increase in births around september... 9 months after xmas and new years...

yea i get that, but the fact that some people might still have a go at it would make it funny...

i had 15 lemon tetras, about 10 of them were female and they were ready for breeding, some were already showing signs of carrying... then, i noticed my tank started leaking on the front right corner, so i borrowed a tank from living art and put them all in there... temps were less than 1degree diff, half the water was from the original tank, and the tank that mark gave me has been used for awhile in his breeding program when it was running. all of a sudden they all one by one seemed to spasm out, swimming sideways etc and died. also lost 5 glowlights and 2 h&t light tetras... all my other fish were fine incl my neons. then a couple days later my favourite gold/white atlum angel that i had had since day dot got fin rot and died so quickly i couldnt do anything about it. all other fish were fine and happy... still have absolutely no idea what the deuce happened. but!!! now i have a newly repaired tank that i have all the oppertunity in the world to recreate what i want. i never thought i would get over it, but after seeing Marks fish a few times and talking about it, you get over it... onwards and upwards i say!

try up by maclarens falls, or otanewainuku... theres a couple places out pyes pa or oropi ways, we did mci scores etc up there and got koura and a heap of inverts, so i imagine there should be some fish around... if they havent been trouted out.. or you could go down to barkes corner and see our friendly living art, and gaze into the streams around there ive seen heaps of galaxids down there... which reminds me that i need to survey them... hmm... you could send the kids along for that if you wish? ill be spotlighting and baiting the streams and i really need incentive to get onto it... haha

i have often wondered: if you were to stand in a street with a damp cloth and propose to people passing by "does this smell like chloroform to you?" and how many people would sniff it... :lol:

hey its not just displacement! that supercharger will make things alot more interesting! as well as being rear wheel drive... hehehehe and my demerits tick over in 3 months....

well thats teh other option... Feed on them b4 they feed on you!!! well... your fish can do teh feeding on your behalf... though those little wrigglers could make your stir fry more interesting....

my next car is going to be a hybrid... i wanna drop a supercharged (toyota sc14) 306 v6 3.8l (holden) into a double cab navarra (nissan) with a hopefully big lsd from a ford. the rest of the body im going to fabricate out of multiple other styles too... looking at gettin some bmw headlights lol or just a holden v8 if i can get the pingers together... itll either be beautiful or a disaster... but im looking forward to it! :bounce: :bounce: i never understood he holden vs ford arguement myself... maclaren vs ferrari in the F1 is much more interesting to me

mosquitos can be attracted by carbon dioxide in a persons breath, the personal body odour (not that you have to stink they pick up tiny amounts of natural smell) and then once closer they sense where your hot spots are to have greatest chance of gettin blood. ive heard geraniums are good deterrents, lavender, chamomile, citronella obviously. but by far the easiest is to try get rid of any pools of stagnant water. in the phillipines the council can actually come round to your property and check if you have stagnant water in your yard, and then fine you. another tip, if you have an amount of water that you want to keep outside (eg. bird bath) put a drop of detergent into it, it breaks the "skin" of the water (surface tension) and mosquitos cant land on it to la eggs, and even if there are eggs that survive the larvae cant use their air tubes ( when you see them all at the surface bum up head down they are breathing) cos the water tension is not strong enough.

or send it in a email to me... might be easier [email protected]

dont suppose you could embed a picture for thse of us restricted from photobucket by polytech firewalls could you?? i could probably readily ID it and prob give background info too

one of my heaters says that it has to be submerged past this line... and my other one doesnt state but i have had it submerged for age with no problems. though i admit i try not tinker with the settings while submerged... in fact i try not tinker with anything other than when i set it up... lol

speaking of species, from what i remember in biology... say you have a population, they have 1 gene pool and they all look fairly much the same. when a isolating geographic or other factor (such as being removed from the area, or a mountain pops up, or a river splits and forms a oxbow lake etc) a part of the original population gets isolated. these 2 populations are now subjected to different evolutionary pressures and as such their niches move apart and thier gene pools (through mutation, or genes being omitted over time) become very different. now my understanding is, and im willing to be corrected, that the 2 popultaions are classed as different species when they cannot reproduce with the original population (whether it be due to physical, behavioral, or other biological factors) or when they are forced to breed the F1 are either infertile or have genetic problems. only in certain circumstances can the f1 survive and are fertile, and show traits of both the parent populations. and this is referred to as a hybrid. also if inthe case that 2 animals have a different amount of chrmasomes, the F1 is always either infertile if come to term, or is aborted or does not fertilise in the 1st place. famous chromasomal difference that comes to term and can survive... the Jack ass, and even in this case it has to be a male donkey and female horse i believe, and the ofspring is always male?? something likethat anyway.

i sympathise... my GF watches all of the above... just dont mention that you can get episodes ahead on you tube to any of them or the computer will be completely booked for weeks on end...
