Thanks for that! oh yeah and David, do you still have full use of your limbs? Just curious :lol:

My son is turning 4 next week and he has had a go on a trampoline a couple of times (thanks Johannes!) and just LOVES it. We were thinking of buying one for his birthday but we don't have a huge section. Were thinking of a 10ft, one of those ones with the netting surround, but there is such a huge range to choose from, huge price range, loads of different importers selling on Trade Me. Can anyone recommend one over another?

I wanna hear one in the wild. Maybe that's not possible

I would give anything to hear a Kokako sing. Where is the best place in and time to be able to hear it (apart from at 9am, Morning Report, Radio NZ National)?

:lol:

Xtra and Telstra Clear are competitors, not the same company.

How on EARTH did they win best isp? Who were they up against, no one? We called them the other day to find out how to cancel our service when we change to a new provider. They asked who we were changing to, and I said we don't know yet but we are be prepared to pay double what we're paying now to not go through Telstra.

Oh I can feel my blood pressure rising just thinking about this. You ring the Telstraclear helpline and the lady can 'understand certain words and phrases'. Well I can tell you she doesn't understand some of the phrases I would like to shout at her. Oh and anyway, make sure you are in one of those bomb shelters built for WWII before you 'select your options by speaking' because if a bird sings or a baby coughs two suburbs away she will either tell you she didn't understand or put you through to the wrong department. Once you're through, there will be a wait time of at least 90 minutes (yes folks, an HOUR AND A HALF), during which time you will be able to listen to saxophone with orchestra renditions of hits from the 80s which will make you want to step into a warm bath and open a vein. Deep breaths, in out in out.

So what would be the best macro lens to buy for my Canon 400D which won't break the bank?

Yeah it is a compact flash, but our best friends own King Country Computers so I have ordered one of his cool multi card reader type thingies. Thanks y'all!

A few of my fav places... Mt Ruapehu Somewhere north of Gisborne Rawene Rawene

Just took these this afternoon...

Yeah I plus it in via a USB cable. Yay I get to buy a new gadget!

I have a Canon Eos 400D which is great, but it takes FOREVER to transfer the photos to my computer. I have just been using the Eos Utility program that comes with the camera, there's gotta be a better way. I have a 1Gb card and when the card is full or nearly full, it takes around 20 minutes to connect.

Yeah that is what I was wondering, the sender said they used NZ Couriers but I think a lot of people think they are the same as Courier Post. Thanks for trying, I shall just have to be patient.

Anyone know what courier company this number is from and where I put it to find out the parcel's whereabouts? WK026462115NZ

It looks like this... http://larelle.files.wordpress.com/2007 ... dfinch.jpg

Yes, bliss, shame about the rain! Looking forward to summer though, I shall be very sophisticated.

I dunno what type he is, but he was the only one in Hutt Pets that was singing his little heart out so I went for him. Yes he has the naff haircut.

I have the aviary in the garden and it has 1 male (I think - he was singing up a storm before I got him) canary, one of those ones with a boy band hairdo, 2 little zebra finches and a goldfinch. They are all so cute. And of course adding to the natural ambience of the garden.

Definitely Havana coffee, x-blend. Icoco in Auckland do some nice coffee too. We have a fancy schmancy Gaggia espresso machine though

Wow thanks for all that info. I haven't anything to breed but I was always wondering. I certainly don't want a bunch of fish with skirts, long hair and scarfs

Ok so this is prolly a really stupid question. Say I have a pair of fish, and they have offspring, males and females. Can those offspring breed amongst themselves or is it just something you shouldn't do? Do a breeding pair need to be from different families, or can you have some kind of Fritzl fish family?

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Was just about to PM, but here's as good as anything, yeah they are beeeutiful. Thanks so much for bringing them

Hmm yeah I didn't help at all in the end though. Sorry And what a bummer this is going to cost you $215 to get them down to Wellington. They must be some fantastic fish! And yeah had a great time, love seeing my fish swimming in my tank now. Will put up pics this week.
