No idea. Train one of the fish to hold it up the right way for you

Or subscribe. Details in sticky at top of club section

So why is it sideways? :-?

Not flowers or insects but Grant's nose after he walked into a pipe :roll: I guess you could say the photo is macro but his nose isn't :lol:

Under the wharf behind your place?

It's possible but quality will not be very good as VHS is bad to start with. You would have to freeze individual frames and save them.

I found a good smiley in response to Barrie's outright lie, to show I was all woman, but then thought it probably would not be acceptable in a family site :lol:

I would have said that would be a mini cycle as it builds up to match the load. As long as all goes well and the fish survive the experience with no ill effects I guess it doesn't matter what it's called. :lol:

Adding fish slowly enough to let the filter establish is cycling.

The Ibis in ChCh has a winter special on at the moment ($77) so perhaps the Hamilton one does too? Grant and I am interested in suggested accommodation as well.

Hmm might be worth a road trip from the good old Mainland. We could pick up a few one the way

Welcome. Hope you will be able to post some pics of your tanks at some stage too. Some of my relatives, a few generations back, came over here from Denmark so perhaps we are related :lol: My maiden name was Rasmussen, which I gather is the 4th most common name in Denmark (equivalent of Brown in English :roll: )

Yeah, what he said :lol:

Excellent. Thank you all. Now I know where to look.

I have no idea what the brand is (it is not Heye glue) but if you remember where you saw it, then inform me, I would appreciate it muchly.

No idea what it is but it certainly looks different! :roll:

Does anyone know if we still have any specialised puzzle shops left in NZ that sell puzzle glue? It is a special glue you put onto jigsaws to hold them together and form a protective shield. It causes the pieces to swell slightly and bond tightly together then leaves a lovely smooth protective sheen on top of the puzzle and it doesn't discolour with age. You used to be able to buy the Heye brand of puzzles in these shops (and Whitcoulls) many years ago but in these days of cheap nationwide chains all the small specialty shops seem to have disappeared. Nobody I have asked in local shops has any idea of what I am talking about :roll: I have Googled - unsuccessfully but dids find a place to buy Heye puzzles in the UK :bounce: There is one for sale on Trademe but they are asking more for it there than it would cost to get a new one in from the UK (inc postage and allowing for the exchange rate) :roll:

How many octaves a person can reach is different to how many they can actually sing. I am back to listening to The Refreshments and Albert Lee singing "I'm ready" :bounce:

Worthy of a funny caption competition? :lol:

Lucky there was somebody nearby!

Are you sure that is *phew* then, or *few* ? :lol: Keep an eye out for an outbweak of whitespot over the next few days. With a bit of luck that won't happen, as you caught it quickly, but be extra vigilant

My son has just informed me that Bubble N Squeak are moving so have a lot of fish on sale - including a small discus for $40

Hello. Nice pics.

Taste change, not only from generation to generation but personal taste changes as you age (I sadly speak from experience). I love songs with a good beat, good lyrics (but not essential) and TUNE. My tastes range from the 50's and 60's up to some of today's stuff. Not into heavy metal, rap and stuff. As a teen I liked Deep Purple and similar but also Bread, Creedence Clearwater Revival and I listened to Kenny Rogers when he was lead singer for The First Edition :roll: Elvis is good to play in the car and I also like Manhattan Transfer. You can't go past the Dark Side of the Moon LP either (that is a big round vinyl thing we recorded music onto before CD were invented ) My father is an embarrassment to the whole family as he listens to things like Ivy Mills and her piano, Russ Conway and Yodelling Greats! :oops: As kids he introduced us to the likes of Val Doonican and we would sing his songs when we travelled. He and mum loved dancing so we grew up listening to rock and roll and swing too so I love Gen Miller's In the Mood and others like that.

Well I just listened to the song as recommended by Joshlikesfish - all 6.13 minutes of it :roll: I will never get my 6.13 minutes back and may have lost a bit more hearing (and brain cells). I could not believe there were people saying "This is amazing!" etc. I don't think humans develop true music appreciation (and taste) until they are older :lol: The constant drumming drove me nuts - no finesse. The constant screaming was annoying - no tune. The lyrics were intelligible - may be just as well :roll: Out of curiousity, I tried to find the lyrics and there were none to be found. I guess I am not the only one to be unable to understand a word they screamed. I realise I am not the age demographic aimed for but there are some things that should not be termed "music". 8) I shall go back to listening to The Breeze (even if they do play the same songs over and over every day). I would listen to my downloads but since Grant set up the new computer I haven't been able to find them
