Welcome to another Pictonite. I have sent you a PM with Sally's contact.

Next one will be different again as we may be trialling another printer

We travel an hour and half to meetings too sometimes (or 3 and a half when we attended Totally Tank's). Not easy. You can join a club, even if you are not able to attend meetings. You may still get a club newsletter and perhaps join in annual events like shop crawls or tank competitions etc. It also makes you a member of the FNZAS with the extras that entails. If none of that appeals, subscribe

He didn't walk into a bar, he walked into a pipe. Come up with your own punchline :roll: He has been telling anyone who asked that I 'did a Miss Piggy' on him - aiyyy- yah!

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
