Hello from West Auckland
I was a youth once too - about 45 years ago :gigl: I thought oi oi was what you shouted while waving your arms to scare off the kingfisher! :slfg: If you look in the coldwater section you will see my threads about setting up my pond, also in 2006. There is a link to the photos taken during the build, and updates since. How much of the surface is covered by plants? Afternoon shade may not be enough and over feeding plus excess sun may both be culprits in aiding algal growth. It is suggested 50% - 75% of the surface should be covered in plants.

What to do/see in Southland?
Hard to say until you narrow it down a bit. Only 2 weeks does not give you enough time to see much but, for a start, there's... Manapouri Power Station tour. We have done this and it is really interesting, even if it doesn't sound like it :sml2: . Not for the claustrophobic as you go 2km underground. https://www.realjourneys.co.nz/en/exper ... r-station/ Fiordland National Park Day Walks http://www.doc.govt.nz/documents/parks- ... -walks.pdf Milford Sound Discovery Centre. Has a floating Underwater Observatory. Brilliant! See rare black coral and all sorts of stuff. http://www.southerndiscoveries.co.nz/mi ... bservatory Albatross Colony – Dunedin. Also has a gun battery. Very interesting. Don't shoot the lighthouse! http://www.albatross.org.nz/ Visit Stewart Island – lots of walks, including the Rakiura Track. Fly or ferry over. Not cheap but worth a look. http://www.stewartisland.co.nz/ http://www.newzealand.com/int/feature/rakiura-track/ The Catlins offer walks, cycling trails, fishing, kayaking, penguins, horse treks and lots more. http://www.catlins.org.nz/ Walk a bit of the Routeburn Track http://www.newzealand.com/int/feature/routeburn-track/ Walk a bit of the Milford Track http://www.newzealand.com/int/feature/milford-track/ Walk a bit of the Kepler Track http://www.newzealand.com/int/feature/kepler-track/ Lots to do around Te Anau... http://www.lonelyplanet.com/new-zealand ... -anau-glow

Dear Photobucket
Hah, I was just venting I have told them what I think of them when I switched back to the old version and they wanted to know why

happy new year to everyone
I doubt it. That would require him going outside and moving about a bit. I know Naseby is small but not that small. :slfg: He is soon to have a Great Adventure on the Petbus!

Dear Photobucket
Stop changing my stuff without asking me first!!! I know you keep telling me the new look is better but I am old, I don't like change, and know how to do what I want in the old version. If I wanted your new version I would have clicked on the "Try Me!" button but I didn't so LEAVE MY ALBUMS ALONE!!! :evil:

happy new year to everyone
No, because he won't have the other one to chase :thup: I was surprised one of them was Denny as he is usually too lazy to get out of his own way. It is the first time I have ever seen him move much! Explains why he now looks like this...

happy new year to everyone
Ditto. Hope others had a better night than me! Grant got called out about 10pm so didn't get home until 3.30am so I was by myself. About 4.30am 2 cats decided to have running races up and down the hall, galloping and thudding noises ensued with the occasional vocal complaint. I had to get up and check they did not have an unfortunate animal they had brought in and let go - they didn't. Or check it was not actually a neighbouring cat - it wasn't. When I got up and turned on the light both just sat and looked me as though to say "What? I am just sitting here minding my own business. Not moving at all!" :roll:

ok to save us all some surfing post your stoopid stuff here
Why should we be afraid? After all, they are plotting against you :gigl:

The What's Up? thread.
According to an article on Stufff... "Nelson, for example, has a huge number of breweries and quite rightly calls itself New Zealand's craft brewing capital, but a lot of the beer brewed in Nelson is drunk in Wellington." Not sure why having more beer drunk in your region makes you a beer capital, as I thought it referred to the making of it, but there you go. :dunno:

Wellington marine centre poisoned
I wonder if they are related to the ones who threw the turtle out the car window or those who stoned the rare gull chicks :evil:

The What's Up? thread.

The What's Up? thread.
I have spent all afternoon working on the next Aquarium World. I have been sent no articles so far so I fear it will be a slim one! &c:ry

The What's Up? thread.
Freaking out won't help the heart rate! We have several patients who come for regular B12 shots every 6 weeks to 3 months (varies from person to person). Stay calm. At least they know what the problem is and look to rectifying it and/or finding the underlying cause.
