can you burn them in another format than mp3 ?

:slfg:

not only there... and no they do not taste like chicken :spop:

c'mon, I will appreciate it so it's not wasted time... :dnc1:

I once tried to dry a wet Chihuah... never mind

I honestly didn't know you have catiplilers in Nelson... :dnc1:

just testing something, all the posts with work today in it turn the work today into an active link which shows some spam on my desk - using google chrome it is probably just another friendly google take over... :fshi: edit: found it, was an 3rd party extension installed, got rid off it

done

just bought one yesterday at the butcher, delicious... :dnc1:

got a new WOF on my truck. got caught by a friendly 'guardian of the law' who pleased me with a $200 ticket for not having a current WOF (the ticket has had a 2 week bonus, if I get a WOF in this time the ticket will be swiped). have had to find a new WOF place for my truck. went to a place in Ranfurly (my fault, I didn't see the MTA sign outside) and got stung (at least that was what they tried to do) the tail lights on my truck are clear (some after market lights) and they told me I have to replace them as the red brake light isn't pure red. (wasn't an issue for many warrants up in Rotorua) they also told me not to buy cheap Taiwanese after market lights as the sun's UV does bleach every low cost light down here in Central Otago. just out of curiosity I did ask if they can supply some then. yes we have a wrecker who can supply them, 2nd hand original Toyota lights for $105.95 each including GST. thank you but no thank you. further problems were the front disc pads and the lower ball joints plus a nail in one of the tires. their offer to fix that was easy and fast calculated on the shop owners left palm with the help of a pen. all in all $635 plus the warrant $60 thank you. including GST ? yes including GST. how long will it take to fix ? it's done in 3 hours. let me sum that all up, $105.95 for the lights each, $211.90 plus $635, a whooping $846.90 in total. told them I will let them know... (actually they did fix the nail for $30 on the spot, so that was done) went home, started my computer, looked on TradeMe and got two original tail lights for $25 each plus shipping ($70 in total) and found the needed parts on the Repco website for $209.10. a mate came up from Dunedin and he brought me the parts. it was a bit of a challenge to replace the lower ball joints (as they were in there from the time the truck was built in Japan and that was 18 years ago) but with the help of our local mechanic here in Naseby (no, he does no WOFs), actually with the help of his balljoint fork the repair was done in time to get a warrant before the ticket has had to be paid. got the warrant (they did not ask who fixed it but I did ask to use their recycle bin to put the old parts in, hint). learned a lot about my truck and saved a whole heap of money by doing the repair on my own in the back yard...

are you going thru a break up... ?

:rolfl: he even ate half of it... :dnc1:

Denny Crane (aka Chattan Lord Bruno) caught his first mouse in da house... :thup:

no worries, it was an outside one...

What a shame the Ironman New Zealand organisers lack the mettle of their competitors. What a shame they agreed to bribe the tribe. What a shame they did not reply to the Tuwharetoa extortion demand of $58,000 thus: Dear tribe, Get stuffed. We refuse to pay you so much as a bent cent to swim in our largest lake. And it is our lake. Not your lake. It belongs to us. All of us. All the people of New Zealand. You claim that Lake Taupo is a taonga. (Let’s face it, you claim anything you can extort money for is a taonga.) How very conveniently you use the modern meaning of that word, and not the 1840 meaning. And yet surely, if you’re talking Treaty rights, it would be only fair to use the meaning current at the time of the Treaty? Of course, we know your tribe did not sign the Treaty. But they were happy, were they not, to accept all the wonderful benefits of modern civilization that flowed from it? Just as their descendants are happy to use it to screw money from their fellow citizens. But back to the meaning of taonga, circa 1840. You see, we looked it up. And what did we find? In the only dictionary current at the time of Te Tiriti, taonga was defined as ’property procured by the spear’. And the man who defined it for Cambridge University was none other than the great Ngapuhi warrior chief Hongi Hika, in England looking for guns. You want a second opinion? Then let’s take the next dictionary, published in 1844 — four years after the Treaty. Same thing: taonga: ‘property’.. Nothing about treasure. Or wind. Or radio waves. Or lake waves. Taonga to your part-ancestors was their stuff. It was their chattels. The cloaks they dressed in. The hooks they fished with. The tomahawks they butchered their slaves with. It most certainly was not their whole ecosystem. It was not their language. It was not everything their great-grandchildren would one day take a shine to. You cannot spear a lake. “So if you want us to bribe you to swim in that lake, you’re out of luck. On behalf of all decent New Zealanders, who, unlike you, have a highly developed sense of fair play, we will cancel this event for good rather than submit to your bribery and corruption. When the mayor and citizens of Taupo deservedly condemn you for your greed, do not blame anyone but yourselves. Let your greed be on your conscience, if you have one. Unlike you, we do not believe New Zealanders should have to pay a licence fee for the use of their country. Taupo mayor Rick Cooper says your moneygrubbing makes him feel sick. He is not alone. All of your fair-minded countrymen are sick and tired of being shafted by two-bit tribal racketeers.

...bloody bitch (I am talking about my female dog chasing a cat)

What the 'glasses frame'... I know someone who knows someones brothers sisters husband with a black dog called exactly that... (...no the dog is not from Nigeria)

as soon as the trains are painted, weathered and pictures taken I actually loose interest in them... ...and if you're not a petrol head you will never understand the fascination in watching them going round and round and round

not sure what you mean but the Giz has pole for the first race tomorrow... :dnc1: ...and 19 year old Scott McLaughlin starts from 10th position (and somewhere in between is another kiwi, Fabian Coulthard)

it looks like the ITM400 will be with some delay on Prime but that's it...
