    I spent the last 6 years running a large (ie billion dollar per year) payroll system. We'd make about 45,000 payments a week usually anything from 15 cents to 15 million per payment. I think the most was $65 million in one day.

    I do number crunching for a local Suzuki dealership - awesome - discounted goodies for my bike. A coincidence - I think not

    I saw the new Season 1 pack in Real Groovy. It's almost tempting to replace the current box sets, considering how much shelf space it would save. Although Bab 5 is hardly the worst offender on that front (Buffy, anyone?).

    Yeah; it's funny how different bikes can look. I think the Hyabusa is a mobile work of art, but it's a lot shorter in real life than it looks in photos; the Cagiva Raptor looks like a prop for Aliens when it's in a magazine, but looks a bit more normal in the skin.

    Heh. I know a chunk of the more recent immigrants into Westpac who came form the Bank of New Zealand - Keith Lawry, Bruce Laken and the rest of that mob.

    Good one Jack - we shelved our tow truck when the new regs and licences came in...the boss couldn't afford to pay for 6 licences,and we couldn't afford the tats.You got the tats covered and sun glasses are cheap.

    I am an apprentice electrician for Her Majesty's Army out at Linton- mainly domestic installations,rewires etc. Have got a fairly decent tool kit they have issued me with, and the best bit is, if I break any of it, they replace it free !!
