You obviously know nothing about power - fax machines need electricity to work too.
You'll have to courier it up there.

Are you certain they are not Rock Badgers?

**Karma** · 12th June 2006, 17:28

Do you know how hard it is to import rock badgers from Israel...

**The_Dover** · 12th June 2006, 17:33

I have some Palestinian contacts that may be able to help with that.

Hmm...

Not sure I'd want them spreading negative vibes amongst the existing hamster residents.

Wouldn't want any suicide bombings or anything... you'd smell burnt fur for days...

But yeah, no coffee was a bitch for us too. But we have lots of windows so we kept on with our studies =P

Not true. Traffic was banked up from East Tamaki to town because of a 4 car pile up on the New Market fly over. There was also gridlock going from town to the shore.
City streets were good though.

Hmmf, don't know what all the fuss was about. We had plenty of power here in East Tamaki. All day.

Does seem a bit silly to have only one line feeding a major center of business tho.

Then again this sort of thing is controlled by the same people who allowed the Sylvia Park malls to be built then act surprised when traffic comes to a standstill as thoudands of pea brained morons, oh sorry, 'consumers' try and all go to the same shop at the same time. Next they'll have to widen the Mt Wellington highway to cope with the traffic.

Seems common sense and foresight go out the window when there are short-term dollars to be made (or saved).

Yep.The plans are drawn up. Links to the new "Eastern Highway that isn't"

Yeah, I was referring to crossing the city which is normaly a nightmare because of all the traffic lights that aren't sinc'd. Take em out and it's fine.

They are synched! Just synched to annoy = I got every farkin red light between Ponsonby Rd and Grafton bridge at 7pm on a Sunday night. I think it took me almost 10 minutes to drive 3km.

They are sync'ed. Problem is they are sync'ed around the speed that Mabel drives at. So any sane person gets to the next light way before it is green.
