I would think many Kiwi farmers have done the same thing without giving it a second thought !

The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
my own fault really.

My team and I invent things for a living... (no seriously) and other 'stuff' where we build solutions out of things... Sales thus far in the millions of $$... sadly not to me.....

I once invented a rotating toilet paper holder to solve the problem of whether toilet paper should roll over or under.
I got second prize in a competition for it.
But that said, toilet paper should always roll over, so you dont get your poo up the wall?

Now that's what I like to hear!!!
There are so many tools available today that are so crap or overpriced... Opens up lots of markets for people that can produce local stuff that is better quality than the cheap chines imports and a lot cheaper than the Brand name American stuff..
Ask,you will recieve.(Ex-Boer)
LOL!!! I always knew the toilet paper should roll over.. But now I have an excellent explanation why!!!!
Forum whore
Damn I'd hate to be a fly on the wall in your toilets then! I normally remove some paper from the roll and then wipe my arse with it.
Forum whore
Yea but what if you have to reach for more. If the paper is rolling under, you will have to touch the wall. And then the next person will touch the wall reaching for some paper, and they may then again touch the wall adding to the mess there. It goes on like this until your wall is furry.

Ahhhhh.... I was a bit worried for a moment
Sounds really interesting... How would you get the sorter to do the sorting?(Or is it a trade secret..)
It is a very active industry and there certainly is a lot of money to be made, even in countries like New Zealand. However, in Asia the market is huge and grossly under-developed, Asian countries are only now realising the effects of their poor waste management.
The specific sector of the recycling industry I am in, depending on how you look at it, is worth approximately $22 million per annum (in NZ). But if you look at a country like Japan, it's worth nearly $1 billion per annum with very little "organised" competition.
Did anyone else hear about the scam where Japanese people were sold British and Australian sheep and told that they were poodles? Apparently one victim didn't find out until they took their "poodle" to the vet to have it's nails trimmed, only to be told that it had hoofs - and was a sheep.
- Large market density
- Lack of knowledge on the consumers part
- Cheaply acquired product, re-sold for $1,600 if I recall correctly
Now that's inventive!

I tiddle with electronics. most of my stuff never gets past crappy prototype though. I am working on a cheap helmet-helmet intercom atm.
I only posted this because of the global economic crisis
Kiwi back at home!
I have a few mechanical designs waiting to be turned and machined up, getting access to lathes and mills is a pain, sorted myself out with "training" in the workshops for three weeks earlier in the year to finally get round to doing it and whammo posted to chch
I use Autocad Inventor 11 which is nice to use and allows you to materialise the image floating about in your head
In some operations humans are used for the sorting of a select range of known plastics (i.e. they're sperated by colour).
Kiwi back at home!
Also they use a machine that squirts aimed jets of air at a waterfall of plastic bits throwing them in to the correct chute.
