    I didn't say it was nice. Just not quite sure what 'false' means in this context.

    The falsehood of some people's friendships in cities...one day hugging you, the next stabbing you in the back for some corporate advancement. The whole *insert fake air kisses noises here*: :"Daaaaaaaaling!! You look so very thin/ cosmopolitan with that blue hair and overpriced pashmina!...blah, blah, BS"...all about the latest Rolex or expensive car.

    Anyway, I'm not saying it's everyone like that. I guess it's gotten worse for me since I started working with real estate agents

    Not something I've ever had to deal with.

    Then again, I'm quite happy wearing my Citizen Eco-Drive and getting around on the only vehicle that can be purchased brand new in NZ for $10 per engine cc.

    Living a sheltered life does not make for a suitable comparison, now does it?

    Unfortunately, you can put stuff in series with your power source and take the voltage up and down and swap between DC and AC, but you can't get more power out. 1KW in = 1KW out. You can only get a higher voltage at the expense of being able to draw less current.

    Be nice if one didn't have to work within the limitations of thermodynamics, but physics is a bastard like that.
    Well i want my money back then lol
    Took it with a dose of salt though !
    Teach me to believe everthing i hear ! Sounded good at the time, but then i know nothing of physics
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Move down to the Waikato. We slap our women on the arse, and TELL them they're getting fat.
    Can't bet "in ya face" honesty. (doesn't help with their weight loss, but sure as hell helps with my running fitness).
