I use the back brakes because the front ones are stuffed of course

Last wof for Trina's car said the front light was 2cm's to low, the door handle was loose, 2 tires wouldn't be warrantable in 6 months so fail. jeese she only does 4000 kms a year in it!! However Boyds have been good and only failed me last time for some cracks in the tire (plenty of tread though). suppose better to be safe than sorry.

I always forget that some people are a little unfair in the warrent thing i got 4 different mechanics that i trust to be completely honest and fair. Never been to boyds service dept tho i do hear they are real good

Yeah Boyds have been good and I do trust them and what work I have had done has been well quoted and well priced and they have been more than helpful!! Hate those vehicle testing stations which miraculously have a beaurepairs, panel beater, auto electrician etc etc attached. Seems a good opportunity for backhanders. When Trina's tyres failed the guy at the testing station told us not to go to budget tires!! Whats it to do with him where we get them!!

5deg with rain and wind today. These people have a funny idea about summer

Just sent Trina to get some sunscreen. That heat out there could be dangerous watching cricket for 6 hours in the sun with a cold beer (I hope its cold, guess you don't have to worry about that down there). FYI the perfect temperature to serve beer at is 4 degrees

Crazy day at work, can't login to mainframe as citrix server portal is down (whatever that means) so I get internet but no emails, no excel, no word so basically can't do anything (only one smallish conference and everyones checked out and no checkins to after 5) but read kb and go to the cricket. What a bummer of a day.

Is that 4deg the temperature of the beer or the ambient (outside) temp?

Good question, I forgot that you are a student at Otago so need everything spelt out ad infinitum. The perfect temperature for beer to be served at is for the beer to be chilled to 4 degree's (you do know what a degree is don't you??). Although many NZ'rs and Aussies prefer it colder, by reducing the temperature the beer is served at means that it cannot give it the fullest best bodied taste.

By the way if you leave a beer outside at the moment and leave it for a while the temperature down there only needs to drop 1 degree and you will have the perfect beer!!!

Errrr...far be it for me to disagree with ya Murray but I would have to say it depends on the beer...IMO, 4C is too cold for a genuine english bitter for example. But it is of course, eminently suitable for the local swill that nobody wants to taste anyway....

Yeah then you get steinlager (normal) and it needs to be served at 1c to stifle the aftertaste

Don't you put that english shit in the microwave

Me, I prefer my beer at 3.6C. Then again I only drink European beer

Squidward...wait until you start walking around it shorts and barefeet to class in the winter. Then you know you've been there too long. You come back up here and roast your tit off.

Trust me it'll happen. Rule of thumb too, always sit next to chicks in lectures - they have nicer handwriting to copy missed notes. NEVER sit next to guys. They destract you with "look at her" better to sit right next to the hot chicks and just look when you copy the notes

cause alot of cheaper tires come off imports, and are shit on nz roads.
budget tires gets most of the jap spec tires
