  1. My ancestors were the first European colonists to NZ’s south Island.

    *Once mango trees are planted, the trees will take about eight years to produce any mangoes.

     

    Damn, I planted a mango tree about 1 year ago now I have to wait another 7 years. :dude:


  2. Hay I found out the kid's(Nigel's) height when I picked up today's newspaper. Would you beliveve, it was on the first page, Not much going on in Aust.

     

    Anyway he's 173 cm tall, sorry I don't know what that is in imperial exactly I think it's around 5' 7" - 5' 8" which is pretty tall for an 11 year old.


  3. He looked pretty big on the tv, towering over his competitors he looked pretty solid as well.

     

    He looked like he may be Polynesian ethier Tongan or Samoan which if that's the case that would explain a lot.


  4. I click on Log Out and I get taken back to the Home page but it still display's me as Logged On.

     

    This is just a minor problem for me but I thought I'll ask how to fix it just in case i'm wasting system resources on the server or something by being logged on all the time.

     

    Thanks,

  5. In Australia, parents of opposing clubs are trying to ban a 90 kg 11 year old from playing jnr rugby league because of safety reasons.

     

    I know most people here don’t care about rugby of any kind but 90 kilos god damn that’s heavy.

     

    Normally I would'nt discriminate but I can understand the parents concerns.

     

    Oh, for those who may read this a still use the imperial system 90 Kg is just under 200 pounds.


  6. I was bored one day and then I came across this guys site who makes pulse jets.

     

    Pulse Jet site

     

    It's Kinda interesting, The most interesting there I think would have to be the DIY cruise missile project that the NZ government tried to stop.

     

    Note. He doesn't acually have plans on how to build pulsejets on his site.


  7. What countries have I been to, well I was born in NZ lived there for 8 yrs and moved to Australia where I still reside.

     

    About the only country i've been to VISIT is the US. (Unless you count the 1 hour stopover in Nadi, Fiji on the way back home :force: )

     

    I wanna see more of the world though, I am strong believer in the phrase.

    "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page."

     

    On my next trip i'll probably go to one of the south pacific island nations.
