    Interestingly, I found out he was a C++ programmer. Whodathunk ?

    Who'd have thunk indeed. I do hope Key isn't planning to let him loose on the Communications & IT portfolios again.

    (with no Ferrari references at all, amateur!)

    Those blokes in pubs really lack ambition.

    and I guess we'll be waiting a (long) while before we see any of this roll-out from Telecom heading our way.

    That's kind of why I was wondering about the shiny new cabinet down the road in Otaki, which must surely be as provincial as New Plymouth! It's a rural road too.

    and you gotta use the new technology that's available.

    That's why I thought I might apply for one of these jiobs. Get me a new ferrari!

    As for jam, I'd rather just gorge on the fresh fruit than spending hours making what I could buy in minutes for the cost of a few minutes work.

    That's OK unless you have several hundred fruit, berry & nut trees - it is such a waste to see the birds get everything you can't eat or palm off on friends & rellies.

    Next year I'm seriously considering proper pipfruit storage facilities (rat proof plastic trays & moulded paper mache beds) Apparently they'll last for months if stored properly. And supplying the local farmers' market & filling the freezer.

    Although we're not big on making jam & pies & stuff.

    Just kidding. I understand you're saying a guy drives to the cabinets each day in a ferrari, gets everyone's email out & walks it the last mile or so to your place.

    Right?

    Something very like this (but it is closed up so I can't compare the innards) has appeared at the end of our street in Otaki.

    I can't recall what the ealier posting said about this, but are they rolling out far & wide yet? Or just your neighbourhood?

    you can use a yoghurt maker to make cultured buttermilk too. Which tastes like cheese.

    Cultured buttermilk... I imagine the uncultured buttermilk has an ocker accent.

    I'm just amused at how much people pay for the stuff when it grows like a weed.

    I used to feel the same way about actual weed.
