    Can we sell Timaru to the Chinese to get our billion dollars back?

    I hate to say it. But there probably is ( more than) the odd billion going out through Timaru/ Chch/Dunedin wharfs. And probably to China!

    The fact is that south of Kaikoura, until we get our main income away from farming, the balance of payments in that part of the country will remain positive. The rest of the country gets to spend it.

    In Bad Orb, a small town east of Frankfurt, Germany. Lots of Bads around there. I found a van with advertising on the side, "Bad Design".

    There was a motorcar company in Upper Hutt called Kerr Wynne.

    Thankfully, they kept their name in alpahbetical order.

    My guess would be a fairly low percentage of the population, but I am only basing that on those that I know.

    Well we know what rest home operators think don't we. Remember the bloke who wanted a bit on the side and the operators tut tutted and (I think) stopped him getting it.

    He won't be counted then.

    Which I suppose would lead us into a debate on what we mean by "work"...

    Hmmm....Ok.... maybe we could have a discussion on what "work satisfaction" might mean then.

  • Up Front: Eat Up Your Brothelly,

    If you're less utopian than me, for "joy" read "satisfaction".

    Moi. Poor simple male. Now it would probably start a war but it could be an interesting thread. But.........

    What IS "satisfaction"?

    It has just been pointed out to me that what I am really looking for is a bloke who is just slightly less brilliant than me at Scrabble.

    Oh Jolisa. I would lose gracefully and it wouldn't cost you a cent. :-o
