    Perhaps it's the chances of catching athletes foot in the wrong places.

    Don't stand so close to them when they're in full flight!

    Nor chicken.

    I thought the Lone Star was a steak house.

    You should see the "sides" menu.

    Actually, that reminds me of what you got when you ordered "Big Chicken" from this place I came across in Thailand. (Not steak, nor women).

    Usually just our flat- 2 guys, 3 girls, the occasional hanger on. We were shy & naive & wouldn't have set foot in the place otherwise :)

    the San Francisco Bathhouse for any combination of: game of pool, sauna, refreshing glass of orange juice and a Nutoata bar. It was also a knocking shop, but they didn't seem to mind that we weren't there for that.

    When we were going there (for the saunas too), there were no "ladies", just a rumour that there recently had been (our bursaries wouldn't have stretched anyway). Good sauna though, with a HUGE plunge pool.

    And the Casablanca - good times with mixed grills & truckloads of white bread! They don't do them like that any more.

    The original San Francisco Bathhouse in Welly (Willis St, rumoured to have once been a more seedy establishment that it was in the 80s) was notorious for drunken couples displaying their affection in the somewhat publicly sited spa pool.

    Sofie, you say that like there's a chance of a smart aleck response.

    I'm appalled.

    "Inappropriate behavour..." hmm, I suspect it's something to do with members.

    And dude, when Paul Verhoeven remakes the Grapes of Wrath, I'm confident there'll be a hot tub scene. Possibly involving Elizabeth Berkley.

  • Speaker: Surviving Small,

    And while we are on the subject - what aspect of the advertising business are you in Andrew?

    Eh? Moi? I'm in the corprate learning business - I think Mark, when he said this:

    Given my business, like Andrew's, is advertiser driven

    Was briefly mixing up the names "Andrew" and "Aliastair". As is common, in my experience.

    [:)]

    That said, years ago it was my ambition to get into advertising, I imagined a dashing life of bursts of creativity & long lunches (and sundry stuff) with models & actresses.

    Things don't always pan out the way you expect.

  • Speaker: Surviving Small,

    Al: Did you find a problem with clients? Did anyone not take you seriously because you were working out of your house?

    Will they even know? We're Wellington based, but we work across the country - we've got an Auckland phone number & many of our Auckland clients assume we work there - it's all done with phones, email, smoke & mirrors. We don't get that many clients visiting & in any case, our "office" will be a short walk from the CBD.
