No takers on the Bamboo question then?

Nice one! How did you make the balls so round?
I would have thought they would have dropped off in this weather.
It's Snow joke I tell you... -

I think they might rather Endothermiate?
Well, I was thinking more of how cold weather, and indeed, snowbeings, would remove heat from a body, such as mine, so my getting cold would be an exothermic process and therefore constitute a threat from such being. QED
I did consider "Exthermiate" but thought that would have been technically incorrect...
</pendant> ;-)
Still on the subject of natural occurrences, has anybody else noticed the exceptional growth of bamboo this year and if so what conclusions have you drawn?. -

we’re going to go out and build a snow-dalek
Fnahh, "Exothermiate"

Jenny Shipley has several.
And she can Afford plenty more but I guess when you have a bit of dosh you need to be paid bucket-loads to even get out of the sack in the morning. I would of thought $500 a day would have been heaps for an ex-teacher who loves to donate her time to charitable works...
She gifts a lot of her time to organisations – from raising an endowment fund for the Heart Foundation and sitting on the board of the newly launched New Zealand Global Women, to her family’s charitable trust, which benefits the children of Namibia at Ehomba School.
It would seem that the people of her own base are now only a means of extracting cash for her families coffers...
“I entered into my political life mainly from that Canterbury base. Leadership was always a topic of conversation as children. My father was a minister so oratory ideas and discussing leading social issues of the time was very much part of the environment I was raised in.
So much for charity, eh?

Ah, the days of arguing with Bible teachers, or whatever they were called back then. I was banned from Sunday school after being told off for arguing with the teacher and coming back with the excuse that "Jesus argued with the priests in the temple so I'm like Jesus"
Not a popular boy was I.

Compromise is always a good solution I find. I was bought up as an Agnostic which required me to go to church every other week.
