Don't mind if I chime in. That current proposal works out to 68,000 NZD net. Not bad, depending 0on your tax situation. Everyone moves here for a better lifestyle, right? Figure out what you want with a comfortable life style, then add 10-15%, and that should be a good target. A nice apartment will ...

Just curious if the DF people have one of those mythical 4 (or even 5) day weekends? Easter Sunday was an "elective holiday for Catholics" at my office. Glad I am the first (any only one) here to set a good example. I hope all my Muslim and Hindu staff are at St. Mary's right now. 3 days w...

Further to my other post....none of the front office staff rolled in today. I can hear the phone ring at the front, but can't answer it in my office. Can someone please come here to DMC 1 and un-forward my switchboard?

Rib problems...I hear you. I pulled something in my back and it is killing me! You mentioned Panadene..I have seen Panadol...is that the same thing? That is the wife's cure-all...not sure if it will help or not. On another note...any idea where to get a 10 pin RJ 45 cable, also referred to as a &quo...

Panadeine = Panadol + Codeine. Never heard of a siamese cable... do you mean a crossover cable? No, it's not a x-over cable...essentially it is just a 10-pin RJ 45 but who knows where to get that without going shop-to-shop on computer street. I didn't know codeine was banned here! I guess being an ...

I have to say, it's a pretty slow day so far. Only four or five calls. Then again, it's only 9:45. I found the "auto answer" button, now I have to answer the damn calls!

The cable is for data, audio and video transmission. As per usual, the technician lost it long ago, but needs it TODAY. Isn't that always the way?

Its a power video cable mainly used while installing cameras.

It is actually for a Crestron touch-panel for an A/V installation. Do you know where I can get my mitts on one?

Hey Concs...are both your boxes at the same place? I am assuming UK? Changing the last 3 digits sounds a little much(usually only 1) should work. If you can set up a static IP for each device, that would be best. Usually they are just sequential, like 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, etc. No two devices ca...

I agree with Chocs. For every month it sits empty, you could have reduced the rent and had it snapped up. I think DSO is in the middle of nowhere unless you work there. The agents really do over-value. I got my place for 35,000 less than they were asking....just by being realistic. There was an iden...

Have you got the ability? I don't have the cable OR connectors here. Personally whether AMX or Crestron, doesn't matter to me. We seem to flog more Crestron than anything, though.

I just googled that and did not find anything. My cat would be a pretty strong contender for queen b.itch of all cats.

Alex, it is no secret the property market is a hotly debated topic. Do I wish I bought my villa last year when it was worth 1.7 vs 2.2 right now...yup. I think Choc's point...and correct me if I'm wrong...is value for money. WHy rent a 1bed apt. for slightly less than a villa when you get your parki...

Not paying attention? (either that or a total clutz)

So I got accused of having a "strong accent" the other day. We all know that there are varying degrees of British, Aussie, etc. accents. Americans have several distinctive accents (N.Y., Boston, Texan, etc.). In Canada, we have 3 or so distinctive (French, Maratimer and then the rest). My ...

So I got accused of having a "strong accent" the other day. P.S. Canadians all don't say "oot and aboot". (Although I do at times) what is "strong accent"? Something that is pleasant or unpleasant to ear, something very different to Posh english, something that sounds ...

Some of the above-stated points are so true and a great example of ignorance. If you are not used to the accent, a mistake can be made, but when people figure Russian/Hungarian, same thing, or that Kiwis and Aussies are the same (like us Canadians and our neighbours to the south) it gets to be a lit...

huh?

Absolutely not, I have yet to find one that will return calls.

If he is an absentee landlord, I doubt he would want the hassle of the rent commitee. These guys need to get clued in. If he did not read the fine print and the developer is sticking him with maintenance increases, that is tough shit for him. Not your problem. To get you out if you file a case would...

I didn't know they kept horses in the kitchen in 1974.

Your avatar looks fine over here.

Here is a list of answers I know for a fact (my brother and his wife had a premie 2 months ago as well as a difficult pregnancy) 1) Having the child here is no problem..top notch care 2) their doctor was stellar at Welcare Garhoud 3)x-ray can be deferred (if you "look" healthy, they won't ...

This is very intelllectualll!

I can't believe you spelled "intellectual" wrong. I second Ian's post.

Concs, are you serious or am I missing something? I can see that Black Lab that is you staring at me. I don't see a problem.

Maybe something with the forum? All the threads on my computer have that icon that indicates an update, even when there isn't.

And reviewer, your flashing push start reads loud and clear as well. Make sure Jizzin-Blow doesn't get in there and mindhump you.

Babydoll, your avatar is as stunning as ever.



I am using a Mac if that matters.

checking other computer here...no, no workie....there must be a cookie or Concord implant on this one.

I skipped it yesterday and it made me cranky-tits. Please have some entertaining thoughts here when I come back. Anyone feel like going to La Moda in the CNN building?
