I don't carry a flamethrower up my trunk as it were. :-) What you may need if you try the "baffle the customer with geek talk routine." is full body armour. Watch for this old tired grey looking guy with a deepfreeze under one arm and a woodchipper under the other arm. This guy has researched the Internet well before he walks into your shop so he will know if you try to pull a fast one.	Elephant (599)

220851	2004-03-09 06:32:00	Oh dear Laura, you missed some amazingly good posts and threads while getting to the actual facts, details and answers expected? during the best laugh a lot of us have had for a while. subjects covered were, Tardis machines, cows, maths, freezers, swimming pools, oh and quantum foam, and a dam fine woodchopper. :D i may have missed some items but no animal or item (human or otherwise ) was hurt in the writing of this thread.... :D the main names that come to mind are Godfather, Elephant, Winston001, Thomas, and a few others???? and me :8} sorry if i have missed any body out. im sorry i cant recall the name of the post but it had something to do with size of a freezer if i remember at all. :D and i dont remember who posted it either. it was a goodie. beetle	beetle (243)
220852	2004-03-09 06:55:00	Errkkkkkkkk. Just finished my steak, egg and chips dinner. Could have been a Bull for all I know. Does this make you feel better I hope???!!!! :-)	Elephant (599)
220853	2004-03-09 07:06:00	Well then Misty, You and I have had good service both from Mitre10. I went into Mitre10 in Tokoroa this afternoon and wanted three or four items. One in particular was a sprinkler. I mentioned that I had seen this sprinkler in a Mitre10 store in Wellington and the salesperson said that "We can't get those anymore even though they were popular." She also pointed us to a different sprinkler with a good brand name. We bought this and I plugged into the hose and it worked. This salesperson had a good attitude and we walked out happy.

220854	2004-03-09 07:25:00	I have no preferences for cow/bull when eating steak. (Such ideas make one consider personalities of animals. Too much of that & vegetarianism starts raising its head. I am a devout carnivore with no wish to change - so far at least) But Beetle's post tells me I need to search the archives for the background to this bovine pre-occupation. I will follow her advice	Laura (43)

Not many of those > about, I fear . > I also like people whom listen or read . Laura . . . . I just have to say that you obviously read . That post had me confused as well my not relative . :-) With a little luck my post may well confuse others!!! :-)	Elephant (599)
220856	2004-03-09 07:52:00	Steak and eggs? Thats merely a day's work for a chicken, but a lifetime commitment for the cow (or bull). Unless we see some amputee cows around that is ...	godfather (25)

Once again I have to agree with you . There again I try to use a WHOLE cow during my menu . Not all at once I might add . :-)	Elephant (599)
220858	2004-03-09 08:26:00	Your menu? Are you supplying recipes then? Jamie Oliver rides again... Or are you more of a Graeme Kerr? Or even - dare I say - our Dunedin-raised & well-beloved Alison Holst?	Laura (43)
