146169 2003-05-21 11:47:00 > The real story, as I've heard it, and this is why John and the rest of em down there are having it bad is . . . . that they're getting prepared for a bit of cable snipping just to let you know it can/wil be done if you buggers down there don't get those lakes filled, fast .

The trouble is that you buggers up there keep draining the Mainland of its power, people, road tax, and one of my daughters (sob) . The north seems to be a bottomless pit into which all the country's resources get re-located . . .

Still, to paraphrase what Muldoon once said about Kiwis emigrating to Oz - the migration of Mainlanders north raises the average intelligent quotient of both places!

> And there will be no saving your connections if the Blues get spanked this weekend . You'll see .

I believe you - we will have both the capital and the north against us for spanking the 'Canes and the Blues! That means the combined might of the political capital and the commercial capital against us . Still, that combination is how they managed to take all our road taxes to pour into Orcland's mess . We are used to it by now! Grump, grump .

146170 2003-05-21 11:49:00 Um, that should have read "intelligence quotient". Kind of destroys the point to make a "Blue" like that eh? John H (8)
146171 2003-05-21 12:30:00 Just you Southerners stop a moment and think clearly.
If all the taxes the government collected from Auckland was spent here every other part of the country would be in a sorry mess.

Anyway, about Paradise - it has been very patchy today, sometimes almost instant connection for email and other times no go at all.

Steve.. my notifications are delayed as well, but my email is going through registerdirects servers NOT paradises. I think the delay is likely part of the ongoing PF1 server problems.

146173 2003-05-21 21:21:00 Instant connection to Paradise this am. Like it used to be. Maybe all those people slotted into the server are making some difference after all. Are they all pedalling frantically? Are they doing what robo suggested? Wot are they doing? This cries out for a graphic artist. John H (8)

It was that Ozzie bleeda Marshal that cost the Canes. Unfortunately I think he heard me yelling at him from up here beacause, the more I yelled the worse he got. Never could get away with dissing the ref :( When he left for home the intellegence of all 3 islands went up.

Another correction for you:
It's Dorkland not Orcland. Rolls off the tongue better as well, don't you think.
Althought they reside here (Welly) for much of the year (or should, h down & a up in their little offices) most of the politicians come from places north of both of us. I propose that we emphasise the trend a little, the Kermadec's being as good a place as any for their particular talents.

Yes indeed. "Authorising" flashed through. Hope it is all fixed now.

I was at "Barrymore" last night.The "Dorkland" joke is definitely catching on internationally.
*Clueless was born and raised in South Dorkland*

Its good to see that the E-mail thing is sorting itself. At least the actual connection speed and reliability hasn't suffered!
