| 141011 | 2003-05-07 22:19:00 | OK Folks I just had to do it, you can get the files here www.oh-bugger.net.nz www.oh-bugger.net.nz what else can I say. |

| 141012 | 2003-05-07 23:22:00 | Someone I knew had as his start-up sound not a mere fart, but a sequence of belches, farts, grumbles and mutters, courtesy of the late lamented Major Denis Bloodnok of the Goon Show. It finished "Gad that's better!" Argus |

| 141013 | 2003-05-08 03:55:00 | You can get that one called "Oh, that's better" plus lots more from: http://bloodnok.net/ Just scroll down the pageto find it. If you decide to play it directly with Media Player it may buffer and stall, if so, just click the WMP play button again. More Goon sounds here: www.alphalink.com.au I just couldnt resist downloading all these when I was giving Tim Tang (TimC) the send up with fake chinese sounds and Ying Tong Idle I Po. He complained to robo that I was racist and that I knew he was Chinese :) |

| 141014 | 2003-05-08 04:44:00 | I don't remember that! Must have drunk too much homework lately (my son is making a wearable item out of beer cans for a school project so I drink homework instead of beer now). BTW, check this out, it's great. http://www.buydehydratedwater.com The FAQ page includes such gems as: "Is your dehydrated water fresh or from concentrate?" Response: Our dehydrated water is always fresh and never from concentrate. "Is it necessary to rehydrate your product before use, like any other product?" Response: It depends on how you choose to use the product. If you wish to consume it, you must rehydrate the dehydrated water first. "Can I stretch out my 50 gallon package of dehydrated water by mixing it with 70 gallons of water?" Response: C'mon, don't be cheap. It only costs $4.95 per 50 gallons. Just buy another one. Besides, there is nothing worse than the taste of diluted water. I am negotiating for the NZ franchise as we speak. robo. |

| 141016 | 2003-05-08 05:54:00 | Thats a great site robbo. the thing I couldnt find though was a sound of de-hy water being poured into a glass. It would be really good for tramping, think of the weight saving, but there would be a problem with it re-hydrating de-hy food. Perhaps I should email them to ask how to do that. |

| 141017 | 2003-05-08 06:19:00 | Think of the saving in delivery costs of dehydrated water? And your water bottle could be so much smaller? They should use dehydrated water on commercial aircraft too. Also, no mess when you spill it. I believe they have discovered vast deposits of the stuff in the Sahara and Death Valley. robo. |

| 141018 | 2003-05-08 06:30:00 | There is this problem with temperature though. If it's cooled slowly then there is a tendency for it to re-hydrate and condense out. So for use in tramping like climbing a mountain, you dont want a large volume of water to form as the temperature drops, it would be much better for it to be rapidly freeze dried first to prevent that happening. Back to the loony bin:) |

| 141020 | 2003-05-08 06:55:00 | OMG, what an idiot!!!! How could I forget? It just shows how my brain cells are dying off. When I worked at the English Electric Company we used to produce tons and tons of the stuff, and it was really super super de-hydrated water too. We used to put some additives in the feedstock like hydrazine and soda? cant remember now, but at the end of the process we had this stuff (wasserstoff in Deutsch) that we called SUPER HEATED STEAM, absolutely dry as a bone, and TOTALLY INVISIBLE. One day I had the chairman of the company Lord Nelson of Stafford otherwise known as Half Nelson because he was the son of the first one, come to look at my steam lubricated bearing rig. It was a great honour I was the only one he had time to visit during his meeting at the development labs. Unbeknown to me there was this jet of de-hydrated water issuing from the rig, and it went up his jacket sleeve. It must have been a memorable event for him, because in the next annual report, my project was the only mentioned in the R&D activities section. |
