If you ever watch the NZ news on telly it seems that with the whole world of interesting happenings they just gloss over those as quickly as they can so they can get to RUGBY (or what ever the current sport is)	tut (12033)

If you ever watch the NZ news on telly it seems that with the whole world of interesting happenings they just gloss over those as quickly as they can so they can get to RUGBY (or what ever the current sport is) We service folk (we are generally friendly types) who ask customers about the rugby have to be very careful how we phrase the question.... has to be non offensive and very PC! I used to ask..... "are you interested in the rugby"? If there was a negative answer I would then ask.... "then, how is the crochet work going"? or perhaps..."how do you like your broccoli cooked"? or even...."still not got that sticky channel button on your remote fixed yet"? Ken :cool:	kenj (9738)

1175216	2011-02-04 20:52:00	Great website John :) Just 2 questions. 1. I pick temperate location and February. There are two sections. "Planting in February for the New Zealand - temperate zone" and underneath "Preparing for March" What's the difference? 2. Take for example brocolli. If one plants in February it has a harvest date of April - May. But if one were to plant in April, the harvest date is May - June. Does this mean if we want a continual supply we need to keep planting them? Do they die off after a few months? 1. One involves digging and planting, the other involves sitting in the shade drinking beer and thinking about the garden. Plan B is the runaway favourite. 2. Wrestling with your digestive juices kills most plants. Garden plants should never die of old age, that is expressly reserved for weeds.	R2x1 (4628)
1175217	2011-02-04 21:12:00	I used to ask..... "are you interested in the rugby"? Perhaps that should be a requirement for all service personal to be trained in Ken instead of assuming you would know who the latest and greatest sports hero is. I dont blame them of course but it wold be nice to be asked if I liked sport before asked my opinion on the last play. I can talk at length on aviation, music and literature but when I bring those subjects up the conversation dies pretty quick so I full understand how they feel tut	tut (12033)

Buy a set of those cheap badminton rackets for the kids at xmas and teach them to swipe the white butterflies for practice. That should cure the holes. Lurking.	Lurking (218)
1175219	2011-02-04 21:20:00	Back in August I had a real conversation with a guy that went like this: Me: I kind of get Union (is that proper "Rugby"?) but what's league all about? Him: What don't you get about league" Me: Well, it seems to me that you get the ball and then run directly at the opposition's three nearest players. Him: That's about it really! Q.E.D.!! :groan:	tuiruru (12277)
1175220	2011-02-04 21:47:00	What gets me is International Rules. From the little I saw of one game, it seems to be an attempt to marry just about every code one can think of. Anybody care to define it (Intl Rules)? :waughh:	WalOne (4202)
1175221	2011-02-04 21:58:00	Buy a set of those cheap badminton rackets for the kids at xmas and teach them to swipe the white butterflies for practice. That should cure the holes. Lurking. Good sport that. A lot more difficult than it seems.	mikebartnz (21)
