502068 2006-11-26 06:05:00 Your hail got here 25 minutes ago, Pyropete - belting down suddenly with no warning..

Huge hailstones that turned the road outside my house completely white in just a few minutes.
Those that hit me HURT. And it made a heckovadin on the roof.

There are some battered-looking new shoots in my garden.
And it stopped as quickly as it started.
I see the weatherman is now forecasting snow for tomorrow..

502069 2006-11-26 06:51:00 Hi Laura,

The hail didn't actually get to Oamaru until about 5:30 tonight, and when it did, it was accompanied by lightning/thunder which just kept on going... haven't seen a thunderstorm like it since I lived in Palmerston North (which is where I am moving back to at the end of this year incidentally).

As you said, the hail made the road white like it was snowing. Got a couple of photos but the batteries in the camera were going flat so only managed to get a few :annoyed: - they are here (www.imagef1.net.nz) and here (www.imagef1.net.nz)

Lovely and fine here now - virtually not a cloud in the sky!

Pete

There seems to be some law (as one who has studied in depth the topic of the arrival of PC World) that Mainlanders will get it first . Again I am proved right ! As a Jaffa I have not got mine yet :illogical:

Too true.

Yet there have been a couple of issues that have come very very early.
And other issues have come very late (eg: november issue).

One wonders whether the post system has somthing to do with it?

502075 2006-11-27 05:41:00 Hey all,

Just received my latest PC World today (actually yesterday - too busy watching 24 to write earlier :D ). There is a competition in it on the last page where you can txt to win a surround sound system. I thought I would try it (I usually don't txt for things) so sent the txt away and got a reply - "The code you txted is not recognised by this service". I checked to make sure that I had the right code and correct number - all checked out fine. Anyone else tried this yet?


Anyone get this to work, as i had the same problem

on vodafone if it helps

It may have something to do with the fact PC World gets printed in Christchurch. Course it may not. I just write the thing.:)
