Hey yall,

Just wondering what the "User Groups" selection option at the top of the page is for. I notice "No Groups Exist" which seems a bit sad concidering the age of this forum. Can somebody please help?

I have no idea. Generally I haven't explored the forum options much, but I'm sure Steven can answer it for you.

[quote="Manukau heads observer"]good tip:
having the air conditioning on (do SI cars have that?) and the heater on at the same time is the fastest way to clear the inside of the windscreen

Yeah, with a cold car at 3am with 2 minutes to get to Ambo station... Doesn't matter in that situation.

What do you do, Gary? Do you have something to do with the Hydro Generators?
I have to make sure the JAFA's and dairy farmers get all the electricity.

The way they whinge about transmission lines, they don't deserve power!

Chuck a nuke plant in the Waikato and both Aucklanders and dairy farmers get the power they demand, and reduces the run loss in unsightly conductors!

Another nuke somewhere near Ashburton to feed Christchurch and the power-sucking dairy down here and we're all set.
