Raglan huh. Nice, surf's up! Place ,(like so many now, Piha, Bethels, Muriwai etc),is getting 'civilised'.

Yea, probably, but it's just a laugh really...her son and family live at Edgecumbe, near Whakatane. And her older brother is in Paihia, so we get around usually once a year. I could easily move there, but her 2 other kids are here in AUS. Cheers
Yeah, there is just a little bit of rivalry between the Islands. Stewart Islanders think of themselves as Kiwis but Chatham Islanders do not. Hell, even in the Land of Ork people on Waiheki don't consider themselves to be Orks, Neither do many on the North side of the mighty Waitamata.

Hemmjo, well, that may be for you, but the religious spin is really just a copout the the real problems facing America today, the lack of compulsory voting as a requirement of citizenship being the elephant in the room...but I will exit here with the politics, as firstly, this forum has always been nearly devoid of it and secondly, no forum will ever be capable of doing them justice in today's utterly unenlightened age. Nuff said, thank you for your contributions.
It’s funny; I occasionally pick up wrenches or sockets from the local pawn shop. Last time I was there, I found all of their 10mm sockets were missing, too!
10MM sockets are one of the most used sizes so I guess that's why they go missing.
