Just noticed (in the photo gallery) a picture of the Redferns house.I remember my parents attending the Gloss Auction when it finished.It had many bargains. They still have the matching lights shown at the top and bottom of the stairs in the photo. I am constantly reminded of Gloss every visit home :)

I take that to mean your next coffee maker will be so large as to require its own room.
Confession: I did download Google Sketchup .
:) Did the same for the computer. So many wires, so little space.

Good god! For real?
Yep, had to be blue.I guess it wasn't even considered inappropriate with only one male in the school though which was the Deputy Head. It was a year in which there were uniform issues and changes of regulations. The Principal left and a more liberal one replaced her, which I think helped a lot of the ridiculous Victorian attitude.

Typical
But you knew that, didn't you. -
I am very pleased that I never tried to get into Epsom Girls Grammar
It wasn't too bad. After the suggestion that I leave (from the Deputy Head, which I have no idea why ;) I moved onto Selwyn College which was great socially, (co-ed) but I quickly learnt that although 1 year up, I seemed to be repeating the syllabus from EGGS so of course that made life easy as there was now no thinking required, all one had to do was rewrite my work and I even received better grades.
EGGS turned out Helen Clark, Jeanette Fitzsimons , Karen Walker which indicates a diverse bunch methinks. I do remember the checking of regulation undies which I thought ( and consequently got detention for) was completely inappropriate and they didn't like hair colour (another disobedience detention)I happened to like green at the time :) In retrospect I am glad I got to go to both schools. -
@ Mark

BSOD This is Drunken Llama just after he got it done. He popped into the local to show us and quickly downed a Galbraiths Bitter and Twisted or was it a Resurrection? :)

Oh and a friend (works in IT) had (as a departing NZ ) a microsoft blue screen of death error message tatooed up his forearm. It ended up somewhere on youtube. Hope you are out there and well Drunken Llama :)
And also Phil Mattias. RIP -
A bad tattoo is like having a shitty haircut for the rest of your life.
Ended up with my first one (on arm)being what I considered not bad but badly done. So I went up to College hill and bitched to Phil Mattias. He knew the person who had done this and taught me lesson 1, that it isn't the place you go to but could be a particular artist and before long I was booked in for another at his shop. This one I designed myself. Got the ancestry thing going and took parts of an engraving found inside the pyramids in Mexico which I turned into an armband on the other arm, and lesson 2, armpit area aint much fun, I can tell you that for nothing .( I would post a pic but haven't figured out how to so maybe later.) Then I think the bug set in and its a matter of "what next?" so stomach :) Let me just add here SHIT! Lesson number 3, I was informed that the central nerves area is friggin painful so Emma you may want to try the stomach. Got the Sun around my belly button. Lesson 4 is they don't do gold for a colour so it's reds a la yellow, but I like. I only have 3 on my back and that is basically , see no, speak no, hear no evil, (which I try to adopt as a general practice) and I don't get to see these very much but they are IMHO rather nice. Lesson 5 I got from these is, It took me ages before I realised I had a monkey on my back but took solace that, they were good ones
:) Haven't fixed the bad one yet but I will when I know what is right, but it is a good reminder of a drunket with 2 beautiful
friends.
