FormicaLinoleum Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Seeinf how I had never heard of the maoris before this thread, my question was about how widespread the "maoris menace" was to the "pet" lambs. Not about the NZ lamb industry in general. I guess only a NZer can really address this, but I don't imagine that Maoris in general have a tendency to steal people's pet lambs, but rather that the person who stole Jza's lamb just happened to be Maori. That's just my guess, and I'm really just addressing your question because no one else has yet, not because I'm in any way knowledgeable about NZ, lambs, or Maoris.

Guest Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 maori's are rather adept at theft and are many time more likely to have a criminal charge it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarz Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Jza - but are they many more times more likely to steal a lamb? Where did they steal your lamb from? Would is still have been your pet once it became a sheep? What was your lamb called? Larry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xar Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 maori's are rather adept at theft and are many time more likely to have a criminal charge itThey are also the best rugby players in the world.ireland isnt cold! the south western corner is one of the warmest places in the british isles as its on the head of the gulf stream!Hot/cold is highly personal... I think it's too cold in Sacramento in the winter (most people would love the climate here), that's why I'm planning on moving to San Diego.However, Ireland is really beautiful. I really enjoyed Connemara and Galway. Plus meeting other people of Norman ancestry was a bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarz Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 If I do go over to Ireland in the summer, it's to a place called Tullow, not far from Dublin. Very historic: http://www.southeastireland.com/content.asp?id=66 http://www.carlowtourism.com/mtullow.html http://www.cherrygroveireland.com/history1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compassionategirl Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 Maybe after the wedding we can jog over from Ireland to Scotland and crash a party over at Jonathan and Kathryn's place. Think they'd mind a visit from us and us sleeping on their couch? On the second thought, if Jonathan cant handle our online flirtation, how is he gonna handle Tarz and Compash together in the flesh smack in the middle of his living room?

I was on the phone as nicely as possible trying to explain the USPS (United States Postal Service) operator who was telling me they were trying to delivery a package my company sent to a customer that Singapore was not even near Sierra Leone (it's destination). After several minutes I about lost my patience, and explained (more loudly and slowly, so as to help him understand) that they were on the wrong continent! Arrrg!!! Oh, wait.....I'm an American....HEY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarz Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 So did the package go Singapore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSiren Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 So did the package go Singapore? It was bound for Sierre Leone and the were trying to deliver it to Singapore (the US operator didn't understand the difference). Anyway, the Postal Service in Singapore wrote on the package that it was shipped to the wrong country and to forward it to Sierra Leone. Then US gets hold of it and delivers it back to me telling me it was in "insufficent address". "Hello...your in the wrong COUNTRY!", so now I fight with the US postmaster to get my money back on a package they failed to deliver. It actually worked out to my benefit. The customer ordered the wrong size and the package was shipped before he had contacted us to correct it. So I sent out his replacement in the new size.

Dunno how anyone can confuse Sierra Leone with Singapore, not as if you could even confuse the names. But how did the US postal service intercept it in transit between Singapore and Sierra Leone?? Normally there is nothing a national postal service can do once a package/letter is sent overseas until it is returned to the country of origin for whatever reason. A courier ( UPS, TNT, DHL etc ) on the other hand can intercept. Glad it worked out for you in the end though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Dever Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Ireland is #1 on my list of places I want to visit. Most of the places I've visited have been in Asia, so I'd like to visit more of Europe. Ireland is definitely first though if I have a choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
