I was thinking along the lines of "this mortar coil' but couldn't work the app.

But a warning for the sainted Judy would be appropriate:
"Bailey, Bailey don't get hooked on me,
Cause I'lll just use you then I'll set your fee...." -

Thanks. The lemon curd is yum too.
Another southern delight: Pic's Really Good Peanut Butter (from Nelson I think).

Russell, commiserations about the back. The perils of the middle-aged good life.
I'm so pleased Mr Smoked Eggs has made it to the big smoke and is getting rave reviews; I met him at the Dunedin market last year and was convinced he had a winner. Another Dunedin find was Brandy Snap ice-cream, from a small Dunedin outfit whose name I cannot remember. Does anyone know; pleeease?
And Street Chant: what lovely young people. Which leads me to a recent traumatic event, only tangentially related, but I must unload. A person I have known all my life visited recently. This person is a member of one of the most boring professions on earth, and although well-intentioned and caring and possessor of probably every virtue known to man and woman, is a little dull. And always has been. The person sat on my couch wearing ironed jeans and the classic Ramones tshirt tucked into jeans and ironed. I still can't stop thinking about that image. I was dumbstruck, it was appalling.

Being raised a Roman Catholic (definitely capitalised), and having a racy priest who drove a Citroen Pallas in a tiny South Island village, we went to Sunday school on Friday nights.

Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to Fooman,
Excellent. I'm thinking similarly to krustacean (we're just inside the green zone) as we have had small amounts of liquefaction, so the potential must be there for greater amounts.
The first piece you refer to has this key phrase: "There are five design options to choose from using mainly reinforced concrete for new foundations and floors. However, more design options will be offered over time. A timber option is also available for lightly clad houses that are on certified pile systems. Other options can be developed from these generic plans for more complicated land/or building situations, or to achieve increased levels of performance in future earthquakes." Pressuring insurers and DBH /CCC should mean we can eventually be repaired in way that takes account of the new seismic activity in Christchurch.
We are content to not be among the first to be repaired.I want to wait at least a couple of years to see how the proposed repairs on our type of house perform. Having had the luxury of EQR make-safeing rendering our house liveable but unpretty, I'm prepared to see how it all pans out for others who are in more of a rush. I see no point having the house repaired then the insurer 'reviewing' cover levels, conditions and adding exclusions (like earthquakes).
