      @hectic:

      I was at the Microsoft campus in Reading today, I don't do smart hardly ever but I was quite pleased with what I assembled. The receptionist was snippy so I wrote "Do No Evil" in piss on one of the cubicle floors (Disclaimer: Not true):

      looking good hectic . . . so where did you write 'do no evil'?

                90% of our furniture came from Ikea.. and 100% of it was assembled my myself. :-\

                just be careful. they do not provide extra parts. 😠

                  I'm ok with the parts, it's the sucky tools that I have that are killing me.

                  My screw drivers were stripping the screws that Ikea uses and I also purchased a center island that came with a tiny screw driver that I had been using but it has put a large blister in the palm of my hand so I thought I would gift myself a brand new Ryobi (black and flourescent yellow/green) which has  my build time.

                    Sounds like my house.  I've become an assembly expert over the years, and a decent screwdriver and a couple of hex drivers are the key.  Oh yeah, and a rubber mallet is really useful, too.  Those damn wood pegs are such a hassle.

                            Just ordered some 2006 Syrah, Côte-Rôtie, Les Bécasses, Michel Chapoutier

                            (and some 2007 Ribera del Duero Torresilo, Cillar de Silos;  2000 Tokaji Aszu , Oremus, 5 puttonyos;  2009 Riesling Auslese, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, J.J. Prüm, Mosel;  2007 Marsanne, St-Joseph, Les Oliviers, Ferraton Père et Fils  and  2006 Pinot Noir Nuits-St Georges, Clos de la Maréchale, 1er Cru, J.F Mugnier)

                            so will give you my thoughts once I've sobered up . . .

                            Jesus Harry Christ on a bike…how much booze?! Your scottish doctors obviously have some kick-ass dietary advice...ours are all "fruit, vegetables, no salt, no sugar..." an all that crap. All I can say Geo is enjoy...especially the Cote Rotie and the Nuits-St-George....

                                Stever- we're pretty lucky here in NZ there is water everywhere. You never more than 5 min drive to the nearest beach

                                Beats- it feels like it, I just keep saying " well if I am doing this I may as well do that" helps that my best mate is the builder and doing at cost.  I just decided that I want to pull my deck out as far as council will let me so I can fish from it.

                                      I am in Auckland [upper north island] nelson [very top of south island]. Nelson is a stunning city, you think that view is nice they have the water on one side and a national forest on the other with Snow rivers running in between.

                                      G yep that's my goal to cast a line from my deck and catch something. There is a public walk/cyclist path in between but if I am high enough…......
