coldturkey Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 substation - power? Ah yep, was just curious what you were doing there as I work out at the Edendale fonterra factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 oh OK. That was my first guess but really have no idea when it comes to electrical stuff! I work for AMS. Not sure if we are sending a team to Edendale this year. We'll have to try track down these tanks if we get time. Hayes is a bit more expensive than usual isn't it?! Spent 30$ on a single allen key there today!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 yeah sorry, power substation. hayes is a bit more expensive but at least you know theyll have one in stock. how big was the allen key! from memory theres cheaper ones in the bins under the bench where they are. we used to get a good deal through my old work.

flyingbrick Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 12mm...... and then i cut it in half as didn't want the bend. Hot chick at NZ courrrrRRriers depot. $330 in freight to send a few parrrRRRrts back to Hamilton made the allen key feel like a barrrRRrrrrgain.

flyingbrick Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 There is a takeaway shop somewhere up the northern end of the main drag, you'll know you're in the right place when you see the live crays in there.Pretty legit several years ago, report back plz. http://goo.gl/maps/BASa Went in for a cray... then decided we didn't want to spend that much so sat down to dinner in the resterant instead. Can't say it was the best meal we have had and we found the staff there kinda pushy and difficult to deal with. My workmate nearly lost his temper with the man there - we'd only had the menu for about a minute (not kidding) before he started pushing for a decision. Went to lonestar last night. God i love that place! Drank too much too quickly and had a good attempt at a large plate of ribs... couldn't quite finish the spuds at the bottom but blame the garlic bread that we had first! I'm so dam homestick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Go to the Kiln, get a shared lamb roast board if there's two of you. It's pretty damned nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I hear people winging about how cold it is here in hamilton... If i wasn't down with manflu (i blame invers) then i'd probably be outside in shorts, jandles and a T. Its tropical island spec compared to down there with you lot!!! unfortunately i think i may have to come back in a few weeks hahahahahhahaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_b Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 went for a walk before and thought that invers must be a mad party town and there must have been a mass riot or pub brawl with all the smashed glass on the ground, turns out its actually in the concrete for your foot paths, kind of dissapointed haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
