Thanks Dave and Shillelagh...hate to tell you this Dave, but if your sis is still in Paraparaumu (P'ram) they are on 'shakey sands' cause thats exactly what that town is built on-sand.Thats the worst thing for an earthquake. Still, Kapiti Island will shelter them from any tidalwave.

Can't fathom that blood thing unless its the Lancashire accent and the Government , quite rightly, don't want to risk Man.Utd blood entering our society...
