Good evening all. The red beacon that was my head has now dimmed somewhat and I am no longer having trouble with aircraft thinking it is a landing light.
Im having a bit of a problem with a drainage pump at the moment. The pit that contains my main pool pump, the filter and all the valves and switch gear has mysteriously been filling with water. All valves have been closed off and the pump dismounted and put on the bench. While dismantling it, three frogs hopped out of the motor cowling. I tried the pump on the bench after freeing it off but it still doesn't run. Do you think that the frogs were an integral part of the motor or just the drivers?

That sounds a bit like something from a Terry Pratchett book, Rod.
I've spent several minutes trying and failing to think of a suitable pun, but I'm sure there's one somewhere.

Good morning everyone - a bright sunny morning here today with a promise of 35C. I doubt that any of you saw it reported on the news but Aerosmith were due to perform here last night ($350 a ticket). Only problem was that the roof of the stage collapsed in high winds on Monday and the concert had to be cancelled. Yesterday evening, Santa Cruz seemed full of people wandering aimlessly. Rumour has it that there were visitors from all over Latin America who had planned their trips especially to catch this concert. What a shame, I hope they get their money back.

domonijo That's a shame. Whether you think that $350 is a reasonable price for a ticket or not it is certainly a lot of money for the average Bolivian where a normal salary is not much more than that for a months work. To have to wait 6 weeks for a refund (provided you bought the ticket officially) is really not acceptable.

Good morning all
