As long as it doesn't eat your cat.

What colour is your cat Krabo? I would like to picture it.

Those large animals are so adorable. Wish I had a pet, growing up. We weren't allowed, because my mother was terrified of dogs and other large animals. She used to hide behind us whenever we saw a large dog, when I was growing up. :lol:

NZ did have a lot of Scottish immigrants in the 19th century, particularly in the far south. They gave rise to names such as Dunedin and Invercargill, and the "Southland burr" accent in that part of the country. I had no idea that slater was a Scottish name, but if it is then that's probably why, at least in New Zealand's case. Don't know why it would appear in Australia, though: it was more influenced by the Irish, which is why Aussies say "haitch" for the letter H ? used to annoy me no end as a kid. Otherwise, both countries tend to copy the English.

Personally, I thought slaters were named because when you poked them with a stick they'd curl up into a ball and say "see you later!" ... or something like that. :roll:

Thanks Krabo.

Murihiku - 'haitch' used to drive me to despair too. Where I grew up (low socioeconomic area) a lot of people said it. :roll:

Today FINLAND - NEW ZEALAND in basketball world championship games! I'm not really into basketball but this one game I'm going to watch. It will start half an hour from now. Both teams must win if they wish to enter the play-offs.

Basketballs were originally tossed into bushel baskets nailed to the wall.

I have no idea how they got the ball out so that they could continue playing.

They slammed the bucket bottom with a baseball bat.

Edit: Oh, you said bushel basket. Well, they tore it open with a Bowie knife.

Edit Edit: Oh, bushel basket is wooden, not made of leather. Well, they resorted to an ax.

Good time to decide that a ship would be better.

Maybe a cruise.

I don't mind cruise ships so much, but that would be rather outside the budget dear Sylkat.
