ok this is just for fun.
when Simply first started we did this and i convinced everyone the canadians were gonna outnumber the americans. well lately there have been alot of new members and we also now have id say at least 50 or more aussies. and lots of asians etc.
so..the race is on. lets see who our posters are.

06-24-2003, 09:07 AM
Ooops, I should have put a bit of aussie history in that map - heres a small piece about our all time favourite prime minister - Mr Bob Hawke:
Bob Hawke

Bob Hawke is a top Aussie. He was in politics and got to be Prime
Minister of Australia, which is like being the Queen's assistant. However, he is
not famous for this achievement. The reason he is famous is because he
was a champion beer drinker when he was young. In 1952 he won a beer
skulling competition at the University of Western Australia by skulling three
schooners in 9.3 seconds. Then in 1954 at Oxford he got a Guinness Book
World Record for skulling 2.5 pints in 12 seconds. After he finished skulling
up at uni he became President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions. He won
heaps of wage cases and Aussies loved him because they got more money
to spend on beer. Bob had to be chauffered around lots because half the time he
was too drunk to drive. After he finished skulling up at the ACTU, he
entered politics and ran the country for a while. Bob is Australia's favourite
politician and a drunk and he is a top Aussie.

Kerry

Rod
06-24-2003, 04:03 PM
LOL Kerry, i liked Bob too.

ok.what does canada have? well theres a song put out by the arrogant worms....called trees and rocks.
goes kinda like this.
we have trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees. and...WATER!!!!
etc etc.
so there you have all you need to know about canada.
oh and some of our trees are made into totem poles..and some are chewed down by beavers. and lots are floating in the rivers to make lumber.

April, I have a quick question regarding Vancouver (my apologies for going off topic!)

Are there good or interesting Discus supply shops in around downtown Vancouver? (If not, how far away do I have to drive?)

I'll be spending a few days in Vancouver and Victoria. If possible I'll try and fit in half a day of shopping for "something unique and interesting" about... Thanks in advance.

That is one great picture. Wished I was that creatively talented. :sun:

I still have 2fters, 3fters, and 4fters still in the Hill, will that be enough to store some of those :fish: in.................maybe we better leave April one or two. :)

Norton, ring around the islands and rake up votes, we might even outvote the whole US of A here. :thumbsup:

April, all the Aussie's are up and voting away while you are at work, hehehehehehehe, tides are turning now. :lurk:

I know Kerry, I have to keep going back and reading this post, I show everyone that visits, they have a good ole' chuckle too...................great advertisement on how Discus owners can have fun, hehehehehehe. :funny: :funny:

My other half keeps checking for updates when he comes home for lunch and throughout the night, lol. :inquisitive:

Serpae, i think you will need a few more tanks, but i have a couple of spares here. Remember, anything coming from Canada or US HAS to be quarantined for 6 months - so we have plenty of time. I hop poor Mr Betta makes it, hes used to calmer waters. But the tide has turned our way so he should be ok. I have great betta tanks here, all have heaters and airpumps so he'll be living in luxury instead of icy cold conditions in you know where!

I love old Bob Hawk too! and that Steve Irwin doll! omg I hope it has a pull back string and says stuff like "Crikey look at the size of that croc!" and Terry saying "Watch out Steve!" !!! ;D ;D ;D

The Mildura Zoo is up for sale, they are only asking 600 thousand (bargain) ::), I am sure they have lots of tanks.

Any one offering to buy it for me <<<on hands and knees grovelling>>>, how about you April, how about some off shore investements, they have quarantine facilities. Just think, you can duck into Oz anytime and put it down as travel expenses on your next tax return, lol. :o :idea2:

So Kerry, that could take care of lookin for more tanks, I am sure that we could put all the fighter's into the empty restaurant glasses, hehehehehe. :spit: (fish in my glass) lmao

How are those phone calls going there Chong, I am sure that Norton is busy phoning away in Kiwi land. :wave:

HEY TABZ, what ya doin!!!!!!!

April
06-25-2003, 08:42 PM
ok i can see i am gonna have to dig deeper into the backwoods of canada to get some more votes.
maybe theres an old growly bear somewhere who can vote.
i should never of included those kiwis in the aussie vote.
gee....wonder who are next door neighbours are? hmmmm
oh yeah.......usa. lol.
fairs fair isnt it? :o ::)
Last count Pascale had..back in the aussie 1 post..there were up to 40 aussies.
yeah i keep laughing also. scared to check when i come home. but....alas all is well. : )
oh and yes steve doll does say crikey etc. and shes a beaut!! and..there is also a terry doll. ::) ;D ;)
ok i will send my offshore investments to buy that zoo.
just let me go find my piggy bank. which is acutally a fishfood tin as disguise for badguys. whod look in a fishfood tin?
By golly looks like a new aussie just signed into simply...welcome brenton. are you here for the country vote?

April
06-25-2003, 08:53 PM
Keith . no problem going off topic.
When are you coming? im afraid you wont find any unique discus gifts in vancouver. you may find a few discus in lfs. nothing like you would over there im sure.
i heard but never saw..someone from taiwan had cd jewel cases that looked like discus. id love to find one of those...
we do have the public aqaurium though. nice amazon exhibits but no discus. think i need to change that.
or...there are my few discus here...and my friend herb has some in victoria. there is a new lfs who is importing from taiwan. not too bad for a lfs .
feel free to email me when your coming. if you need to find your way around....i will give you directions or what have you. you'll love vancouver and victoria.

Thanks for the reply, April, but it doesn't look like I will have enough time to look for Discus this time. I will be busy looking for a place to stay in Victoria!

I forgot about the Canada Day weekend and I was a bit shocked to find out Victoria hotels being quite a bit more expensive than those in Vancouver.

May be I will try my luck with Discus in Vancouver next time. Gotta go - heading out to airport now for my flight.

Aussies rule!!!

LOl Kerry. that was no fancy arrow....think im being stroked....so i wont go looking for more canucks to click.
glad someone has seen the thorn birds...one of my favourite novels.

oh...a new canadian signed on last night..think she may need a welcoming from one of the mods. lol.

you're not signing new people totally uninterested in fish just to mess with the poll results, are you April?? :o :o ;)

06-26-2003, 08:25 PM
no way david. they gotta be simply members and not wives or husbands who dont like discus at all. that hardly would be fair.

06-26-2003, 08:31 PM
oh....cos i was going to suggest I could contact the "canadian waterfowl who like to tie each other up with sticky tape"' ::) forum, and get them all to join and take the poll....that would pull us way ahead of the aussies ;D

April, doesnt matter who wins, this is great fun. We have probably all had our share of heartache over sick fish or whatever and this poll is good for a change. next poll should be
"Best Arrow"

Kerry

PS Im taking drastic measures today - im taking all the gravel out of my main discus tank - only have a tiny bit anyway for the cories but someone advised me they should be ok - i have a nice big piece of FLAT rock about 12 inches long i can put in for them lay on. I only have 2 live plants - ones on a piece of driftwood and the other ones weighed down with plant anchors - i always scrub the bottom of the tank anyway but i have to push the gravel around to get to it - its hardly worth having it in there for the small amount i have anyway.

yippy
06-26-2003, 09:38 PM

Nuh...........Picnic at Hanging Rock, now that was a good old timer Aussie blast from the past, hehehehehe. :book:

These picy's are getting better and better Kerry, how about next poll we have one on who is going to be Simplies, Simplies Artist, hehehehehehe...................I vote KERRY now!!!!!!! :gossip:

Glad you made it over her Davo, rake up some more voter's, since April and David are now hireing outsiders to vote, probably got paid adds in all there newspapers and on the :computer:now.........mmmmmmmmmmm..........anythin g to win, these Canucks, gotta watchem all the time. :lurk:

On that note, April you still herding the Aussie straglers over to Aussie Aussie Aussie, or are you waiting for this poll to finish, in fear that you's will get thrashed. :scared: :waaa:

Hey Kerry, having a plane bottom on that tank wont hurt the cories, you will probably find that there barbels will grow longer, as some substrate material will actually wear them down :vanish:. There constant moving on a BB will flick all debri back into the water and the filter will pick it up a lot easier. Anubial species, as well as Bolbitus are excellent for putting on wood, rock, and ornament works. :thumbsup:

Hey Lesley, did you post your proplem, if so, pop the link in the Aussie Aussie section so we can find it easier. ::) ::) ::)

Oi, who just voted for them there Canucks.........no fair :thumbsdown:

April
06-26-2003, 10:30 PM
Yeah..great fun. and no idea who just voted for the canucks. but cool..... 8)
ok...so i have a nice big arrow. lol.
well let me know how that bare bottom goes.

Maybe 500 miles as the crow tries to fly ... lol . To drive to 'Pril's it takes 10 hours non-stop - close to 700 miles as the road wanders through the valleys and over the mountains.
Lets see; I am at 6300 feet and April is at ~45 feet; above the ocean level.

Thanks, Lesley

will have to find out how high we are, I have a feeling that you will beat us, I think we are probably only about 4000 feet. (and we surely don't have bears in our back yard!)

Hi April,

lol. ;Dwhat side of the continent are you on??? Would have to go to the el nino pages to be sure again, but I think the ocean on the west coast of your continent is some inches below the Australian side!! ::)

Is that one for the Aussies, Kerry??

April
06-27-2003, 03:54 AM

Uncontrollable urge to hijack this thread…

We have a South Korean girl here, studying English language and staying with us at the moment. She’s asked me to dump some pics she took off her little pocket sony onto a CD today.

Here’s a quick selection from her pics around where we live…


1. That place where they put the pictures by those famous dead people.

Bass
06-28-2003, 03:07 AM
2. The view you’d get when lying on your back if your partner knocked you over for actually shopping at QVB centre in town…

Bass
06-28-2003, 03:08 AM
3. Another weird shaped thing…

Bass
06-28-2003, 03:10 AM
A clunky old harbour ferry pulling into circular quay… You can’t say you’ve been to Sydney unless you catch one over to Manly.

Bass
06-28-2003, 03:11 AM
4. I think they tried to get camels to jump through the eye of needles, or something, at this place. But it didn’t work, so now they do a fantastic show with donkeys and flaming hoops. <ducking for cover>

Bass
06-28-2003, 03:14 AM
Lastly and leastly… What a mess! The kitchen in my house.
On the far right you can just spot a BB tank of young Discoids, and next to them - the cosy glow of a 150w metal halide plant display tank which I’m taking forever to set up. Biotypical, you need to help me.

The best thing about my humble home is that we tiled the entire downstairs… No matter where the Discus get added, there’s no spillage worries.

The rest of the kitchen area, please disregard.. It’s embarrassing.

Yes April, But this is extremely rare for our winters!!!!!! And you know how inaccurate weather reporters are.

The weather patterns all around the globe seem to be changing lately.

Hey people,
Quite a few ossies on this site isn't there. I wonder how many are actually Kiwis though, as the two were combined. ;)
And yes the weather is crazy ,We just add our shortest day and have only just had our first real cold snap , still wearing shorts and a shirt though .Not bad considering its only a two and ahalf hour drive to the closest ski field. Not many places in the world were you can have a surf and a snowboard on the same day. 8)
Although its seems we have the worst and least amount of discus veriety here than anywhere else in the world. Hmmm Oz doesn't sound too bad at all considering . Naaa bugger that !! (lol) :P
Just a little ribbing from across the ditch .
But seriously how many Kiwis on this site , come on guys make a little noise for NZ.
Pauly.

Ps. Ive got family in oz so it cant be all bad.

April
06-29-2003, 12:44 AM
Hi Pauly. there are at least....6 kiwis that i know of. or maybe a few more
id say about 4 new ones signed on lately.
there is an aussie thread in discus locator section. perhaps start a kiwi thread there and see who you find. or there may be one post here: ( insert arrow ) http://forum.simplydiscus.com//index.php?board=18;action=messageindex
or.come over and visit the aussies in that thread.
most who clicked are aussies as they were all sent to click and i watch the whos online to see when i better get more canadian forces ready to click. ;D
here in vancouver we can ski on the mountain above the town or swim..down below. our weather is very mild . but higher up.snow. we just had our summer solstice . and everyone was dancing around with fire on the beaches all night. it stays light till 10 pm right now. : )
and boiling hot today. id say 28 celcius. everyone is melting here. 8)

Yippy. boy...was i tempted to just change that flag while i was setting the time. it wouldve been well worth it. lol. a nice red and white flag with a maple leaf. and just in time for canada day.
just for the record..right outside my house there is a huge aussie flag flying proudly from a backpackers hostile. so i see that nice blue flag everyday. here and coming home.

Good thing you spoke up Jim. The country was looking a little empty , out - your - way. lol.

The count is now 33 / 30.

Is there anybody out there, in Quebec ? .... Newfoundland ? .... New Brunswick ?

Smokey

07-04-2003, 09:26 AM
I know quite a few from Ottawa and Montreal who frequent the forum but too shy to post. I'll reserve them as the back up in case the Aussies are catching up. when is the race end? Only 30% of the Ontario member had signed in so far. The best is yet to come.

not sure.but the aussies arent doing their homework. three new members have signed on simply in two nights. all from nz or australia. they need to check and get them to do one little click. lol.

07-04-2003, 11:42 AM
April: Shooting for the Gold. If all Canucks start clicking in. I think we can even beat the home team. I'm pretty sure the Silver is ours. I have plans for the final race. We'll start bribing all Canucks to sign in. A free cull from my stock..... only one single eye, No fins and no gill plates. They have to pay for the shiping.;D

ok all you albertans....listen up. if you all moved to vancouver smokey wouldnt have any trouble placing the dot. as its the far south west corner. easy as pie to find the spot. why on earth would someone live in the middle of a land mass..when theres beaches and oceans and nice salt air to breathe. waves lapping..and seagulls crying.and whales spouting.and sea lions and starfish etc etc.
now get with the program!!! not to mention the nice north shore mountains as a backdrop... we have it all! lets face it.

shorthair
07-07-2003, 03:23 PM
Yes and you have smog, rust from the salt in the ocean, traffic jams, rain and more rain, High crime rates and from what I hear Discus have troubles living there ;D ;D ;) Besides why not live on the prairies and have West Nile and Monkey Pox from the Gophers to worry about!!

Smokey
07-07-2003, 04:03 PM
Lets see cattle; we got cattle with Mad cow disesae, being bitten by mosquites with West Nile virus, chased around by Monkey Pox Gophers. so what do we do , butcher the cattle and send them to the stores in B.C. Either that or to the French. Who needs S.A.R.S! [ we'll let the city folk have that one.].

We do have some of the most beautiful landscape, around.
Devin can stand atop a gopher mount, and to the west see me and my mountains; To the north - the geougous Northern Lights [ and the Calgary revolving tower], to the east - he can see ... well he can see EAST !!! Looking south - The mountains of Montana.
Yup, looking in any direction ... one can see the curvature of the earth. The sun before it rises.

God, it is so Isolated up you way ... they didn't figure it was worth building anymore road ... nobody wanted to any furtheR - they just turned around and came back to the good country..

Hi chris. and welcome. theres a few new zealand guys signing on lately.
i suggested you guys post in the locator section. so you can all find each other. so maybe you can start a thread there. theres at least 8 or 10 kiwis on our forum. maybe you can all swap fish or experiences with water or import togeather or what have you .

OUCH! Thats not quite true, roads keep going out to the oilsands plants... And in the winter we can drive all the way up to Fort Chippewyan (why one would want to is another matter... :D) I'm told if you really wanted to you could drive all the way to fort smith.

We have the original alberta desert up here :) (Not that one developing south of calgary) Sand dunes, cacti and the whole works!

The real reason to live up here; I probably make more $ as a blue collar under-educated schmuck than most 'suits' do in calgary (pretty sad when McDonalds up here starts at >10$/hr).

Now as for those B.C. Folks, well you got that communist government out there, the high taxes... Premiers Driving around drunk as a skunk... And all those wonderful government funded shooting ranges for crack addicts :P I think I'll stay in alberta!

I'll go put on my asbestos underwear... Oh wait, Thats right I'm usually covered in Nomex anyway! Fire away!

Nice job on the stick pins....Can you pull daniel, dave, and I a little farther south?? being so close to the water makes me nervous... ;D

07-08-2003, 11:26 PM
Does Frank Endine count? I have to call him if we're too close. Anybody knows who that Frank fellow is? April and Carrol probably remember him. ;D ;D ;D Have to pull him out the last minute. :-X :-X
Fish Fan-natic. You have to sign in again. You're not there.

LOL JImmy. yeah im sure FRank Endine oughta count!!
But i havent seen him around for quite some time. seems he doesnt like our forum . Jimmy..tell him its a great forum.
I think he lives on Endine road in toronto? think a snowplow truck ran him over about the same time simply started up? Jimmy....your a doctor.cant you revive him?
is he stored like chirogenics? think you just need to add high heat and salt and some hydrogen peroxide and maybe extra o2 and he will rise.

Fish_fin ...some thing is fishy here ... your are so qiet, nobody new your were stiil around.

don't fell too bad, there is a few orther's - who have not spoaking up yet. "EXECPT" those that feel the are ''incorrectly'' placed. Hey, i'm not a geology major. anything east, of were I live ' does not really exist. Well, except Newfoundland . spent some time there. Lovely island ... never had to go out for ice ... it just floated by.
So, where the hell is Missyaga?- lol.

An "pril - just whose side are you rooting for. I see you recruiting more aussies than Canuks.

The next map update, will be made if and only if I see a new vote. Come-on now, I know there are still more members out there.

Ps. - DK .. sorry the 'skitters must've dragged your pin up there.
