I can see that you're great at shmoozing Jochicho As soon as i find out, I'll let you know. Actually, it woudl probably be a good idea, if you reminded me in a couple of weeks
Good point. I don't imagine that direct water spray would reach the footrest though, so might not be a problem
Hi Southies, Since I have only been in Oz for 8 years and English is not my 1st language i had to google "shmoozing" to find out exaclty what it meant and this is what I found (to my huge embarassment to find out that I come across like this):
schmooze or schmoose also shmooze (shmz) Slang v.intr.
To converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.
to converse informally : chat ; also : to chat in a friendly and persuasive manner especially so as to gain favor, business, or connections
These ones don't make it sound as bad...

Sorry if I have come accross the wrong way , I try to contribute to this forum as much as possible as I have learned heaps from all of you guys and have found it great support but I guess sometimes I am a bit shy on giving advice or strong opinions as I am really new at all this (this will be our 1st home, yep, and builing, very crazy!) and not sure that I will add all that much value.
