Serves them right!

New species of fish has been developed.

Called "Gagging Pirana".

They are now vegitarians.
No sharp teeth, only large molars.

My spell checur spells "pirana", piranha. The "ha" at the end is very
important. It's the sound you hear as they swim away.

Now that's really strange.

I hardly ever use a spell cheker(ur)(a)(or)(um) but on this word I
did. It shows pirana and down lower(ur) it shows piranha, (which I
missed) Upon your note, I looked up pirana in the dictionary and
there's no listing.

So now I wonder(ur) why pirana is in the spell checker(ur)(a)(or)(um),
at all.

Maybe they just want to make bad spellers feel good.

I'm not usually a bad speller. I did spell "Connecticut" wrong once.
And I'm always tempted to put the "r" in words like "wash" and
"Washington". :)

I'm always tend to think of BS when I think of Washington.

Update on the drama with my system. The company has agreed to
replace the DSC pirs with Bosch Tritech units (They also call them
blue line). The bad news ... they cost a lot more. Even if they are
not charging me labour, its still working out to an additional
AUD$660, thats 6 units in total. As expected, the family are not
supporting me on this one. Yes, I did complain and kick up a fuss,
but they are standing firm on the fact that they are only charging
me the difference in the cost of my originals and the new units.
What I can't figure out is, pirs in general seem to cost a lot more
here in Aus than say in the US or UK. I took a look at Bass's
online store... for 6 units, without shipping, it's still only a
third of what I am spending here...

That is common practice in the alarm industry, Eddy. I get a lot of
flak here for offering hardware at prices slightly above installer
cost. You can order Bosch sensors online from a number of sources,
including www.BassBurglarAlarms.com but we don't accept credit card
orders unless the card has a US address. This cuts down on fraud
which is a major problem for online vendors. We do ship overseas
though.
