origin starts soon, best of luck to the blues, cause they are going to need it to beat us this year ...lol the third game is in melb i heard, i'll be stoked if it is.
Hi Veriann,
I take it that you are a Queenslander who has migrated south to Melboune? For those that are interested, origin, is The Rugby League State of Origin and is a fiercely fought Rugby contest, played over three games, between two eastern Australian states, Queensland vs New South Wales.
May the best team win, but I would like to point out that New South Wales has won the last 3 years...
yes herm, a mexican for sure these days. going on 7 years now, & i might add without pay tv rugby is shown at 2am . it drive me nuts.
the blues have had good a run as of late, considering we lost some big gunns on both sides, its been pretty even, tipical brisbane style though, when we do lose, we lose big, but its also the reverse when enoughs enough. i dont think we like the overall champ points in your favour as of last year, so its going to be a great battle. i think RB is up with our game, she has friends in our corner of the gobe.
sheesh, cut me alittle slack RB , cricket is popular here, but i find it soooooooo boring! u will never hear that word come out of my mouth, thats unless its indoor cricket, which is fast & fun
Has anyone tried the newspaper cleaning method on an acrylic tank? I dont think scratching would be an issue with the newspaper, but how dilute does the vinegar solution need to be to not haze the acrylic?
thanks gwen. I actually tried the 25% vinegar on a corner spot on the cover of my acrylic to see what would happen, and it was fine. the solution cleans very well. i am not too sure about the newspaper though, it didnt seem to absorb the cleaner very well, it just spread it around alot. i found that a paper towel was easier.
yeah, that was another thing, even though the newspaper seems pretty soft, I had an uneasy feeling about rubbing it against the acrylic. At least with acrylic scratches, you can usually buff them out.
i love the clarity of acrylic, but it is so hard to take care of. My next tank is going to be a starphire.
The newspaper is not as absorbent as a paper towel but I think this is part of the reason it shines so well. The trick is to use the minimum amount of liquid and then just keep rubbing until the tank is dry.
BTW, I don't know if it will scratch the acrylic or not.
