His own neighboring council had the town planner "in bed" with the developers -all signed off and secure done to the rules and the "in bed " bit was not a figure of speach as she "was doing them all" and they got some real concessions in their planning permission - just a few extra floors here and there .


dude, I live in Australia. I don't have an artificial reef in my neighbourhood.

I suspect that ASR had to work very hard to secure this contract, and it was not sewn up from the start.

The cult of the "grommet bots' was invoked by a simple term -"show me you want this reef" its a quote from a web page sent to me invoking the "bots ' to collect money at street corners for them.

yes it is a "twilight zone ' story that is developing of how an acedemic planned "ten reefs in ten years , 100 in twenty" again from info sent to me - they were all to be patented ASR's with a 40% margin in each of them.

The virual empire existed for a while but all that exists now is the "bournemouth memorandum"


for that to be the case, the local surfer 'bots' would need to be influencing the local town planners. I think it is far more likely that ASR pitched the financial gains of increased local tourism to secure the contract.

I also tend to agree with you. You are, indeed, tripping.

Okay, we tried reasoning, we tried polite, we tried sarcasm, we tried just keeping in there until the bad man went away, but none of it worked, and still the little **** is banging on about something he may or may not have an ulterior motive about, but sure as **** aint about surfing, so perhaps its time to cut to the chase...

market_research, **** off.

It seems the reef is to be tweeked on a saturday morning soon?

"woolamai, christchurch says...
8:21pm Thu 8 Apr 10

Apparently the 'tweak' has been defined.

All that is needed is to rotate the reef anticlockwise 10 degrees and increase the width of the ramp along the ocean facing length of the reef by 10m or so.

ASR and the council are in final discussions about which weekend to make the changes."
