I see the pie problem. If π= C over d then as you know not all pies are created round. If the round pie becomes square then π= C over d will be very confusing to the pie gopher. It has been my experience that people that do the gophering in life are not always that brightest so she probably returns saying there was no pie because she has never been told about square pies. A bit of staff education is what is needed here. I think you will find that with a quite word in her ear you will get both round and square pies and a bit of how's your father behind the bus shelter.

As it is done in America then so too is it done in Tasmania. Gopher = Go for, i.e. the girl that goes for the pies.
We too have Wombats and I (along with most Canadians) also subscribe to the eating, rooting and leaving theory.

A gopher is the girl who goes for more pie? .. what sort of stupid do you think I am ?
Once they're out that door they're gone forever !

Id like to thank the Aussie group for your continued support of OSE. You guys are great customers. I dont want to step on any of the AU dealers toes, but I would like to help support one of the larger races this or next year. If you guys have ideas let me know?

Man I just started reading some of this thread. Glad I dont surf here often.

The Australian Model Power Boat Association annual national championships held April/May is the better option for national appreciation anything offered.
I'll locate the coordinators for 2013 and let you know.

However, do consider that Ive identified less than 1/3 the wallaby chasers here as part of that 'race or go-home' association ... your company name is already well known and appreciated within their FE fraternity.
I am the only member that association regularly offering crass comment inside this S+K thread, for example.

If you wish to sponsor the Australian contingent of visitors, posters, poofters and store customers to this exemplary site ... subsidize their store purchase delivery costs...it;s ridiculously high compared Asian alternatives

Ahhh I just picked up on why you're after square pies .... the ones I want are usually a bit squishy but warm in the middle.

damn, it's 247am. nite girls !

The link explains some of the differences between Aussies and Americans. I put it in as a link because it contains a lot of Aussie language so users beware

I could switch to a lesser expensive first class mail option, but than it would be even slower and more items would get lost.

I have to agree with the Doc about the cost of transporting goods from the USA to Oz. I use ebay a lot and even there the goods I buy come from Asia and it is the price of postage that is the reason I make that choice. I can only earn so much money in the short time I have left on this earth so if I can buy the exact same product in Asia for less money than I could in the USA then guess where I will buy? As an example I purchased a new Tamiya Mini Cooper R/C car off ebay and saved $33 by buying from Malaysia instead of the USA. The difference was the freight. The last boat I purchased from the USA cost more than $500 for freight and that was an outrigger. That was the point where I said never again. Sure I buy from the USA but it has to be at a competitive price for the exact same item. The prices in the USA are great but the shipping price stinks. We understand the shops have no control over that. We love to deal with you guys but get something done about the cost of shipping or it will hurt you all big time. America needs every sale it can get at this point in time so I hope the US postal service can get behind big and small business in the USA and offer their customers a better deal. Yes, Australia is small potatoes in the American economy but the world has many of little potatoes that add up to lots of $$$'s and jobs in the USA

$500???? What size boat was this? I could have shipped you five 35" monos for less than that cost.
