Bob McSkimming contemplating square roots

Our friend Daryl has left us to go back to the trucks at Fulton Hogan. Thanks Dazza and hooroo.

His place has been taken by Bob McSkimming, Dunedin man and ex-accountant. We are somewhat overawed by Bob’s qualifications  and are ready to admit he’s the closest thing we have to a brain on the place.

As a result there are some long pauses at smoke while we all try to think of something intelligent to say to Bob. After a particularly painful silence yesterday, the Proprietor-smart-arsed as usual – blurted out “Okay  Bob, what’s the square root of 5,7618.05?”

To our astonishment Bob know the answer. None of us, however, can  remember what is was.
