I haven't had an opportunity to view the forum over the weekend so I didn't know all this kerfuffle was going on.

Don't want to stir up trouble again but since I've been named I want to make it clear that I wasn't "bashing" anyone - I just didn't understand why that post got edited when there have been many other ebay type posts previously that passed without comment. Frankly, I also don't understand the policy against genuine forum members (i.e. non-vendors) alerting others to a good deal on something.

I think the mods do a good job overall and regret any impression that I have been unduly critical.

Okay, lets move on.

Yep - it's cricket talk - second only to football on the boredom rating...

They're gonna need a miracle on the fifth day.

Well, I suppose since the pommies stole our cricket academy idea, trained a lot of their players over here and have an Aussie coach we can probably claim we've still got one hand on the Ashes.

We're counting on you AMG as the sole SA representative (dubious honour though it is :p ).

We can then boast 4 states and a territory (would be 5 if BVD surfaced again so we could niggle at him until he cracked). :D

Speaking of States.......I've done a few laps of this forum, yet I can't recall us ever having a Taswegian on here? I wonder how many RX-8's reside on the Apple Isle?

Not to mention the need to tick off "dentist", among the professions -- we're looking a bit top heavy in Drs and IT bods at present (although lawyers count like dog years for these things )

I will let one cat out of the bag, and say that the 'official' Nats emblem includes a stylised map of Aust with no Tassie, and I [u]will[/] care about this omission as soon as one signs up and gives me a hard time :p

Exactly - I'm worth at least 7 IT people and mebbe 5 Drs. Or is it that each minute with me feels like an hour? :D :D :D

Well, it's worse. Instead of omitting it altogether there is a token dot, which is probably even more insulting. And just wait till you see what they've done to our flag! :D (hehehe - you just couldn't keep it quiet could you mate?)
