They're only playing the Kiwi's, so they had to pick a 'fair' side.

That was just my pick - no clue what the actual side will be.

I see Macca got a win down in Vic yesterday, good bloke Dave - nice work keeping Robbie out of it !!

haha - VB was the only Aussie beer in a can I could think of that I would actually consider drinking. I'd rather a Coopers. Mmmmm Coopers!

Cycling for once has some decent recoginition in the press. 5 world champions in 2004 seems to have grabbed the attention of the public. There are three cyclists and two triathletes up for the 2004 Halberg Awards (NZ's main sports awards.)

What's not good is the weather in NZ at the moment though. I live 10 mins from a good surf beach, and the sea temperature hasn't risen much above 15C when it would normally be 18 or 19C at this time of the year. I want my summer! Stuff the farmers who are saving 10K a month in irrigation costs, bring on the heat!

Great bloke.

I thought Kiwis only stuffed the sheep?

damn...i've got the perfect jpeg to go here from a fancy dress ball....but it's too big to load

hitchy

Resize it in Photoshop.

...that would be possible, I s'pose.....if i had any idea what you were talking about!

Hitchy

I'll PM you my email address. If you can mail it to me, I'll resize it AND host it for you so you only have to link to it.

did you get it?....I keep getting messages saying my SMTP server is not responding (whatever the fark that is?)

Hitchy

Hey guys, looks like Hitchy got some on new year's eve after all!

well thats what happens when you go to a kiwi NYE party!....(the state I was in anything coulda happened)

Hitchy

Will that be on next year's Chrissy cards?

actually its a preview of the new kiwi postage stamp!

Here's the official word:

"Officially there isn't a tandem class (I don't think there would be enough entries to justify it). However I am happy for you to race on a tandem. Therefore you would not be eligible for any of the Category prizes. However you could still win spot prizes!"

Translation: If you show up, we'll take your money.

whatever happened to the Kiwi thread??

Give us a fair go ! weve only got one 'puter between us !

That Apple IIe must be getting a bit tired by now....

The official answer goes like this:

"Gday, the site is a second hand site. meaning that everything on the site is second hand. If we do have new items placed on the site then we say they are new in the description of the item.

We are in the process of putting a star rating on each item ( 5star being new, 4 star being exellent condition etc) this will happen within the next week. "

I'm with Ed on the clothing issue, although I got the impression that some of the items marked "Manufacturer" would be direct from the manufacturer. For now I think I'll wait for the stars.

Commadore as it happens,needs another bottle of gas tho.

Nah, it should have plenty of life left in it.

My Microbee is still hanging in there

Ewe musta been pissed thats the ugliest sheep Ive seen for a while , there musta been better lookers than that there , that one looks like a hooker !

I've looked a bit closer at this mob and Mikkelee (the beanpole in MG-ZT gear on the homepage...nothing like a bit of self-promotion) is one of the guys who set it up with Paul Richards. I used to work with him at TFM.....he's a good kid.

All that stuff is the genuine article, so I don't think items that will suit my porcine frame will ever appear....get used to seeing lots of S and M sized items.

What's the old joke again....

Q: How do Kiwis find their sheep in the long grass?
A: Delightful.
