"Free at last, free at last, praise God Almighty, free at last!"

Whilst not even close to an escape from racial oppression, I have finally managed to escape the clutches of the English weather and made it back to Middle-earth (aka New Zealand)!

It's great to be home, and all I need to now is buy a car, and find somewhere live. Already have a job and gaming club sorted :D

The downside is that here I'm just plain Dave.....

Just in time for winter, good luck.

Having said that still 24 degrees C, bright & sunny in South Australia.

Welcome back to the proper hemisphere.

Cheers

Always good to return to one's homeland "plain" Dave - particularly with a new set of "eyes".

Well you'll have to be known as 'English Dave' from now on :D ;). Glad you made it back home and good luck for the future.

Best of luck, Matey.

I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Good luck Dave!  Sent from a balmy Suffolk, sunny, clear blue skies, still 14 degrees at 1900 hours, a chilled Sauvignon Blanc slipping down a treat. I feel so sorry for you!  :D :D ;)

Cheers chaps :)

I'm in Auckland, but we had rain yesterday evening. Still warmer here than the UK!

I could call myself "The gamer formerly known as Kiwidave" ... :D

Do you mean JafaDave? Coz I am a JAFA and proud :)

I'd assumed Sandinista meant Just Another F'ing Dave though I may well be wrong!

You are correct but the second a is for Aucklander....i.e. one who lives north of the Bombay hills ( the ones in NZ not India ☺)

I was suggesting that Sandinista might be replacing "Aucklander" with "Dave" ... there being so many Daves around obviously :)

JAFD ... not to be confused with JAFA ... nor JAFFA

My name often gets shortened to JAFO, and you really don't want to be mistaken for me ;D ;D
