Well I've managed to survive 50 years on this planet. 25 in Middlesbrough and 25 in London and hopefully the next batch will be in New Zealand :)
Looking forward to emigrating in the autumn I will miss England, but lots of new gaming friends to make in New Zealand
cheers
Ian

Happy Birthday and good luck
I have been advised by some of our Welsh members that New Zealand sheep are generally betteer loking than Welsh ones, as lomg as you can put up with the accent :d
Happy birthday.
I don't want to worry you but I have lots of relatives in NZ. I don't talk to them much, 'cos they're bonkers.
I was pondering great old age and was thinking of some of the things I have said or thought that mark me as being aged:
"The new SPECAT Jaguar looks spiffy!"
"A female Prime Minister! This'll be an easy time."
"Wow! England won the World Cup. They'll be unbeatable next time."
"The Chieftain is a bit Russian looking to me. Not as good as the Centurion."
"There will never be a president worse than Reagan!"
"Disco! That'll never catch on."
"Spectrum ZX128. It doesn't get better than this!"
"Tony Blair! He looks like a used car salesman - not to be trusted."
"Will you shut up about 1966!"
Happy Birthday!
<:-P <:-P <:-P

Most New Zealanders use a different "F" word when referring to Aucklanders ;)
Usually they are referred to as a JAFA, Just another F'ing Aucklander

Happy Birthday <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P
A Jaffa is something else entirely "down our way!"

All the best people are! It is a well established fact that NZ ends just south of the Bombay Hills and just north of Albany :D
Dave, another JAFA
(currently in exile, though soon to be repatriated (hopefully!) :) )
Nice piece of propaganda there Kiwidave :)
As anyone south of the Bombays will tell you
"Can't beat Wellington on a good day" :)

Maybe so, but how many good days does Windy Wellington get? :P :D
Not been to Wellington yet, visited Palmerston North as a friend teaches at the university there. Seems a nice village ;)

With the Hurricanes and Phoenix and Blackcaps all doing well and playing in Wellington there have been quite a few good days lately :o 8)
Sandinista - If you ever make it down to Wellington and are looking for a (war) game I'm sure you'd be very welcome to join in one of ours.
