Hi everybody, :-DI am brand new in here and am looking forward to sharing some thoughts and ideas and discussions with all you people. I will give a West Australian view 
on things as my only over seas experience is fishing over at Rottnest (About 12km or 8 mile off the West Aust coast). Cheers everybody.
Hello and welcome to the forum John, enjoy
Thanks Wrinkly, I spend a lot of time at my computer, and claim it is Anti-Alzheimer’s therapy. When people tell me to get off my Bum and get outside I say, “Sure, as soon as I have finished my treatment”.
Good morning John matey and welcome.
Welcome John.
Hello Uncle Joe and Alan, you guys must be just getting up and it is 4pm over here (Beer O’clock). I see you are getting some decent summer days, and we are freezing with the temperature getting down to 20-25 degrees celsius (70-75F) in the old change. Don’t laugh we are spoilt up here on the North West coast of Aus.
Hello John - welcome from Pats 
Hello John 
welcome, I look forward to chatting with you.
WOW, Pats and Meg, I have been on a lot of forums over the years but never a welcome like this afternoon. I could almost forgive you all for taking the first test off us. Did you notice the critical word ? (Almost) He, He, He.
John matey, looks like we’re about to take the second test off your guys too following their batting collapse yesterday.
Yeh Joe, our Aussies are in a mess. Micky Arthur the South African was a very bad decision for a coach. Him sending Watson home for not doing his homework, and suspending Warner for tickling that Pommy bloke up in the pub started the rot. I reckon we still have the talent, just not the mental stability. All I can say is there is still another 3 games after this one, so get ready for a surprise , I hope.
Welcome from me too. :-D:-D

Hello John a warm welcome to the forum …
:-D:041:Good morning to you Simmo and welcome to the forum:038:, think you’ll enjoy posting 
and there a couple of other Aussies on here too so you should feel at home. We call this summer,cos it reached between 25/30c you call it winter. Do you have heating, my friend in Qld says when it’s cold they shut the door and really cold close the windows??.
A very warm welcome to you John.
Ok I have tried about 4 times to add a photo but keep getting told the download failed, any suggestions?
If its for the avatar, it could be that its too big. It gives the maximum size where it says Custom Avatar. Hope that’s helpful.
I use Photobucket to put my pic on first and then edit it make it smaller.
John matey, I would suspect your photos are far too large for the forum to cope with, you’ll need to down-size them.
Welcome to the forum John. No advice about photos from me though - I’m no good at it 
but someone will be along to help, I have no doubt.
There! what did I say? I hadn’t even finished posting and voila!
