Yes our Central Coast is a lovely spot keezoy
It’s always been my dream to visit Australia Swannie…
Welcome bro. Cricket and rugby fan? Or Aussie rules?
Meg I attempted to private message you but was disallowed. I have also attempted to message support several times but have been IGNORED. The crux of my complaint is that since registering two days ago I have gone from ACTIVATED member to GUEST… back and forth… logged in one minute inexplicably locked out the next. This is MOST frustrating.
Cricket…the Test variety… David. I’d prefer to watch my grass grow than watch Rugby… too stop/start… far too many rules and therefor penalties. I have been a devotee of the famous St George Rugby League club for more than 50 years. Since their glory days I have been a glutton for punishment.
What about you a soccer (football) man or perhaps league or rugger?

Dream on my friend. We are waiting. With this new Dreamliner it is only 16 flying hours to the west coast of Oz. When I visited UK/Europe back in 80s we had to endure something like 30 hours flying time.
Howdy Barry. Not been on much since registering as I keep being locked out of the site. ggrrrr.
HI again Swannie. I remember the days when the trans Pacific QANTAS flight was broken by a nice little pit stop in Honolulu and a leisurely arrival in San Francisco. Now it’s a non stop 14 hour drudge Sydney - LA. My first Sydney - London flight was Sydney - Singapore - Bahrain - Vienna - Amsterdam - London. That was great. I don’t mind flying but I don’t like being in the air non stop for a day and a half. Do you travel OS often?..Notwithstanding the present situation of course.
I have been absent due to having been locked out of the site… even tho I had been activated. grrrrrrr. Ever happened to you?
My last overseas holiday was to Thailand and Philippines about four years back. I also took that Sydney to London route… stopovers are hours sitting in airport waiting rooms… no thanks. Never been to the States. Probably never will now.
Hello Swannie 
To qualify to send and receive PMs you need to have been a member here for 3 months and to have made 25 posts.
This ruling was brought in to prevent people from joining and spamming other members a problem we have encountered in the past.
Regarding your other problems, you haven’t been ignored, this is the first we have heard about it. There doesn’t appear to be any problems our end and as you are posting now, I assume everything is alright now.
I hope you enjoy your time here on the forum
Not for me. Just Formula One.
Meg I have sent four messages to support over the past 2 days. Yes I am posting now. I was also posting and had been welcomed by you and other members shortly after being activated when suddenly I was unable to Log In. My password was not being accepted. I have since changed my password three times or is it four to access the site. I tried a personal password that too was rejected as was my effort to re register. I hope now I have no more probs as this looks a friendly forum and they are hard to find.
Like my son. He is Formula One mad.
I’m sorry to hear that Swannie but I’ve checked the Support section again and we have received no messages from you. 
Please ensure you are entering your password correctly re upper case and lower case letters as any mistake there would stop access to your account. We do not allow dual accounts so that is why your effort to rejoin under a different name was rejected.
I hope things will run smoothly for you now you are able to access the forum.
By the way, I’m Mags … Meg isn’t online at the moment
Thanks Mags so do I.
Hello and welcome Swannie.
I once mixed up Meg and Mags Swannie, now I double check, no more stupid digressions here.

Maybe its to do with being upside down Swannie??
Donkeyman!
