  1. Helen Clarke, Prime Minister of New Zulland, is rudely awoken at 4am by the telephone.

    "Hillen, its the Hilth Munister here. Sorry to bother you at this Hour but there is an emergency! I've just received word thet the Durex fectory en Auckland has burned to the ground. It is istimated the the entire New Zulland supply of condoms will be gone by the ind of the week.!!!"

    PM: "Shut - the economy wull niver be able to cope with all those unwanted babies - wi'll be ruined!"

    Hilth Munister: "We're going to hef to shup some in from...Brutain?..."

    PM: "No chence!! The Poms will have a field day on thus one!"

    Hilth Munister: "What about Australia ?"

    PM: "I'll call Kevin Rudd - tell hum we need one million condoms; Ten enches long and eight enches thuck! That way they'll continue to respect the all blacks!!"

    Three days later a delighted Hillen rushes out to open the boxes. She finds condoms; 10 unches long; 8 unches thuck, all coloured green and gold. With small writing on each one.........

  2. Much, much easier on the eyes mate! Thanks for proving me wrong when I said the old skin would not make a return appearence!

    That orange just plain hurt my eyes and the darkside skin looked unfinished to me. Whatever the skin the work you have put in is imence and greatly appreciated if just for the much faster load times the new servers have allowed.

    FF here so no major issues.

    Col.

  3. This is probably mentioned elsewhere, but perhaps deserves another post. If anyone is struggling with the new look, there's a 'classic' RWG version now available bottom left (it's just the default - hasn't been branded yet).

    Select 'RWG' Original.

    Be aware that not all features will necessarily be available with each look.

    For anyone having issues, give it a go.

    [EDIT: May be coming soon]

    THANK GOD! And "T" naturaly :) A bit bright but an improvment all the same. Any chance of a little blue where the white is?

    Col.

    EDIT: Well, it's sorta blue. Maybe just a little darker?

  4. Well? What does everybody realy think of the new look board? Here is your chance to have your say in a very unofficial poll.

    No one doubts for a minute the imense amount of forthought that undoubtly went into the new look and the huge task of porting everything over to the new version of IPB. It had to happen as support for the old version will cese soon enough so saying "It should have stayed as it was" or flameing the Admin is pointless let alone rude but what do you think of the new look and feel of your home in Repdom? This is just out of personal intrest and also due to the fact that we at RWG1.1 are going to have to do the same sooner or later but I'm shure that the Admin will take on board any constructive comments.

    Col.

  5. This is cool.

    Finally, change I can not only believe in, but embrace. Because it is real, not just a promise.

    Cheers T.

    I'm going to celebrate the new skin and my shallowness by going directly to the "Gentlemen's Lounge" and post a pic of a beautiful girl. K.

    Beat you to it Dems :) Hell, I even beat TT!

    @TT: you coming over to the Babes thread mate? You still have the best pics.

    Nice new build, I like the darkside. Are any other (GMT +10) Aussies out by +3 hours?

    Me too Bob.

    BTW, I don't appear to have you on the Aussie members list. Can you pop over to the GTG page and post on the Aussie list or drop me a PM? Name, location and email (kept private) would be greatly appreciated. Especialy if you are in Melb since there is a GTG there in a few weeks.

    Yep, I'm still not shure about the default skin. A bit too much for my old eyes but the darkside one is oke. Only problem is deciding if you're on RWG2 or RWI :)

    Admin: I am serious about you keeping notes. We are gunna pester you for advice when we do the UG to V3!

    Col.

  6. With all those new servers it damn well should be faster! Yes it is, the old one was by far the slowest of the boards for me.

    BTW, if the new skin is a bit much try the darkside skin. I doubt the old skin will return due to the imense headache of redoing it for IPB V3.

    Col.

  7. /me looks around

    WOW! Just a little different, From anything! :)

    Congrats on geting everything done so quickly. You exceeded my expectations time wise. Hope you kept notes for Greg_r and my self! We gotta go thru this early next year. Well done mate, now, go sleep!

    Col.

    PS, the bits, bytes and babes ain't empty anymore ;)

  8. Whoo Hoo! Another SEQLDer! Welcome mate. That makes at least four of us, OS who you just met, my self at Woodford and Danni_1 in the sunny coast hinterland. I reckon we have about enough for a GTG soon. Sydney first tho.

    If you havn't allready done so, click the link in my sig and add yourself to the Aussie GTG list.

    Regards, Col.

  9. Of cause there are lustworthy quartz watches! Here are my current wants:

    But especialy the grail quartz Seiko, the Vulcan, issued only to Vulcan aircrew. Very high EMF resistance and like all 7A38s accurate to 6sec a year:

    And the SNA411a:
