Today Im working. Oh and liaising with the taxman... that time of year and my first one as self-employed... urgh.
Greets chaps,
New guy here, and must say all the camaraderie and Christmas cheer in this joint is truly heartwarming.
Not that I really need much more warming, tbh.
It's a toasty 28C here (at 10pm), though with the end of the rainy season, it's likely to be sunny and not too humid on the morrow.
Plan to grab a few tinnies and spend the morning by the pool.
Been a while since I have seen any snow, so I'm very happy to live vicariously off your stories of meters deep drifts and icy hail storms!
Carry on, lads.
Ps. As I mentioned, new here and I can't seem to twig on to how to change my avatar.
Any pointers much appreciated.
@gurakn When I try to change it now, after a couple of previews, I can't either.

@mtk Ah, I see a note saying that you have to have a certain amount of posts in order to gain the priviledge of customizing your profile.
Seems a sensible move to keep bots/the rabble in check.
I guess I will just have to be patient and participate.
@gurakn Yeah, but that's not my problem. I think the minimum is 3 so you should be good to go.

Almost 100 Members! Exciting!
Quote of the day and funniest quote I've ever received during a match... Were playing CMRT and I'm attacking as the Russians...
"So far I have spotted two field mice and a pine cone that looks vaguely threatening."
From my opponent General Failure....
I laughed so hard.....
happy birthday Mr. Ted. 👍 I hope I live to be your age, my dear!
