Hi boys, I am Madagascar trying to connect. Wish you all the best and will try to come back soon with a few pictures to give you the taste of Nosy Be. Regards, Patrice

Jon, sounds like a wine to gift but not drink.

At school I played the usuals; football and rugby. I was enthusiastic but pretty terrible. Also had to play cricket in the summer, you americans should be glad you don't play it, it sucks; complicated rules and very boring. I did a bit of climbing and abseiling later on and got quite into that, would like to take it up again. In my twenties I experimented with a gym membership but just found it boring but did do some kickboxing that I would also like to try again - not to batter people, just for fitness. For the past thirteen years I have been running a few miles every day religiously and entered a few local 10k races, I should join the local club and get more competitive, this thread may inspire me.

Thanks Craig, advise from an expert is always welcome. When I bought the Nolan helmet I was careful about the size and it fitted well .... snug as you say. Its a nice helmet which allows a bluetooth device for phone but a little heavy to town riding. Maybe okay on motor-ways though. On the 'training track', fortunately a new Furniture Store has opened just up the road from me with a large car park. It even has speed ramps! I've been going there in the evening 7-8pm getting used to things. Its dark at this time here but it is well lit. Oh! they also have security cameras and I'm now wondering if they are thinking that I might be casing the joint when they look at the videos in the morning

Happy birthday Susan. Sorry so late.

Too funny, the wobble is priceless.

Coen - If I knew how to program html sites , I would probably do that. Unfortunately, I don't have the knowlege, the software or (to be honest) the time to learn it all. Knowing flash was sort of a by-product of doing animated presentations - I learnt flash long before I knew you could also use it as a developer tool. I guess, like everything, it's a trade off - not having to pay a web developer vs. having a flash portfolio. I know it would be better, though, so it's on my long list of things I need to learn Thanks for the feedback! AJ

great job Jackson... your sleuth is unbeatable!

Aha... Well, thanks - at least for that very last line (now I can hope I'm not alone in the universe who does not understand it ).

Firefox 2.0.0.12 with some plugins/extensions (web developer toolbar i.e., could not live without it... )

Lol. My pool awareness keeps increasing... Anssi

Thanks Coen. I saw this today and thought it was appropriate for here: :egrin: [image: zie.jpg]

Firefox also does not load icons from time to time. We are dealing with it as we speak, solutions are beeing devised. Be patient.

Tina, he should just consider himself a lucky man to have YOU Mike

Seems to be working now. That Squidward is truly a great actor.

Many thanks for the return greetings, guys! Uh, Coen, have you moved here to the States? And to where?

Battlestar galactica on top of my list. I saw the old one as a child and those cylons used to scare the living sh*t out of me. The new series is great stuff and a lot more intriguing. Off course 24 and Prison break is always fun as the adrenaline levels keep high the whole time.

Yay! We've missed you man! Sometimes I wish there was a forum equivalent to the neighbourly wave- you know when you both leave for work at the same time, you can go years without ever actually speaking, but that little nod and wave can be all you need to start the day feeling good about the world. 30lbs lost huh? Amazing achievement- looking good in your avatar! In fact, maybe you were around here all along, we just couldn't see you!
