after much moaning and whinging at me i have now restored the old board as the new one was too slow and i could not make it fast enough do not bother to moan about the lack of features on this board as features == slow at some point in the future this board will probably change again without notice happy new year! thanks to dex, cix, woody, paula, nix and mex for making it all the way here and making it a great new year - mucho funno was had by all

wow cheer grix, we did like be dragged into the 21st century, but being at hard luddites, we like this the best news ... am engaged to catharine ;-) its really hot here, my sun burn is flaking of, will soon be a mass of scabs

to Derek and Catharine. .. .. when is the big day?

So where did you pop the question? Can we have a blow by blow account please?

Well, it was on the second day of our trip in the mountains, the first day was fucking hot, i nearly killed us by taking us into the bush and climbing up this what seemed like a wee mountain but as it had no cover it was really hot, i then nearly got us lost, so i was going to ask her then but decided that as she was really annoyed with me and the flies were really getting to us that maybe this wasnt the moment.. so i waited until the second day, this day was much better, so i took her to this view point which is really famous with this big bit of rock that hangs over a 400 metre drop, you have to climb over the railing and then do a bit of scrambling to get to it as they dont allow people to stand on it as dumbasses have been known to fall of! , she was a bit nervous as she was quite understandably not so keen on my navigation and mountain craft abilities, i took her out to the ledge and then took a photo of her on it, i was then going to join her but as she had just looked down, she was wanting of it so as she was getting of it, i joined her and asked her and she said yes... so there you go i am going to get married. ..

Were you blocking her way off the rock by any chance when you asked her? If so, hats off to you man! Sounds like the perfect blend of romance and coercion

yip.. she had no choice ! So as far as the big day is concerned, she wants it as soon as possible, so it may be this summer watch this space!! How is your back doing nix, i hope its a lot better now, did you see the doctor? As far as we are concerned, the trip is going well, its really really really warm now!!! shame that in just over a weeks time we will be back home to winter bah!!!
