Well! what an experience aye? Joined up and then worked my way around the site ya know. Looks like you should do a post saying you're recommending NZDirect as an 'alternative' forum when HC is slow/down aye. I read comments along the line of "who's this groinpoisters bloke. 100 posts since mid April". IT IS an alternative and at least it's up and quick ya know, but some of the content makes me glad to say that in another 42 days I will have spent half my life in Australia. I was born over there ya know. If enough HC'erites join up, we would blow them out of the water with our content and variety. I'll revisit, and suggest others do as well, just as a standby-and a bloody good laugh aye.
