[glow=green,5,0]Watcha folks. Missed me? No, i didnt think so Anyway, here I am in not so sunny Oz .... the lad there mobile phones cost a fortune, broadband is a joke and the banks charge you to use there cash machines.... and the beer tastes like water (well, most of it). The good news is that I now have myself a proper job (i've been contracting for Kraft Foods for the last few weeks) and will start work in the No.1. law firm in Australia in a couple of weeks time. Not exactly Space but its gonna have to do.... and its got to be better that processed cheeeeeeese and vegimite. I'll be buying myself a new computer within the next month or so I would think and I guess i'm going to have to bite the bullet and pay $85 a month to download 3 gig (at 512/128). Cant wait to catch up with y'all on line and get my first look at Worms 3D. Is the full game out yet? or is it still just the demo? I had a look around a games shop the other day but couldn't see it. Anyway, better get some work done as it is my last day working for Kraft... Say Cheeeeeeeese! Si[/glow]

Here is a reply to my net post simon, might find it interesting
[glow=red,2,300]have an Optus Cable acount which is 512/128 and I pay $69.95 a month for 3GB, I don't download that much cause I playing games online mainly and it is great for me. It is considerably faster then ADSL for instance I have downloaded a 20MB file at 735K from the ATI website. ADSL wont even get close to that. I am a cable guy, ADSL sucks and is a ripoff. [/glow]
Anyway keep looking round...so much out there and Telstra SUCK!

AAAAAAY, Good to here U are doing well, I was beginning to think U forgot us. Anyway in answer to your question about worms 3D my advice is FORGET IT. I got it today and it seems that Team17 has successfully killed the worms series with this newest addition. ( I will make a full posting with my review soon) U still got my # m8? Looking forward to seeing you online. I started getting board after U left. I still play worms all day everyday but havent had MSM turned on in a few months.
P.S I feel bad for you commoners who think (512/128) is broadband. LOL Just Kidding, U know I take any opportunity to brag about my connection. ;D

anyway Simon, what's your mail now? I've noticed the worms.tournament@planet.nl gives some type of error I think when I send mails over to there... You still use the simon_laird@hotmail.com for MSN purposes or you changed it?
Need to know lad

[glow=green,5,0]Hiya all, stuck at work late tonight so i'm taking this chance to catch up on a few of the posts. Thanks for looking all that info up for me Xaos, I'm aiming to sort myself out with a new PC in January and get ADSL broadband. I found one that does a 512/128 unlimited. They aint fast but 'unlimited' is what I need. I could never go from 95 gig a month down to 3.
Cres, I changed my e-mail address on my profile before I left Holland AND i mentioned that i'd switched it in a post... I think... those last few days in the netherlands... are... somewhat... blurry.....
Bytor, I'm almost in the same timezone as Xaos now so we have much more chance of running in to each other on MSM. I've got it running at work, can promise i'll always be free for a chat, but it would be good to talk to ya.
Greetz to all the old timers and the new comers. I look forward to spanking yo' punk asses in the future... coz i'm sure not having played for 4 months wont have effected my game play at all.....

I look forward to the return of the Cheese-boy, in particular for group B ;D By the way, should the "OT" in the thread name actually be "OZ"? If not, what?
