Hi all,

Thought I would drop in and say hello. I have been on FT for 7 months now, this is the first time on the forums. I have been reading some posts for a while now and enjoy the "Photo a day" thread and many others. I hope to get to know you all and become a regular poster.

Hi there and welcome, Choco_nut! Hope you enjoy the forums! My personal connection to 'Down Under' is several cousins in Perth, but have also made quite a few Aussie friends here on FT!:)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

Now, if I could only think of something to talk about! I'm sure I can think of something..

You wouldn't believe it but my gold membership expired today! I've been and paid up but will have to wait on the confirmation email..

I've just realised that I won't be able to play the knockout today. (Starting to get the shakes!)

And a welcome from me also, Choco-nut, and as ClaraSue said, 'another Aussie'?
I think it's great because you have all 'expanded my language', even if people off the site have no clue what I'm saying. Sandy

Hey Auntie, great to see a familiar name from our regional board..

I used to live in West Footscray many moons ago... or should I say Foot is gray?

Thanks jordandog for the welcome!
Nice name, my son's name is Jordan too!

Hi there - hope you got your Gold sorted out and your withdrawal symptoms have eased - I found myself playing at a motorway motel on Wednesday, just so I didn't miss a round!

Thanks NoelsFan and Quiz Beagle for your welcome messages.

My Gold was sorted out the same night so I was able to play with no problem. It didn't do me any good though, I got knocked out that night!
