You're well on your way to being a geek!

I'll keep mine as long as the Penguins are in the playoffs. They begin tonight with game 1. 16 teams, best of 7 series. The one team to win 16 games wins the Stanley Cup. GO PENS!!!

I'm insulted.....I count myself as a level 5 geek I'll have you know....all I need is a +10 firemace annealed with a spell of regeneration and I'll be level 6!

Sorry GIGS! Either I was drunk or that old bastard TLH deleted a post. Unfortunately I didn't quote him because I was mobile.

How many TWFers will be attending the dawn service Friday week?

I agree with TiF:

"Lest we Forget"

[The InnFORCEr]

I was on Anzac Cove in my Wallabies jersey (and about six other layers) last year- Are you planning on going Jargs? Kings Park?

[jargan83]

Of course

Me and Badger are planning that trip to Anzac Cove in 2015, 100 year commeration

[Swee_82]

Sorry to pull the thread off topic..

Yeah, never know, might try and get back for that. Last year I was just taking adantage of being in England for training the week before.

Attempting to get back on topic, I might have to rustle through to picis to find an ANZAC- appropriate Avatar

[Swee_82]

I did fish out an Anzac Avatar- the pic is from the Lone Pine Cemetary on the Gallipoli Peninsula
