Welcome to all new members!!!!

Hail Forest Dreamer. Well I have a friend from aus who likes to refer to NZrs as wooly jumpers. nuf said lol.

Oh, but that's all good natured. When I'm around my Aussie rellies, I mock their accents every chance I get.

I agree with you Variol Son!

Tamo - it's sort of like the difference between being able to joke about your own family but heaven help anyone else who does! Aussies and Kiwis are family and we share some wicked rivalries in cricket BUT they are the other part of the word ANZACs and few Aussies would deny the close relationship.

Mind you Variol Son, I wish we had a PM that had the guts to join you in signing the ASEAN non-hostility agreement like yours did!

hey Vs i know. it's all in good fun. just like here where we call all those who live in the valleys and cities flatlanders. I forgot what mike said NZrs called him. Anyways where in NZ are you from. And it's very good to see SRD's books go so far. I remember when they first came out. Soem folke thought i was too enthusiastic. Especially a book where the mian character has leprosy. i'm truly amazed at all this. i probably should have checked long ago.

I was born and raised In Invercargill, at the southern end of the South Island. Invercargill has the worlds southermonst McDonalds, and was called "the a***hole of the world" by Mick Jagger when the Rolling Stones toured NZ. At the moment however, Sir Anthony Hopkins is filming a movie there, and he really likes the place, or so they say.

I now live in the Garden City; Christchurch. The third biggest city in the country, and one of the faster growing ones.

Hey Fist & Faith

I think I DO know Matthew!!!

What a coincidence! Short guy. Balding. 3 Nipples. Dog named Frank. Is that the guy?

Finally! I'm glad you guys exist and that I found you. I have been a SRD fan since the 1980's. He is my all time favorite author. Thanks for a great site and keep up the good work. If any of you are wondering who got the "fangthane@bellsouth.net email address, it was ME.

Hi there,

I have followed stuff on this website for quite some time, but I always resisted joining in as I find whenever I do join forums it takes up so much of my time.

However I couldn't resist any longer, so here I am.

I'm English born and bred - just for your info. - and I am ...er..old enough to have been around long before the first chronicles were conceived.

Read the first and second Chronicles as they were being written - agonizing wait for each book - have read them 3 times each now and just finished the Runes of the Earth today.

Good book - i was afraid he might have lost it, but I have been unble to put it down.

I've read Mordants Need twice too - but I just couldnt get oin with the Gap stuff at all.

Other fave author is David Gemmell - if you heven't read his stuff then try it, it's gritty and relaistic - blurs the good/ bad guy line that so many other fantasy books find hard to do.

Anyway - glad to be here.

Whoo-hoo!!! Another Gemmell fan!! You are most welcome here at the Watch! (There's too few of us as it is..... ) Hope you enjoy your stay!!!
