Mantas, you will have to give me a page ref so I can see what vid I was talking about! With all this spring weather I may find myself with some time up my sleeves. I've always wanted to go to Jakes. Whats heavier? Blacks or jakes? Blacks would be hard to beat I think. I love that funneling right that is up that way below the cliffs that you get bazzed on take off. It's been in heaps of vids, most recently with Parko & AI in filthy habits

Thread revival. Not much happening here due to Spring normalities. Anyone (besides spook) getting waves?

Originally Posted By: joshnii What was the point?? I'm not really understanding your question.

I use my computer out of the office - and home - a lot and I want to be able to connect. So, the point was/is, I wanted to. Sorry mate, Maybe I have missed the point totally! So this is for out of office use in addition to your home connection? If you can hit the limit in 15 mins of surfing then obviously you will be paying heaps more that

Originally Posted By: joshnii BTW the upper limit thing makes me laugh. I don't know what "packets" are, but after 15 minutes of surfing online I have hit that limit! So basically it's 5980 yen a month. Which is fine with me, I knew that the upper limit was very easily reached. Joshini, If the limit is so easily reached what was the point of getting it? For the Computer?

You must be sending him to the wrong private school!

This is a much better car!

I don't care if I have booties or not. In fact better off wearing them where I am for getting in or out. Reefs like Ulu's or G0Land they are a must but if you have boat access (like spooky does) then it's pozzible to go without.. Volleys, thats just nuts!

That's no good. Do you have to option of not accepting it? DP?

I am just saying that it would be hard to walk away from a wave that you specifically came to surf when it is cranking, and usually in a group not everyone would be up to surfing the high level waves when it is big anyway, so it probably becomes less of an issue when it is big. you may have guessed it already, I am not a group surf trip fella. I like to do my own thing. I think it's

watch a show called race relations ( can Dl or find on abc oz) pretty fuuny and touches on the subject (just don't tell Harry Connick Jnr)

Just get a new mac

8 guys!!! fark, that's not cricket. When I am doing it rough its with max of 3 (usually including a non surfer!). I've actually never seen blokes doing the "Feral" in groups that big unless they were brazo's! spook I see what you are saying, but If I pay the coin to surf E-bay & it's pumping, I am out there.. There's gonna have to some place pretty effing good to get me away from there!

no no no... banana pancake kopi and jaffle!

okawari! use it for food, drinks etc my common use is "wife, get me another sho chu!" (doesn't sound that bad in Japanese

slave I can handle!

People going to Bali and getting guides shiats me, such a lazy way these days. In ma day (& I am not that old!) ya did everything ya self, which was part of the adventure.

Ments is more consistent. But the Mentas ain't always huge. Just perfect. 3-5ft would be in the usual range. As Mantas said if you do the Telo's (resort) it is very exy. If you do it yourself then cheap cheap cheap but need time to sort stuff out. Pitstop seems reasonable though still exy by my Indo standards (Mozzie done & living on caught fish and rice)

My father in law bets on the gee gee's every week they are on.. Will have to ask if that is true Thursday.

Originally Posted By: tripler Is new plates and change of ownership done at the car dealers or is a trip to some administrative department involved? You need a parking permit & then it can be done at the main car rego place in your city. Car dealers charge 4man approx to do it. If you have the time it is easy enough to do by yourself, if not just pay!

Pretty easy to do on the mac. I used to hook up the powerbook to watch divx movies on my TV when I didn't have a compatible dvd player. Just change a few settings in displays and away you go!

Originally Posted By: bobby12 Road tax is seperate though I think, we pay it totally seperately anyway. Yep. If you are referring to the car tax (about 38,000+) that comes each year around the end of April that is seperate..

Originally Posted By: tripler So if you buy a 2nd hand car with a year's shaken left on it, it's good to go? Or do you *have* to get the actual car body and road tax basic insurance you mentioned? How much would that be for a cheap K-car? Tripler, if you buy a car with shaken it's good to go until it runs out. All you need to do is change the name and get new plates. Shaken is a really easy thing to do and if you put it in perspective it is pretty cheap. If you pay around 100,000 for 2 years with rego and CTP together. Do it yourself and you might save up to half. (that's what I used t

Having spent long stints at remote locations in Indo, I fully understand. Things can get to you and as there is no escape just magnify by 100! But at the end of the day you are there, and we are not, so no sympathy from me!
