I have been waiting 48 hour now, and it is still not there. Have emailed them, but as yet no reply. EFX Gold always takes some time for me but I use bank deposit, plus it's the weekend and I don't think they do anything on Sat or Sun.
I hope you enjoyed your birthday, iZero - oh to be 18 again - and didn't hurt yourself by falling down anywhere.
 Cheryl, I read your story of the fog - we haven't had much here in recent times, but it's strange how disorientating it can be. I hate driving in the fog in the country where there's no streetlighting - a road that you know like the back of your hand suddenly turns into a nightmare and takes forever - it is always such a relief to get through a bank of mist. England has had a lot of rain in the last couple of days, with some flooding in places, Scotland has been OK, but it has been a bit chilly for late spring. I hope all your water tanks are filling up nicely.

I bought the gold on Thursday, and when the transaction went through it said it would be there within 24 hours, that's why I was a bit concerned. They have answered my email, and told me to expect it Monday. Thanks for responding. Hope you had a great birthday.
Thanks about my B'day everyone I had a great evening/night/morning, I might even tell you about it when you're old enough
 Oh and gonsaigon, I'm entered into a draw to win $500 so if I get it I'd like to invest

The deposit card is by far the quickest method. QUOTE(janenewtosurf @ Jun 16 2007, 07:54 AM) [snapback]4188093[/snapback] Hi Pete My hubby John is English and we always get into a dispute over what we call the footy sports. Growing up we always called league - football or footy, he says football is soccer. As we always called Soccer - Soccer. Rugby is Rubgy League and AFL we called arial ping pong, as I grew up in Sydney and in NSW then we had nothing to really do with AFL which was then called VFL. My first viewing of VFL was a grand final and I decided I liked the colours of the Red and Black, I think it was Essendon, who I decided to barrack for, then later on back in the early 80's I was living in Tassie and a Melbourne team decided to become the Sydney Swans, so I decided to go for them. I am not a die hard fan at all, but would support Sydney Swans then Essendon in a match. I really do like the colours of Red and White, when I was 17 I was doing nursing, and quite often after doing a late shift, my dad would be up watching TV, and the English Soccer would be on, and Manchester United was Red and White, so have been a fan of theirs for years, So you would then be able to guess that the Red and White colours of footy belong to St George in Sydney, and I have been a fan of theirs since I was 10 and discovered football. So I have followed my Red and White colour scheme ever since. Its ok I am a girl and I don't have to make sense.  I am also 50 so making sense isn't really very important any more, I love being iZero, I hope you had a great night. Jane Thank you for displaying such wonderful taste in football club colours. There are only two countries in the world where soccer is known as soccer, Australia, and the U.S. "soccer" is a Bxstardisation of the word Association, apparently the British football Association, toured the world late in the 19th century promoting the game, and the word soccer grew from that. @Aussiefox, I have just used my e-forexgold card for the first time in ages to buy e-Bullion, I am hoping that the transaction is quick. It has been rumored that I am a grandfather, and the rumor is true, we have a baby grandaughter Cathleen Ruby (our first) I have previously posted some pics on the BTD thread, but they are not good having been taken on a phone cam, as soon as I can edit some of the new pics that I have, I will post them here. Pete
Congrats Pete, good to see the rumour mill is right for once
 Well I've just come back from O Fortuna, it was quite amazing; there's no comparison between listening on the computer and watching a live orchestra it's one of those things you must do before you die if you haven't already. I was actually thinking during the two hour performance that man's finest achievement is a symphony in full flight - it's truly breath taking. I also went to the chiro today after I've had some x-rays of my back taken and let's just say there's room for improvement. One part that won't be able to be changed is my first and second lumbar vertebrae appears to be fused (strangely he's only seen it in the neck before) which would explain my below average "bridge" position ability, at least for a gymnast. Well that's my lot, hope you all have a good weekend, I've finally landed a job over the uni holidays (long hours but good pay, it should see me through the next semester if I'm careful) and now I really need some sleep.

We will look forward to seeing the pics of Cathleen Ruby when you take them. Well iZero you will be certainly able to say you are a unique person with your skelo which no one else seems to have so different. Hope that it will not cause you too much concern in the future. What type of job did you manage to pick up?? Don't work too hard and certainly take some of your holidays to enjoy some it before going back to Uni Hope you all have a very nice weekend everyone. We had a heavy downpour during the night, enough to water my vegie patch. Catch you all later Jane
Just thought I'd mention that my e-forexcard was completed in less than 12hrs, that is the deposit card.
Pete
Thanks for the update Pete. @Jane it's a job re-packing berries, hardly very interesting but uni students can't be choosers. It's only for a couple of weeks but the hours are long so I can work hard for that time and then play relatively hard until uni goes back

It's only for a couple of weeks but the hours are long so I can work hard for that time and then play relatively hard until uni goes back I know all about the uni student work thing, my daughter currently works 2 jobs, she roped me into a third, delivering magazines. The whole idea was that I needed the exercise, and she needed the money, ultimately I ended up doing it all, just once I might add. The Winter Westerlies are howling here at the moment, so tonight should be really cold, with clear skies. Those few wet days were welcome with some 45mm of rain falling here, but a lot less over the catchment area, so things have not improved that much. Pete
Ok here's my ques
How many Aussies are doing online internet marketing? 
QUOTE(business888 @ Jun 27 2007, 01:08 PM) [snapback]4218345[/snapback] Ok here's my ques How many Aussies are doing online internet marketing? Now that is an interesting question!!! I don't know that anyone here can answer that though What exactly is internet marketing? Dorky
IM is when you sale your products online (any methods)
I buy and have thought about selling but haven't done anything about it yet (it's such a big step to go from idea and actually put down capital to realise that thought).
On another note I was able to do 5 one-armed pushups on my right arm today and although it's only a quarter of my personal best it's a sign that my collarbone is definitely on the mend
Well, it feels like ages since I have visited this thread, I have been so busy.
Have finished writing a Management essay this evening... I never want to hear the name Mintzberg again!!!!! Now its done I can give myself a day or two off from studying anyway. One armed push-ups...  ...sounds like torture to me, I can't even do one normal push up......lolWe're on the move again, I find it hard to believe we have almost been here a year.....we are only moving down the road, sounds silly, but we decided to upgrade a bit. The house is lovely, smaller backyard but bigger house. I'm looking forward to it. Myself and the kids will be going away for most of the holidays so I am hoping the weather picks up. It is absolutely wild here, has been all day. My mum and stepfather are on their way back from Queensland, and tonight they are in Lakes Entrance, which just happens to be on flood warnings. They've come back at this time especially so they can go to the footy Friday night, so I hope they don't get stuck there. If they do someone else might have to use their tickets  Well, I am off to bed, it's late. Cheryl just an update, it's official, they are flooded in and can't leave, they have to stay at least an extra night. They are in a caravan, and Mum said the rain and wind are horrendous and unrelentless, she has never known anything like it.
I think there would be a great many from Oz working online.
Hey there everyone,
 I haven't posted for a while, been very busy with my trading (only been getting two or three hours of sleep a night on my recliner in front of my PC......  )I have just ordered a new mini laptop so i can go out of the house and not be a nervous wreck that the AUD will move the wrong way in a hurry and take my trading account with it!  It isn't very powerful but is perfect for what i want it for and i got $1,000 off the price as it was a demo and it is being superseded. (The picture above is actually the new version, mine will look the same but is grey.) It's only the size of a paper back book so i will be able to have it when i do my 2 hours of light duty's at my work each day.(at my real work......He He He......  )Have a good weekend everyone and go the Bombers......... .gif) GP
Mark that is one cool little notepad, that will certainly take some of the anxiety out of trading, get some more sleep though mate, I did what you are doing staying up all hours, and it really started to affect me, I was living in a twilight zone, where I had no sleep patterns or eating patterns
it was really difficult to get some self discipline back into my life.

Dorky Hey there Dorky, I am expecting the laptop to be delivered tomorrow and i have had to join with Telstra 3G, they have sent me a usb mobile card (cost me $300...... ) and i am going to start with a 20 hour a month plan which cost $55 so it isn't cheap but i will be able to claim for the laptop and internet as i will be declaring my earnings from my Forex.As for how my trading is going, i am not going to retire at the end of the month but i am making some money and learning heaps. They say that the Aussie dollar could go all the way up to 90 cents by the end of the year and if that happens i will be a very happy little vegemite........ GP PS: Here are the plans for wireless broadband from telstra: 
Yes those are fairly expensive, but I also have the mobile usb... but I managed to get it late last year when it first came out.
I have the 1GB per month but it only costs me $57.47 per month (Half price, but that is for only 12 months) but after that I can move to another plan so I will probably choose a cheaper one. I have only gone over the allowance once, that is expensive! But considering my enhanced income from "you know who" I can afford it, and I am saving a bit for later on. But I don't have telephone charges anymore, as when I got this I got the phone taken off. I can't hear anyone on the darn thing anyway. So that was a saving. But the more popular these things become, the cheaper they will also become. Great to see you doing OK with your trading. In my next life I might have a go at that sort of thing. Not enough of this life left to learn it properly. I am ready for the football tonight. Hopefully it will be a whitewash with Queensland winning the third game as well. No drinks for me until half time. Promise. I want to see this one!! Dorky

Well today I have been in computer Hxll.
My wife has picked up a virus that I can't believe, 8 hrs to tidy it up, now I can see the light at the end of the tunnell thank goodness. The whole maroons thing was tough, but, they walked away with the series, it doesn't get any better than that. GO MAROONS. Pete
I concur with your latter statement @Pete, and now I'll be off to Wallaville one last time before it goes to auction on the first Tuesday in August which is sad because it's the end of a chapter but business is business and it was dragging the profits of the family company down so it has to go albeit sadly.
On another note I went out last night and I actually made money, mainly because I forgot my keycard and Steve conned me into putting a dollar into the Pokies (which wasn't too hard because it was just after I had a shot of Satruse(sp?)) where I won $7, enough to pay for my drink with $0.50 left over . So in my entire pokies career I've gambled $3 and returned $8. I've beaten the system so far so I'm going to leave it there. And if I go out next time and don't dance with a random when I see the chance you all get to slap me 
I only thought it was the light at the end of the tunnel, now it's all good.
Pete
Gee it has been quiet in here.
 But then again, it must be the cold weather here in Aus. I for one do not like this cold weather. I have had and still have another bout of the flu. No energy and seems to be just putting one foot after the other these days. It is hard to get out of bed even these days. Or have I just lost motivation?? Whatever it is the bones are aching..Roll on summer, we have had too much winter this year... Dorky 
Back from the farm yesterday. If anyone wants to put a bid in on it it's on the first Wednesday of this month. I should have more to say but at the moment I really don't, the mail is just too off.
Seems like we're all hibernating or out playing in the snow. I had to stand outside in the sun for 10 minutes like a reptile just so I could feel my fingers again and speaking of which I went back to tumbling.
Split lip, busted fingers (which are still badly swollen), skinned shin and a sore back. Who else thinks I'm a bit rusty? I just hope my fingers are better for Saturday (my other tumbling day), we've had a mini population explosion down there going from just 6 or so to 12. I think a few of them were just having a trial lesson but they seemed to enjoy it so they should be back.
Certainly seems that the cold weather does keep us Aussies from being so chirpy!
This thread is so quiet. I know during the cold weather it is hard for me to be motivated.. but the last day or so I have noticed that the days are getting longer again.. but August is just around the corner and then hopefully roll on summer... with some nice rain of course. Am I asking too much?? It is better to ask for more than you would be happy with, as if it dosen't happen, I will not be too dissappointed. I hope you guys are all well. I know Pete is going through the mill now, but hopefully he will bounce back. Our thoughts are with you Pete. Get well soon, we miss your positive, witty posts.. and your stories. Dorky
I'm thinking of you too Pete!!

I just thought that i would post this update about Pete from Dorky:
Update on Pete. I received a reply from Mrs. Pete. She said,It seems that the RRV seems to have been the trigger for other and more serious problems, Pete is a tough old bird, and seldom lets us know if he is ill or not over the past two months he has been far sicker than we have been led to believe. He has a leaking valve in his heart, and this week he is booked in for an angiogram, to check for arterial blockages. He very worried about this procedure. Because Pete has been a smoker, he has needed to get back to a strong enough position, before any thing can be done. He is improving slowly but surely. This is a very trying time for Pete and his family, and of course I asked that Mrs. Pete let Pete know we were all wishing him well, and not to worry about us and that everything is fine here in the thread. As I have said before we want “Captain Breaker” back healthy. He is in good hands where he is in hospital, getting the treatment he needs. Fellow Breaker ~ Dorky Get well soon Pete! GP
We're all behind you Pete, get better soon

Just back from summer holiday, so I'm catching up with all the news.
The summer weather in Europe has been weird. England and southern Scandinavia had a lot of rain and flooding, southern Europe had high temperatures and forest fires. I tried to find a happy medium by going up to the north of Norway. There was a bit more rain than usual, but nothing to complain about. I had several nice days when I got up to the Arctic where it is light all night in July. Towards the end of July when the midnight sun is starting to go, you can still get these fantastic sunset skies which last for hours. Now I have to start getting my photos sorted out. Sorry to see Pete in the hospital  , hope he gets well soon, my thoughts are with him.

That was funny. By the way, it's raining around here also. Literally.
Where is everyone?
Still no news on how Pete is going, i hope he is battling on ok and will be as good as new very soon as this place just isn't the same with out him.

well i hope you get well soon pete
it is a slow old thread without your posts happy bday to your son gp it sure has flown by i think i can remember you posting a picture or something when he was born but i could be mixing you up with some one else and what about andrew johns lmao and the excuse was worse so next time you get caught red handed doing some thing stupid and irresponsible you can try the all new "andrew johns" defence so your in court for killing some stranger your defence "i was just walking along minding my own business this stranger i have never seen before came over gave me a knife and i put it in my pocket i forgot it was even there ,then the next minute im getting charged for murder" GP'S 1 year old son could come up with a better story
Wishy-washy somehow doesn't really sum it up, as dad said he wouldn't be apologising to anyone who will listen if he was innocent. Not much happening in this corner of the world, I had my 18th a couple of weeks ago (only 2 months late
), I've got this "job" talking to Japanese over the net. I also got a car which will be my brother's too when he learns to drive. It's a '92 Corolla hatch complete with towbar and a bullbar.
