They seem to me to be a good outfit to deal with also.
|
| Posted by Aussie Bob, 07-10-2002, 04:31 AM | | Gary is a Queenslander, so you know his blood is pretty much worth bottling.
|
| Posted by chrisb, 07-10-2002, 08:02 AM | | A good host in Australia? I don't believe it. When did kangaroos get into the hosting business?
|
| Posted by Aussie Bob, 07-10-2002, 08:14 AM | | Believe it
What, you've never heard of - RooHost.com & KanagaHost.com & RooHosting.com ??
|
| Posted by XEOS, 07-10-2002, 08:33 AM | | Yeah, we had to stop drinking for a week to finance our business (for the next 40 years).
Nah, joking - Yahoo Serious chipped in to help us.

Gary
|
| Posted by Aussie Bob, 07-10-2002, 02:14 PM | | As a young fella, dad used to take us roo shooting. That's where I learned to drive actually. Isn't it amazing when you look back on what used to be accepted by society 20 years ago and shudder at things like that?
|
| Posted by edude, 07-10-2002, 02:18 PM | | I use little roo for bait
|
| Posted by Choppy, 07-10-2002, 05:36 PM | | Go Sydney all the way!
Nothing more to say!
Kind regards

| Posted by AussieHosts, 07-10-2002, 07:06 PM | | Go "through" Sydney all the way, you mean? Nobody in their right mind would stop there.
Gary
|

I think we need a POST "who is Australian in WHT"!

| Posted by AussieHosts, 07-10-2002, 11:42 PM | | I fear there's too much concrete in Sydney.
Gary

|
| Posted by AussieHosts, 07-12-2002, 11:00 AM | | Brisbane, sun and surf, tshirts and thongs.
We lived in the Dandenong Ranges and then out at Puckapunyal Army Camp in Victoria, so our experience of Victoria was not a good one.

| Posted by The3bl, 07-12-2002, 12:05 PM | | A Texan down under The only place that would have me is QLD
Queenslanders are pretty close to Texans in attitude and style and the Gold Coast looked like a good place to live.
Besides my wife lives here
|
| Posted by Aussie Bob, 07-12-2002, 07:03 PM | | although at the moment Aussie Bob is rugged up in his cool tracksuit. My fingers are cold.

| Posted by AMedia, 07-12-2002, 10:01 PM | | Hi All, you think it is cold in Queensland and Sydney..You come down here to Adelaide and i'll show you cold!
Jason
|
| Posted by AussieHosts, 07-12-2002, 10:16 PM | | Brrrrr....it snowed the last Winter we were in Adelaide. Never again.
Gary
|
| Posted by Aussie Bob, 07-12-2002, 10:59 PM | | I work pretty much right through the night and grab some zzzzzz's during the day, so the early mornings get a tad cold. But I can't complain I used to work in the building industry and there was nothing worse than working on a roof with a 35knott westerly wind blowing up your [place where the sun don't shine] and it being 7am in the morning. That was just plain cruel. So my cold fingers now are hardly worth mentioning.
Aussie Bob is getting soft.

| Posted by StevenG, 07-12-2002, 11:15 PM | | That has got to be the funniest thing I ever did see.....

|
| Posted by Aussie Bob, 07-13-2002, 02:42 AM | | Just wondering, did the brits send their reserve grade footy team over here for last night's footy match against Australia? Or maybe the team they sent was really their laides U18s.
|
| Posted by edude, 07-13-2002, 02:49 AM | | I guess brits have a better soccer team than the ozzies
|
| Posted by StevenG, 07-13-2002, 03:05 AM | | Not too sure about soccer these days, lost interest since coming down down here... who's gonna win the bledisloe tonight is the question.....?
My moneys on the kiwi's... (OK thats a controversial decision with all you Aussies around ... but I don't care.... )
Gonna run for cover lol
|
| Posted by StevenG, 07-13-2002, 05:49 AM | | Geez it's quiet around here.... looks like the AB's pulled it off lol
More of a soccer score in the end... must have been the cold in christchurch that swung it...
|
| Posted by AussieHosts, 07-13-2002, 12:34 PM | | Yes, congratulations to the kiwis. We missed the game unfortunately, but I'll be sure to watch the Sydney game. Was it a good match up?
Gary
|
| Posted by edude, 07-13-2002, 06:50 PM | | lol
I'm a soccer fan, wierd aussie who supports soccer
|
| Posted by StevenG, 07-13-2002, 07:14 PM | | Yes , according to this, backs up the weather story.... better luck in Sydney guys.... no much of a dramatic game...
It wasn't pretty but the All Blacks have ground out a 12-6 win over the Wallabies in the opening Tri Nations and Bledisloe Cup clash in Christchurch.
The All Blacks led 6-3 at halftime.
Andrew Mehrtens scored all of New Zealand's points in miserable conditions at Jade Stadium, booting four from four shots at goal.
However Australian centre Matt Burke's radar wasn't quite as accurate, slotting only two of his four attempts.
"All Black coach John Mitchell says it was a gutsy effort from his players.
The defence in the last ten minutes was particularly impressive from the All Blacks, who were reduced to 14 men with eight minutes to play after centre Mark Robinson was sin-binned for an early tackle.
Andrew Mehrtens says an outstanding defensive effort paved the way for the win, and the wet and cold conditions meant kicking for territory was a must.
He says while the wingers didn't have many chances with ball in hand, they made up for it in other areas.
John Mitchell blames the weather for the stop-start nature of the game and reckons a return to afternoon test matches is needed. "
Yes, I know this is not "The lounge" hang loose

| Posted by Aussie Bob, 07-13-2002, 08:08 PM | | We shall extract revenge in Sydney Just bring it
|
| Posted by AussieHosts, 07-13-2002, 08:23 PM | | Brisbane appears to be very uninterested in the world's premier code, and I don't think Melbourne/Sydney are far behind (in terms of numbers/ratio). Whereas Perth is very focussed on soccer (again, considering the population), largely due to high percentage of ex-Brits I guess.
My whole family has a long history in soccer. I gave up coaching this year, but my son is still kicking goals.

| Posted by XEOS, 07-13-2002, 08:50 PM | | It is really quite amusing how a topic regarding Aussie Resellers has now developed into a discussion about Soccer.
I'd be surprised if community interest in Soccer extends much further than schoolboy matches on Saturday afternoons, in Brisbane.
Melbourne is pretty keen on soccer. But I'd say that they've got the climate for it.
In Queensland, there's only one (two codes, I think we all know which one is best Union) sport - Rugby. I for one am glad that AFL didn't take off here.
|
| Posted by StevenG, 07-13-2002, 08:51 PM | | Getting back on track, I remember now, it was a while ago I contacted Gary about some co-lo's providers within Oz, great guy, great advice and one of the web hosting industries 'Good Uns'
Keep it up Gary and the guys.....
|
| Posted by AussieHosts, 07-13-2002, 09:06 PM | | I agree there Richard. I played Union from '82 till '97 and only really got interested in League when posted to Brisbane in '96.
Thans for your kind words too Steve.
Gary
|
| Posted by NexDog, 07-14-2002, 10:53 AM | | Got to chime in as Melbourne is seriously under represented.
This pom is right at home with this weather.

| Posted by Choppy, 07-14-2002, 06:08 PM | | 4 Times a week soccer here....
Twice a Week Out Door soccer one for trainning and one for Match.
Twice a Week for Futsol ( Indoor Soccer ) one trainning and one match!
I love the sport, the only thing that keeps me off the computer...
I must admit i have never watched as much tv in 4 years since the amount i watched during the word cup this year!
eheh
|
| Posted by StevenG, 07-14-2002, 06:16 PM | | My daughter and I had a good kick around on the waterfront yesterday, she's good.... perhaps she may get to represent the All Whites under 3's - Especially good in goals
