So sick to see this thread being used so much. a couple of people have suggested it would be pretty cool to ease out some of the random chatter in this thread so its all abut the profiles. So I've trimmed a bunch out, once it looks like everyone has sorted out their questions about whatever. if you're reading this and haven't put your profile in yet - the GET TO IT! Is rad to see your faces and find out a bit more about you lot.

Swoodle waiting for your pic - even though I know what your ranga head loks like, others don't - bring it on! (and hope to see Nobilus in here soon) Boogs, your pic has gone walkabout from photobucket mate

cheers to everyone for having a go
