    Hello dudes,

    Long time I know, I've not had much opportunity to keep up with this thread on my travels.

    I'm glad to see I've still got my civ gold, I was half expecting it to have been raided by the likes of those dodgy Australians.

    I'll slap 30 gold on Auckland, just for a laugh.

    About a month ago, I was lucky enough to play a game of rugby in Switzerland. The teams were made up of mainly Kiwis, Aussies, and English, so it was fairly intense. (Funnily enough, the intensity continued all the way into the after match piss up. Needless to say, the behaviour was disgraceful, Havak you'd have been proud).

    I mention this because I was playing alongside a bloke who claimed to be Scott Robinson's younger brother, Rich. He was also a loose forward, and a dam good one too.

          Good to see you back on Andydog.

          Dont you want to bet on Waikato though? I dont know if its worth risking my gold on this bet any more as my potential winning are small.

              If you win, you ain't gonna win much, old son.

                Cheers mate but I'm happy with Auckland - I've chosen them because they beat Canterbury, and I'd rather that my team lost to the winners of the tournament.

                  We pinched it, invested it, made a squillion, and only just returned your p*ssy 140-odd to the Bank this arvo, actually.

                    Erm...is it too late for me to back out finbar? This bet isnt worth me risking more than 2/3 of my gold...

                      It doesn't surprise me in the least - you're a dodgy geezer, plain and simple. I could, of course, at this point, remind everyone that much of my 'p*ssy gold' came from one Finbar... but no, I don't think I will just yet...

                        As it stands, if you win, you get back your 20 plus 10.

                        Don't worry about it. Some of us are obviously going to go down the dunny betting with our hearts - no names, no packdrill, Havak - and there will have to be some sort of draw-down facility. I suggest we just advance the desperates some more Civ Gold from our Fantasy Fort Knox and keep track of it. If they win a heap, they can repay it. If they can't, they just end up with a minus balance.

                          Remind 'em all you like. 'Cause I cleaned them out.

                            Should I assume there's no interest rate on these advances?
