    I can't help wondering if the new board layout is being a smartass or if I'm a dumbarse (please forgive language ) . I know New Zealand is often refferred to as Down Under ( as our Australian cousins across the ditch are also ) but twice today I have loaded a photo for my avatar (different ones ) and they showed up upside down

    David G de-modded....

    Others have posted that their images turned 45 degrees, but haven't seen upside down complaint. Not sure what the issue would be.

    Thanks Bill. Re uploaded it flipped around a couple of times and it stayed upside down on my avatar so I tried another pic and it worked first time so go figure . Maybe it's the "little people "????? ( needs to be said with an emerald isle accent ).

    Now I need to take my car out for some photos I guess. Not supposed to be driving at the moment with dizzy speĺls. Have to talk nicely to the "Minister of War and Finance " after my MRI later this morning I suppose
    Cheers

    That minister can be a tough cookie mate! Don't be such a swaggie, just go park her under a coolibah tree and tell her how great she is LOL... ws

    I've been off work for a few weeks
    with an inner ear infection that has played havoc with my ballance...the wheels turning but the hampster has been on a bender.....drove to the vet today to get clearance to go back to work and when I got home decided to get the Skylark out on such a lovely spring day and get a couple of snaps upside down and sideways left and right handed to see what happens - the ones that fitted ( I cut back to 2) all went right way up. Go figure.
    Token from top of Kaiti hill (kye tea) headland to left is Young Nicks Head. First landfall spotted from the Endeavour when Captain Cook discovered New Zealand.
    Posted this afternoon Friday 15th 5.11PM hope your day is as nice as this when you get to it.

    (a Christchurch boy writes from Melbourne) REALLY nice scenery there mate....foreground and background. Was back over in the North Island for a couple days last week but didn't see any Buicks...

    Not many here in Gizzy mate and i think mines the only A body. I know of about five. Having been to straya a number of times i know the greenery there is kinda brown compared to home. Never got to see Christchurch pre the quakes but have been through a couple of times the last few years (missed this year) towing down to Ashburton to race. Love the South Island scenery and have made some good freinds down there - right down to the gas staion attendants dealing with South Islanders makes you want to be nice. - dunno if i could do a winter down there though

    re NZ winter: Me neither. That's why I'm in Melbourne. ;-)
