Yes... that was absolutely insane... Imagine the Boks & the AB's playing in the 3N and the boks running out in black and the AB's in green and gold???

 :rolleyes1: penny... penny... penny... I can't keep on explaining this the whole time... I'm busy... I know we keep on saying the 'Clan' but the Clan IS the HIGHLANDERS ... which in turn is OTAGO... You have the whole thing mixed up...  :D Now please tip the correct team from now on... Did Roamer explain to you how important our tipping is... the results actually get sent through to the teams before the match and it really hurts their feelings if they see that we have tipped the enemy to win... completely demoralises them...  :D

By the way who is beating the Canes this weekend?  :D

Ref... ref... ref... - and I can see you are all very dedicated to your 'clan'  but some of us need to be realistic here! 

I'm not so worried if the boys feelings are hurt, if they are such wusses that they are affected by a wee girlie girl then I am changing my tip to tahs 13+!  ;)

The canes are being beaten by the Chiefs & their Mere's or their Patus - not sure which it is actually some might say its a violin - ANYWAY I expect a severe beating and make no qualms about it, shall I say that I am not feeling quite so bouyed by my teams performance as you blokes.

I might also point out I was looking at my virtual rugby mates, and while I don't have a stack of mates more than 1/2 are supporting the highlanders and so I think I might have to cull some - particularly the ones that are beating me!!  ;)

Well the I'll probably be the only Clan supporter left on your list as I'll be below you from this weekend... There are 3 games that I'm completely undecided on (one is the Chiefs Canes game)... up untill now I've been sure that my picks are spot on... so if I'm uncertain then... brother!!!

As for the mileys... leave a space after the word or the smiley... I recall something like that.

Well, you could click on the reply button .. and then simply click on the icon you want penny :D

I may fix the codes up one day when I get some time.. if ever :shrug:

However, the code for typing the win is
Code: [Select]
:icon_wink:
But just as easy just to go into the reply box and get them there

But Ref is correct, certain codes have "shortcuts" and they may produce errors as it is looking for an icon that doesn't exist .. so use a space every time you use )

WELLLLLLLLLLL I could do that... but sometimes Ref gets me into such a fluster I just can't wait to reply and so use the quick reply box :)

I actually wanted the wink and did the shortcut on purpose :icon_wink:  but it just says wink and icon_wink is just too much for my fingers to type...

I wasn't trying to say you need to fix them up - I know you are busy, I am just lazy and always use quick reply. 

REF the Chiefs vs Canes game I think you should pick the Chiefs (that way I will have one win you wont - no make that too since I tipped the tahs too!)

penny... penny... penny... You are (were) supposed to pick the Clan and the Canes... no way the Chiefs can win that!  :D ... seriously, what is it with the tahs that you keep picking them?

reff... ref... ref... I DID pick the canes... cos I have to my heart wont let me do anything else.  But YOU were supposed to pick the chiefs so you wouldn't get the points for that round and I can be one up on you....(I am really very nice a caring person, when competition isn't involved! :icon_wink:

No idea what it is about the tahs and picking them, except that I don't think the clan will keep performing and they tahs are a good team, or have been in previous years anyway.  So I figured I'd pick them.

And speaking on our picks, I was just looking at we have picked allot the same, and so it will be interesting to see how close our scores are this week, we just picked 2 games diff and 1 margin (I think)

Penny, the Clan aer improving each week and are only going to get stronger as the weeks go by. Pick against them at your peril and watch as it comes down to the last couple of games to see who finishes higher, Clan or Canes. I'm thinking Clan. wink   :icon_wink:

Only time will tell! 

I'm thinking Canes, but only cos they are the team I support haha not based on their performance. 

I am trying to move out of Auckland and so am looking for an area that has a team I am prepared to support!  haha Thats like my #1 criteria - #2 is that there is a job for Daniel.  Both are very hard to sort out!

I thought the ending of the game was great, and would have been pleased if the clan had gotten that last penalty.  (particularly cos that would mean neither me nor my Highlander friends would get any points! ;))
