G'day everybody.

[A.C.T_Guy]

Newbie from Australia here. I started reading King about 15yrs ago and am slowly but surely working my way through all his titles. I joined this group so i could drop in and chat because most of my friends aren't big on books. Other writers i like are Koontz, McCammon, Morrell and have just found Dan Simmons.

I work as a storeman for an industrial supplies company which keeps me active so my weekends are spent relaxing by reading, watching sport (cricket, football, moto gp) and chess with friends.
I don't have any pets, though my brother has a pitbull cross who i visit every other weekend.
I look forward to meeting you all,
Dan.

G'day Dan, nice to have you here.
(Do you also like rugby? Aussie v AB's tomorrow night.... )

 

[A.C.T_Guy]

Thanks Flake,
Yeah i watch rugby occasionally, I'm just not down with some of the finer technical points to the game. The last game was close but i fear what the score could be on NZ turf.

 

[FlakeNoir]

I'm looking forward to it, we have a few injuries though, so it could be quite a close one.

Thanks for the welcome King family fan. Thats kinda scary though.

Injuries to the allblacks gives australia some kind of chance then. I was much younger last time we won the Bledisloe.

Not to worry about crashing the site. The spoiler button is in a drop down menu which is accessed in the formatting options above the text box in the section with the smilie face. See below:
