Hey faniel, sounds like you're still havin fun on the bat. I won't be in the water til at least next week, the elbow is only 75%. Was supposed to be fine by tomorrow, but no way. Pain in the arse, but hopefully end of next week, if you still have it i'll pinch it back for a bit.

Cheers, and have fun on it mate

The picture has a piece cut from the outside by the new web server,not me-you might have to see Don or the mods about that. I think someone else mentioned this problem in another forum as well

jeez boys, farrrkin pickin on my melon , I know its ordinary but gimme a break, this is the pic when I smiled coz RV was always bagging me for not smiling ( or having a dig about my lawn ) and I had no idea they would use that shot let alone zoom in on my ruff melon, it was a shot of me holding the AquaBat straight after I shaped it. been some intersting e-mails since this was printed , even had a company ask me for marketing and promotional ideas... :roll: I am sure theres much MORE pay-outs coming so I am prepared.... 8)

Mark, this is the problem with the new layout.
I got to see the whole pic by saving it in "my pictures".

It's because the forum threads and posts only take up 2/3 of the page :?

If you've got a widescreen monitor and view it full screen or near to it you won't get half the picture cutoff.

But if you're on a 4:3 monitor you're screwed. Its that add in the top right corner that is taking up 1/3 of the total screen width.

Yep, thats my problem.

The add takes up 1/3rd leaving only 2/3rds for the posts and 1/3 of white space on the right.

talked to Matt the photog tonight, he is picking up the Bat on Sat morn.
he reckons there might be waves on the weekend and is lining up some guys.
i have kid sitting duties and house reno's screaming at me.
but if the waves are good?????
might be able to escape for an hour.
he will have it as long as he likes and if someone else puts their hand up pass it on to them.
kind of wishing someone does ask for it.

this fat bat is a cross between a hot potato
and a Tolkien lord of the 'Rings'.
you half want to get rid of it as soon as you've had some fun on it,
maybe i'll break it , it lose it etc.
and then its like 'My Precious, My Precious'

someone take it off me soon please :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
