  2. What are these graphics/titles on my posts?

    What is the "L-Plate Rider", "Scooter boy", etc under my name?.
    It is a user title which graduates the more you post. Once you reach the status of Senior Member, you are able to define your own user title.

    These are graphical user ranks which also graduate and increase in number the more your post.

  6. The SMC Gets In Touch With Nature (aka How Not To Go For A Bushwalk)

The sense of achievement after a long day’s walk. Stephen, however, sees things differently.

  8. Sat 9th : Piggy in the middle

    A most welcoming and heartfelt felicitation to you dear reader, this time a most quick missive that may repeat some details from previously, but rest assured, there is a small momentary twist in the tale.

    I found myself in the afternoon with a small surfeit of time to myself after I had cleared my schedule of interruptions. Off to Maraetai once again to plunder the schools of small baitfish for more fishing tomorrow. All went well and in a short two hours or so I had taken 30 or so ...
