Is this where you say "Hi!"?

If so, then "Hi!"

I don't have a Rolex yet but would love to get one (sports one) once I can afford it. It might be a while with the economy the way that it is but I have patience and in the meantime I can educate myself on this forum.

So what are you all drinking?

Welcome to THE Rolex Forum! I typically drink Corona with lime, Innis & Gunn, or Grey Goose Salty Dogs, but summer is on the way, so I am low-carbing at the moment. No alcohol for me.

Welcome to TRF. I'll have the Macallan. If you don't have that then Jack Daniels will be fine, thanks.

where did my post go? I wrote back to thank you all for the warm welcome?

Oh - this one has come through.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
Now have to decide between GMT IIc, Yachtmaster, or Explorer II - no, I can't afford to have all of them!

Hi Chook,

Welcome TTF.

Hang on, I'll have a look.

Nobilo Regional Collection. Marleborough. Sauvignon Blanc 2008.
From JJ 's neck of the woods (but in the South Island).
www.nobilo.co.nz

This is amazing when you consider that I live in South Australia and work with a lot of the local wineries.

Very nice.

it comes from an old nick-name "Chicken-legs Chan" that my old thai boxing friends gave me. Over the last twenty years, it got shortened to just "Chicken".

The name has negative connotations in most people's minds so it's usually available for forum sign ups!
