...how much exactly?

I'm looking at subscribing and it just occurred to me I don't know for SURE how much a subscription is. $19.95 is meaningless unless you know what currency you're talking about.

So, I'm guessing we're part of the worldwide assumption that the internet is owned by America? That tends to be the usual, but it would be nice to know for sure before I hand over my hard-earned Australian cash.

Well, the OZ$ is pretty good nowadays...about 75 cents to a US$. Welcome to a fellow ozzie!

Yeah, it's done in US currency.

I've found this site very handy: ttp://www.aussieholidays.net.au/audconvert.html

The subscription will cost you just under 28 aussie dollars. And might I say, it's worth every cent. 😉

Ooh ooh OOOH!!!!

I think you might want to wait until I've established whether I can play decently before inviting me into clans and so on. Or is that not a consideration?

Plus I don't drink beer. 😳😉

PS Dylan, three cheers for our home town!

This site is run from America, but managed by Brits. A long distance relationship that works. 🙂

As for using US$ - you don't need to travel too far to realise it is the closest thing to a global currency these days.

Anyway, this is the site I always use for currency conversions :

A pity about the beer thing. You would have enjoyed being part of the clan.

I imagine you'd be a little warmer than I am now. The only thing keeping me alive is my electric blanket.

yep, the weather's pretty fine up here - sunny nearly everyday -can't find a beach anywhere though. i'll be passing through Canberra sometime in the coming weeks - how about an OTB game, if you're not too busy?

Of course, David. I'm always up for a game. Let me know when you're in town.


P.S. A word to the wise: pack a jumper.
