Good morning and welcome I'm Australian, the English tell me I don't speak English properly ... at the end of the day as long as we understand each other it pretty much doesn't matter :) Noted, as an Australian we don't have one either; however I prefer this international one. good it was...

pah ... you're an amateur ... you need to take cues from Newarrior or some of the others On this point: best to just keep calm and not get frantic. I know its tempting to get frantic but (well ...) you can't really do anything about it. If it is then you can't change that and if it isn't...
