Any antipodeans?

[davidpom]

Either we have no antipodeans here, or no-one reads this far down the lists of forums.

I'm in New Zealand and Australia regularly (currently). Any fellow kiwi players here with stories to share? Or Aussie players?

A thread with no meat is like a girl with no b**bs.

Excellent. It would be a tragedy to be the sole representative in these parts.

If you read -"The Pro's Guide to Spanish 21 and Australian Pontoon" by Katarina Walker -- you'll come to understand that the Pontoon game available Down Under is a much better game than the Blackjack available there.

This is a private printing.
It is brilliantly written,
