I've moved these photo's to a different storage area on Tripod, so hopefully they will work this time.

The long awaited photos of the get together in Sydney are available, and displayed below.

There are some really good ones among them, and some bliddy awful looking ones as well, I’ll let you make you own mind up as to which is which. I hope they work out OK, they arrived as massive files and I have had to trim and reduce them.

Blow up copies of this photo are available at a cost, not of the whole group you understand, just that cleavage on the right hand side

Wake up people, its party day!

Hey Tynedale...do you really think this bench is strong enough.
Of course it is Min.....Gav's not here is he!

Five different shirts, and that’s before the new one came out.

Isn’t that Spanish City in the background?

That remind me Grant, you seen anything of Gav recently!

AND FINALLY
HOW COULD YOU MIN!

Ah, you like the cleavage? I'll send you a close up...

Thanks for them that Nick!....it took me a while to work out the angle and check it wasn't a 'builders bum' wind up......It'll no doubt turn up on this board at sometime or other.....and just when you are least expecting it.....isn't that right Gus......you still wearing that checked shirt?

Now then Nick, how about some identities (no pun intended missed)on the various bods in the photos, and who is partnered with who.....come on, we need to know.

I'll do the honours Ken - the photies are a bit of a mish mash between the Mackems game (ie. the indoor shots) and our demonstration of 'total football' (ahem) down at Coogee Beach. Can I just say how happy I am that I look so dashing ... not!

Top photo left to right are: Lady Tynedale,Min,Tynedale Man,NickRaphael,our mate Andy,Mrs.Sting(well,he DID propose to her didn't he Gav?),Christobel,Sting,yours truly,Clint Eastwood aka.TM's brother,some lass from Hexham whose name I've forgot sorry-Lynne maybe?, Kate(posh Corbridge mate of Lady Tynedale - just joking pet), Viv (sister of Lady Tynedale),mate of TM - also forgotten his name.

Other than that, third photo from top also has L-R: Claire(Pompey- supporting lass of NickR) and Andy's girlfriend + her cousin.

Wish you were all there! Not to mention the fact we could've played more than 3 or 4 a side, and I wouldn't still be hobbling around now with me sore groin.

Still getting little red crosses - just give us the url where you posted them!

The tags for the pics say they're on...

http://magpies2.tripod.com

But I've tried that url and lycos reckons it doesn't exist....tried searching on tripod for magpies but there's 800+ pages and I gave up after about 200....

Come on Ken...give up on crappy tripod and post them somewhere on the dailytoon...

Sorry about this people, but I don't understand what is going on with these. The first attempt on the other thread was done on another Tripod storage area and they disappeatred after a few hours, so I set up a brand spanking new area called magpies2 and it worked fine when I posted, but then they have also disappeared.

When I have tried to reaccess the store, I am now getting the message:
Please Note: magpies2 is no longer an authorized member of Tripod. This Tripod member has been removed because they violated our Terms of Service. For more information, click here. If you feel that there has been a mistake, please contact us at reportabuse.lycos.com

I have E Mailed Lycos to see what the problem is and to find out how I am violating the terms of service......

Alright I know Min and Sting are on some of the photo's but I wouldn't have thought they were considered that offensive!.....but then again........and whilst the aforementioned cleavage is a sight to behold, it's not exactly pornography....well not the one shown above anyway....the second one however is adifferent ketle of fish.

Soon as I know what is going on I'll let you know........Gav as it has already crashed two Tripod storeage area's, I'm not gonna risk the proper Daily Toon area until I know exactly what is going on.

A few weeks ago, I heard that one of the major free webspace providers had done a mass purge of websites to rid themselves of 'porn'. In the process deleted thousands of innocent user accounts, including some home businesses. Can't remember the details as to whether it was a software bug or human error, but Tripod sounds familiar so maybe that explains it? Kinda.

-- Anonymous, May 03, 2001

Point taken Ciara, but I only set up the magpies2 site last night, uploaded the seven photo's, which is all that's now in there, and then copied the URL's here for display.

When I first set it up, and for about 6 hours after it worked fine, and people could see the pics, but then it 'dumped' it.....the same thing happened the previous night on another Tripod site with the same photo's.

I'll wait and see what Tripod say when they come back.

My website is on Tripod and I had a load of trouble a couple of weeks back with pages disappearing as I was trying to edit them. Took me ages to get everything sorted, lucky I'm not too busy at work at the moment!

Ken the pics aren't gonna crash the DT site....the problem you have is that TRIPOD is SHIT.....

There are automated purges that seek and destroy images that contain a certain %age of human skin pigmantation.

Is that what happended to Micheal Jackson Bobby?

-- Anonymous, May 04, 2001

That's more than likely what it will be Bobby.....

Does anyone have some proper web space they could stick the pics on?

I'll be setting up a big web-photo album of NZ and OZ but not til i get back in the summer. Rik?

We were out for beers last night in Surrey Hills and Lady Tynedale's got some much better photos of the BBQ at Coogee Beach. Hopefully i can get some copies and scan those at some point unless young Nick can oblige....?

ITK

How big are the images ?

I've got some Freeserve space that I think will fit them if they're not too big - email them to my normal email (not this one) and I'll do what I can.

josh - the originals are about 500k each. i'd re-size them but haven't got access to my laptop and Photoshop at the mo...bah! cheers for the offer.

-- Anonymous, May 05, 2001

Josh - I've cropped them and resized them a little bit, so will try and send them to you. Do oyu want them all in one E Mail or in seven different E Mails to speed them up a bit?

Also, I haven't got your other E Mail address, when I had to change my hard drive I lost my whole address book and have been trying to recreate it all since.....have managed most but I'm still missing some. E mail me at the hotmail address below and I'll send the photo's to you.

BTW Gav: it wasn't so much the DT site I was worried about crashing, but all our site photo's etc are also on the Tripod system, so didn't want to knacker that one.

There's no reason why anybody shouldn't be able to access it. Try :-

this is the real URL - the other one is a subdomain of www.hepples.co.uk whatever one of them is. Note that its case sensitive I think.

It was one of them 'fake' shirts that Nick Raphael bought - wasn't it Nick? Or maybe it was a shirt i borrowed off Gav. Either that or Don Hutchison's got even uglier. Can't quite remember the Toohey's was that good...
