Well, we all have our hobbies ;) What's really scary though is @Squankum 's poster : I never knew you could actually catch Syphilis from a lathe, I just thought at worst I might lose a finger, not "something" !!!!! :yikes:

Haven't seen him for a decade or three but way back then I had a "Gym Buddy" whom I met whilst training -heck of a nice bloke , he was the biggest womaniser and obviously oh so charming and I do think "a bad boy". He was pretty much more Vinny Jones than Brad Pitt in the looks department but...

Nice. Very few know this, but those safety boots are fire rated , standard issue for a lot of fire departments in Aus ;)

Haha, well I used to live across the road from a nursing home and would often see the more mobile residents out and about for a walk up or down the streeet. My favourite reply to my usual passing greeting of "Good morning, how are you today ?" was: "Well Greg , at least I'm on the right side of...

Yeh, I get it. It's like the way the rest of Australia looks at Victorians. Oh....wait ... /jokes Yes, I do understand you are going in Autumn, have had family living there, silly joke on my part, of course you will be OK :) Have a great time !!!

Yes, and I do apologise if this is misconstrued , but EVERY Canadian I have met is just like us Aussies, (although, admittedly some do have a strange French accent). But, C'est la vie ! Years ago my girlfriend and I were snowed in at Perisher, literally had to shovel out the car ( this is like...

My hat is off to you, sir. I will aspire, if the same future reveals itself to me, to mirror your attitude to the incongruity that exists- that any of us who managed to survive the planet's wars, famines and Covid this century (at least) , can then to fall victim to a bunch of wayward cells...

I planned ahead and put together a few more updates that I'll post. I knew I'd be busy. At the moment, I don't have much time to read any other threads. We've started the process of selling our home in Darwin, one in Brisbane and one on the Sunshine Coast, plus there are the eight cars...

Actually Rian, if anyone should apologise, it is me. This is your thread, who am I to get on my high horse ?

And therein lies the problem. No worries , I will leave it at that, but why do people think it is so funny to make fun of others ? You quoted a serious post from someone and made fun of their location. OK, this is the internet so there are no longer any gentlemanly rules. Got it !

Not cool. Mate, I have to call you out on this.

Thank you ! I couldn't work out how to say that . Hats off to Grizz and we can't be the only two who have seen through this....hugely ( LOL ) blatant showing off. Just sayin' @Grizz1963 : busted !

Oh, apologies I might have come across the opposite of what I was intending! Mate of course you need to use chemicals unless you want to hand weed 24/7 in some organic farm hippie thing ( not that there is anything wrong with that ) Glyphosate has been implicated, then un-implicated, then...

Bear in mind I have no experience with this online dating stuff- but jeez some of my mates certainly do :giggle:, my take on that ad was someone saying " not here for a quick bonk, I want something meaningful and fulfilling, looking for a long term relationship" Did I read that wrong ??? She...

Well if your contractor was spraying glyphosate and you have fish in your dam then there is indeed reason for concern ! I like your weed strategy, there is plenty of room to maintain your sanity -and even better if it works :)
