Favourite Actress Nicole Kidman (are there any other actresses?). Couldn't believe my luck when we walked into Madam Tausaud's on Victoria Peak and there she was. I looked at my wife and she said get over then. Got an Album full of pics before my wife said, "get your hands off her before we get kicked out" I drive a Holden Commodore SSV and Support the West Coast Eagles, The Gold Coast Titans and the Hobart Hurricanes. BTW Welcome Max, officially its 39 degrees here at the minute but my outdoor thermometer says 43 degrees in the shade. Hopefully it\u2019s too hot for the pinheads and their matches.

Guest Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Good post idea Nick. [happy] Recent pic of what I like to do when I'm not brewing/drinking. [biggrin] I'm 42, an upholsterer by trade & have worked in the retail liquor industry for the past 13 or so years. I have good IT knowledge & have designed programs etc. for non-profit on & off over about the same period. If you own a Holden built between 1993-2000, there is a 50% chance that I contributed part of the build of it. [rightful] As far as female actresses go, Angelina Jolie does it for me. [wink] Of my many faults, at least being a Collingwood supporter isn't one of them! [whistling (Sorry AdamH [tongue] ) Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Good post idea Nick. [happy] Its always good to know a little about those we chat to.

rossm Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 ...ahh Anthony, I see you like to catch bait when you are not drinking...[innocent] I'm almost 60, spent pretty much all my life knocking around the bush, grew up on the Eyre Peninsula at a place called Buckleboo...which is supposed to mean "land of the death adder" on a wheat and sheep farm, did an electrical apprenticship and have been travelling around the bush ever since. I spent a year working underground in a gold and copper mine as a maintenance sparky, did a bit of truck driving, had a go at opal mining at Mintabie and Coober Pedy...unsuccessfully I might add but have spent the last twenty odd years running around the Territory wiring blackfella houses and more recently installing and maintaining water infrastructure on blackfella communities. I have just sold my business and am about to move to Port Lincoln in SA, I also hope to catch bait as a hobby....I am hoping I might get some mummy and daddy ones as well...[cool] I have been brewing for about 18 years with mixed success, my brewing is generally pretty reliable these days though and I am looking forward to getting to Pt Lincoln and getting started again!

You're spot on with the "Bait fish" quote. However, where I go (more regularly), I can safely 'hang one over the side' & dip my foot in it without looking, & know it will still be there when I finish & look back! [lol] Try that out off the shores of Lincoln once too often & don't be surprised if "IT" ain't there when you look back one day! [lol] The fishing gets better the further around to the west you go around the peninsula as you would well know. I have a couple of mates that go over to Cow fairly regularly, & I plan to head around with them next time they go. Looking forward to it. [biggrin] Nice to know you are amongst us on the forum Rossm. [happy] Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hot enough for ya??? 43 here right now Lynton here; brand new to the forum. AKA: Max, Mad Max, Mack, Macka but my friends call me Shitfa Been poking about checking out recipes, the label maker and such and stumbled into this pit of filth and thought it suited me just fine. 40 years old. Living in Adelaide but working all over the place. Married for at least 15 years (not exactly sure, feels longer) and have 3 kids. The old man told me that to get a job doing the work nobody else wants to do but has to have - plumbing, garbo, etc. I manage databases and IT stuff in Mining and Exploration doing the work the drillers, drivers, fieldies and other crew don't want to do. It means I travel a lot so my brew stocks are always up and down. The wife and tin lids bought me a second fermenter for Xmas so I can do 2 brews at a time when I'm home. I have an older style Coopers kit I picked up for $20 at a market - still in wrapping with it's original VHS tape. Now I've got the new kit as well with the Krasen collar. So, a new lease on brewing life! Time to get serious! After Xmas I was completely out. Now I have 60 longnecks bottled (Lager and Dark Ale) and a stout in the barrel. Given the heat I've got the fermenter sitting in the laundry trough full of water - 26C. Bloody heat wave... welcome max have you got the frozen softdrink bottles in the tub and wet towell round the tub??? theres a good thread on here STC1000...you may be interested in reading that also mate, cheers Nedg thats about as scientific ill get...BUT truly theres some awesome help on here....stick with it mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossm Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 G'day Anthony, yeah I am guessing you mean "Cowell", I used to fish there about twenty five or thirty years ago, it is the closest coast to Buckleboo, we did catch some pretty big fish there back then. Yeah, I am quite well aware of the noahs around Lincoln, but I tend to stay in the boat if they promise to stay in the water. I don't mind fishing off the beach a bit too, less chance of catching anything too big, but pretty relaxing, and lets face it, after spending most of my life in the desert....any fishing is good fishing! I have done a bit of fishing in the top end over the last twenty years too, no sharks up there to worry about...crocs got 'em all! I do have a look about on here from time to time, but for some reason the site started to forget me and now I have to log on every time, so I don't bother unless I have something to say!

Guest Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hi GregT5. Big call there Anthony...wearing that hat I'm guessing you're one of the "Chardonnay Sipping" brigade? [tongue] It's gonna be enjoyable watching us wipe the floor with you guys this year. [biggrin] yeah I am guessing you mean "Cowell" Sorry for the spelling. Put that down to never having been there yet & my current BrendanS8 & Golden Ale Clone induced state. [lol] I do have a look about on here from time to time' date=' but for some reason the site started to forget me and now I have to log on every time, so I don't bother unless I have something to say![/quote'] People with your brewing experience are rare, & the group here on the forum is constantly changing & evolving. Your views & knowledge would be a welcome addition into the current mix. I for one would enjoy more input from you, if secondary to shaming me with your fishing prowess! [biggrin] I look forward to more of your posts. [happy] Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT5 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Sorry, to disappoint you Anthony, but I'm not one of the "Chardie Set" either.
