Joined, typed in a few words expecting to disappear into the ether and Lo, somebody noticed!
Thanks everyone for the welcomes. Yep I am old, but not that old, started young and still going (at the moment, never can tell..... )

Remember to share those ol'tales when you had to ride a bike made of wood with stone wheels, guzzling a fuel substitute made of fermented possums and using a coal miners helmet for night riding!

Welcome to the forum and watch out for the dung hitting the oscillating machinery at times!

Mainland... is that Australia?

What do you mean trolling

Oh and welcome Beemer, enjoy the entertainment. A lot of the time you don't have to do much but sit back and enjoy the mud slinging
