REgards Lou:D

well i did find that out sometime after i adopted this avatar, but i didnt steal it from tankstand nor did i know of its history until after i had adopted it. also it seems tankstand caved in to the vocal minority and removed it whereas i stood my ground and posted signatures justifying my use of it such as "This avatar represents what we are all striving for in our woodwork - beauty, proportion and functionality". i didnt cave in at the first reddie i received for using it, or the second or third. I hung in there and defended my right to use it. And still nearly 12 months later here i am still defending it :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Still, tankstand can have the glory if you so insist, ive never been into glory, my motto has always been "its amazing how much you can get done when you dont care who gets the credit for it"http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon14.gif

It shouldn't be about whose is the best. Afterall, none of us created them, we just copied them from somewhere else and stuck them on here to use.

It's about whose is the most recognisable or whose fits best. Like Midge's for instance. If he changed, it just wouldn't seem the same.

One of the main avatars which i think isn't at all appropriate or fits the least with his real life persona is Cliff's :D :D :D He must have cut and pasted that one from www.uglymugs.com :D :D

There have been more since then... (I think?)

You had better watch out... WA is on the list with Tas & NZ for future holidays... I might just rock up on your doorstep with a carton of Tooheys Old, half a dozen bottles of Red & $10 worth of chips looking for a bed. :D
PS. I like Pizza... If you are real lucky, I might stop & pick one up on the way from the airport.

PPS. They make me fart.

Okey, We are having homemade pizzas tomorrow night...I was going for a big T bone but got the evil eye :o ... Haven't touched Old since I got my pallete around Coopers Pale Ale...although I still go a 6 pack of TO for a Wallaby Game.

that stuff smells funny:(

Iain

14th April 2006, 11:56 AM

Thats because it is the closest thing to a real beer that a commercial brewer makes, in Oz anyway.
I much prefer my own, I know whats in it, and more to the point, whats not in it.

Waldo

14th April 2006, 12:02 PM

G'day Ian,

Have you tested your homebrew in all conditiions? Hot, cold, with hot and ugly barmaids, in different chairs etc. Only then can you know it's agreat beer. :D

All homebrew is good, just ask the maker:D

Carlton black is as good, if not better than Toohey's Old, but that's jusy my opinion:cool:

Normell

Cliff Rogers

14th April 2006, 12:35 PM

Carlton Black is good but Tooheys Old is easier to find & therefore usually cheaper.

vsquizz

Bewdy, a successful hijack..looks like not too much has changed. I like the Coopers Dark Ale too but best of all is Newcastle Brown on tap.

How's the shed (err... new avatar :D ) going?

But they do become prettier after a few, so it must be OK:D :D :D
Maybe I should sell my recipe to Max Factor of MFKL fame, feminile division;)

:D :D

Awww Cmon, give me a break...I have been spending a little time on forums related to work not play...which makes Squizz a dull boy. The old shed got morphed into a new one...with fullcab, A/C, auto bucket levelling, hydraulic quick attach etc etc (the bells and whistles).

We are going to a P/L and looking to secure a commercial site with a big shed....and hopefully I can tack a smaller shed on the side...for recreation. And we are chasing another new truck...etc etc...I'm actually looking to downsize our operation and sub a lot of the work. The bigger we get the less time of have and that sucks. Smarter not harder is the current catch cry.

Here the new shed....we liked the old one but...well, we get in her a lot....rode the guts out of her and then traded her:rolleyes:
