Re: I Just Joined: Greetings From Tasmania Australia
Are we hiring?
Or some one looking for a date?
Re: I Just Joined: Greetings From Tasmania Australia
Why didn't I think of posting my CV as an introductory post?
Re: I Just Joined: Greetings From Tasmania Australia
Gooday Ron, Im up north from you, we dont get to say that to many people here in Victoria.You are the only thing in between us and the Antarctic.
I love Tassie, spent many months there surfing in my teens. Kind Island too the other year for a few weeks.
Funny thing is On Monday last I sent off a set of boxing tapes to Hamilton ON.
Re: I Just Joined: Greetings From Tasmania Australia
Welcome Ron :welcomesign:
Interesting 1st post, took ya a while to take the plunge hey? :)
Re: I Just Joined: Greetings From Tasmania Australia
And of course welcome like others have said. Just a bit taken aback by reading a resume! It's a very interesting resume/life precis as far as those things go. ;D
Re: I Just Joined: Greetings From Tasmania Australia
Welcome Ron , you didnt need an interview to get on here lol
If your threads are crap we will tell you !
Re: I Just Joined: Greetings From Tasmania Australia
Welcome to the mad house that is Saddo's.
Some one older than me. About time. :cool:
Re: I Just Joined: Greetings From Tasmania Australia
Thanks for all the welcoming notes, folks. Yes, my introductory post is a little over-the-top, as they say; it helps to balance, if balance were necesssary, all the posts about which one learns nothing about the person introducing himself. Life is busy even in retirement, but I hope to come by here occasionally in my late adulthood(60 to 80) and old age(80++), if I last that long.-Ron:cool:
Re: I Just Joined: Greetings From Tasmania Australia
