do you play chess?

[Ghost]

Are we hiring?

Or some one looking for a date?

[Gandalf]

Why didn't I think of posting my CV as an introductory post?

[Andre]

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.

[Mattyhitman]

Welcome Ron

Interesting 1st post, took ya a while to take the plunge hey?

[Gandalf]

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.

[Dark Lord Al]

Welcome Ron , you didnt need an interview to get on here lol
If your threads are crap we will tell you !

[Ghost]

Welcome to the mad house that is Saddo's.













Some one older than me. About time.

[RonPrice]

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

[Snakey]

Ah man are we letting anyone on this forum now? Tasmanians are as bad as the sheep shaggers :P


Welcome buddy, im from NSW hence the tassy jokes ( gotta give you guys shit lol )

[InTheNeutralCorner]

You don't seem to stay long in your job. Laid off or fired?









Just kidding.

Welcome Ron.

[Andre]

And in charge of the maintenance at a tin mine in Zeehan

That was a change from the normal route.

[Master]

Welcome and I will fix you a date.

[RonPrice]

Just dropping by more than 3 months later---as invited. Those job changes have many, many reasons, too long a story to write about here.-Ron
