G'day all..

Thought it'd be polite to introduce m'self...

My names Harry, married, 3 kids, daughter 21, 2 boys 14 & 9,
and all are keen on fishing & boating..

I've enjoyed fishing as long as I can remember, owned a dozen odd
boats over 30+ years, (timber/glass/alloy), acquired my first
dinghy when I was still at primary school, and it's been a hobby
ever since. (obsession, she calls it)

Age? (I think I belong to the "what the f**ks an IPod" generation)

I can get cranky & argumentative at times, have no time for fools,
and totally believe that if you're gonna spend $$, time & effort in
doing something, ...bloody well do it properly...

I'm a rookie with this internet thing, only started browsing earlier this year, so be patient if I stuff anything up.

I've retired from the workforce, ;D ;D

so I keep busy, choosing the better days to head out ;D
to the reefs to soak some bait, and renovating our old house
when the winds unkind.
(hasn't it been a good snapper season this year)

Anyhow, this is probably too much info, sorry to rabbit on,
but I look foreward to whatever, meeting and chatting with
other like-minded members..

(I'll finish the profile section as soon as I work it out)

Harry..

Welcome to Ausfish Harry. :)

[HarryO]

Thanks, I feel like one of the family already...
sorry for not responding sooner,
this is the first chance I've had to log back on.
(still on dial-up) ::)

Baldyhead, the poison used to be Austin Nicholls finest,
but the pill-prescribers frowned and shook their heads
and fingers, :'( so now its cups of tea, de-caf coffee,
and sugar-free/caf-free coke & pepsi.......

(still sneak a couple every now and then, tho ;) )

Crestcutter, I live at Cannon Hill, about 3 min drive from the
Colmslie boat ramp, ;D and 15 min from Manly ;D ;D

Kev, honest, ;) the bark is much worse than the bite,
but I promise I'll try to keep the tongue in its sheath...

Harry...

[HarryO]

.....and just another addenum to the prior post,
reading back thru it, I thought I'd clarify that
I'm not retired due to age, rather health reasons.....

Thanks again,

Harry...

[rodbender]

Welcome 2 ausfish Harry
cheers reg.

[rabbitohbill]

You seem like you have a bit of spirit & a few laughs in you. Enjoy yourself. [smiley=computer.gif] [smiley=argue.gif]

[roz]

Welcome to Ausfish Harry,

Hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I have ( and not too many floggings).

Regards Roz

[theoldlegend]

Welcome to the site Harry!! ;D

I'm sure you'll have fun. Some of us are insomniacs, some are, well, shall we say, different, and others are just plain good people. Some of us have even been accused of having OCD!

Anyway, welcome aboard!!

TOL

PS: did you know that when you fill your car, it's very important to get an exact amount of litres into the tank, such as 50.00 litres or 60.00 litres? It's just something you have to do. Oh, and you always go to the same servo and always to the same pump.

[Volvo]

Welcome onboard Harry n enjoy your stay as i'm sure you will :)..
Cheers

[Nugget]

Austin Nicholls finest


You do have to watch that stuff - I know another bloke that drinks lots of Boubon and his leg fell off. Now he tries to substitute it with big long fish.

Welcome

Dave ><>

[wewak1111]

Graeme

[szopen]

Welcome,

Did anybody warn you regarding the addictive nature of this place?

If not than consider yourself warned.

[Louis]

Welcome aboard Harry

It is always nice to welcome a new player to the site.



Louis

[HarryO]

Thanks Bill,

yeah, the spirits still there. (2nd shelf, behind the flour jar)

Roz, theres nothing like a good flogging to lift the morale...

TOL, it took me a while to work out what OCD was, could'nt
find it in the dictionary, googled it, phoned all my friends,
asked everyone in the street,........
Don't know what you're talking about....

Thanks Dave, you've given me a whole new perspective
on getting legless....
glad I slowed down when I did!

Szopen, thanks for the warning, mate.
I'll keep an eye on the input levels..
what do you think is a safe limit??

and thanks to all again, lookin foreward to RSI.
(from typing, that is)

Harry..
