    Default yet another newby

    Morning all, (well it is here!) yet another newby who's been lurking for a time.
    peterpiper's the name and I've been enjoying reading the threads from y'all.
    I'm an old codger who's trying to find something useful to do to pass the time in his retirement, I've allready learned a lot from this site, some great tips, thanks a bunch.
    Oh yes, I'm from Yorkshire, England, but I'm not going to mention the England rugby league team debacle. (or did I just do that?)
    May the best team win this weekend.

    G'day Pete,

    Just the 13 a side game? We knocked you lot about at Twickers too in real Rugby.

    Don't just stand there and lurk. We want to see your work. These Aussies are not a bad lot. I've been here forty years from the old country and I'm just beginning to introduce soime civilisation hereabouts. But not with this mob. But if you want help and advice they'll pour it out and some of it might just be worthwhile.

    Jerry

    Thanks for the welcome fellows, much appreciated.

    Wheelin, coal carving? not enough coal in yorks now!!! (well, not enough pits)

    Jerryc, real rugby? I do feel sorry for you,
    I met quite a few Ausies whilst in the R.N. back in the far distant past, some Kiwi's too, all good blokes to drink with
    will post some piccies when I've got something worth showing (if only)

    bluegum, (lloyd), only a bit of a kid really, 29 to go


    Ruddy, sure am, yes, I've noticed the advice flowing, have allready learned a lot

    Thanks again guys
    pete

    G´day Peter and welcome to the site.

    Just got off a cruise ship that had a goodly number of Yorkshire folks on board. Had lots of laughs with them and few beers too.
