Got older (never grew up tho ) now play with trains & subs & boats all r/c of course, made a few steam engines.
Did the usual stuff work marriage kids etc look after MIL & don't enjoy the saw joints nature has provided.

Typical Oz,

Looking for beer at ten in the morning. Must be a load of alkies.

It is the only place in the world where you boast about and are proud of your forbears criminal past, everywhere else you would try to keep it a secret
