It might have been a very short pea-dophile......yeh yeh, sorry, that was bad.....

Yes, I have to agree that was a shocking one. 

The funny thing is the little bastard only ate the peas and left pods everywhere.  At first the missus blamed me, but I'm not silly enough to leave the pods behind, the chooks get those .

Sounds more likely to be possums, they're quite dextrous little buggers.

I thought it could be possums, but they are normally a little taller than whatever it was that stole the peas.  There is a definate line across the trellis where it could reach to.

The only lever action that I've got mate is a single shot Martini 380 Cadet with a hex barrel.
Trying to find ammo for that is like trying to make a fcuken crow stay still. 

You can drop 38 specials into it but that's tempting fate.
At some stage, it got rechambered so she's just one of those sentimental things now.

Mick if you could get some rounds for it  and you managed to nail a crow, there would be #$%* all evidence left

We had a plague of them here a few months back, the rotten mongrels kept pinching the eggs out of the chook pen.  They hammered my chooks for a couple of weeks, then they moved to old Bazzas place up the road.  No one told them to stay away from the retired old bushy's place.  Funnily enough we haven't lost any eggs since.

Geez I had one of those little 310 Cadets mate, what a great little rifle! I recently got rid of all of my guns, but kept my 1861 Snyder Springfield and my Great Great Grandfather's "Ward and Son's" 12 Gauge shotties, they're both so old I don't need a license for them, and a mate can load as much black powder ammo as I need, so it's a "win-win"!

The ex Father In Law gave the Martini to me mate shortly before he passed on.
He gave me a sh1t load of cast lead slugs and cases and primers for it but he warned me to be wary about firing it.
Ol' Stan was a fearless lad and a devil to boot when it came to doing dangerous things.

He was an old school bush boy who loved horses and working hard and doing things the old fashioned way.
I learnt a lot from him and that changed a few of my ideas about how to look out of the window.

Stan was 98 when his time came, and right up until then he wouldn't back off from any fcuka.
Those ol' blue eyes would drill a hole in ya when he got pissed off.

Well, the Gordon Frame Kit is ready to rock 'n roll with the TIG now.
It was a reasonably straight forward job but a bit of pissin' around with measurements and quite a few beers.

The family Doc is going to weld it for me next weekend now that he's got the welding certificate and a brand new TIG.
If he fcuks it up, he's been told that that Valium won't work if I spit the dummy. 

Anyway, what I'd like to know is if the amount of beer required today is within an acceptable limit to install the Gordon Frame Kit. 

[Stev-o]

I'd say so, Mick.  But what are those little Wild Turkey bottles?

Pissed off I don't have any.

Yeah, they look interesting !

That was the "before breakfast freshener" Mick, yeah ? I've got to be right coz you're a tough bunch up there in NT. God help Terry when he gets there.

[Terry in Australia]

I'm #$%*ting myself............ 

[mick7504]

Terry will be fine Kev and we'll do our best to make him feel at home. 
Generally we just have a bit of fun on the weekends although some weekends involve a bit more fun than other weekends.

It's just that when your throat gets dry and parched and cold water doesn't work anymore, there's only one other alternative that I know of. 

[Terry in Australia]

Soap on a rope?

I got some more bad news today, it seems that I'm not going to Darwin for a week............ I'm going for 2 weeks! Woo-fcuking-Hoo! See you next week Mick!

[mick7504]

You beauty. 
Bring a wooly jumper mate.
It hit 8 1/2 degrees out here at Virginia this morning which is unheard of at this time of the year.
Global Warming?
What fcuken Global Warming. 
I wanted to chuck a match in the back paddock to thaw out a bit but the missus wouldn't have it. 

[Terry in Australia]

8.5 degrees is a bit cool Mick, even here in the frozen south! No worries, got plenty of warm clothes, but I'll be packing my shorts and thongs too!

Terry,

I think by "wolly jumper" Mick meant for you to bring your own sheep for warmth at night. He's too miserable to share his.

Kev

[mick7504]

There's only King Brown snakes, big black hairy Mouse Spiders and angry Crocodiles here Kev.
They ate all of the sheep.

To paraphrase my fellow countryman, G.B.Shaw I might venture to describe your neck of the woods thusly : “the pearl of the Beagle Gulf, those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Darwin”.





NOT !

[mick7504]

Awww, it's that bad mate. 
Some may call it one of the last frontiers and we do try real hard not to say swear words.
Sometimes. 

Not that many years ago, I was talking on the phone to someone "down south" who had never been very far away from home for their whole life.
One of their perceptions of Darwin was that we still tied our horses up outside of the pub.
To set the record straight, I politely explained that it was not the case because the horses are usually too pissed and keep falling over.

I must admit that I've only done three or four trips to the NT before, and the latest was in the late 1990's. I was surprised to see that the place I'm staying has 16 floors, last time I was there the tallest building was a 2 storey pub in the mall!

I'm not too unhappy though, every other time I was sleeping in the red dust in Katherine and Nhulunbuy, swimming with fresh water crocs (not on purpose) dodging fcuking Taipans, driving around massive Eagles on the Stuart Highway and trying not to run over too many Abos. Good thing was there were fcuk-all sharks, because the big Saltwater Crocs had eaten them all.

Staying at a place with a bed, running water and a roof will be a real luxury.......

The 2 story pub in the mall was probably Vic Hotel mate.
She's still there and going strong.
It's fairly flash there now with all of the shops and arcades.

Haven't had a beer there for ages.
Better put that on the to do list. 

[petercb750]

I see another person eaten by a croc up there.....you be careful Tez,  don't want you giving those big lizards indigestion......

Don't you mean food poisoning?

Besides, feeding Terry to the crocs could be classified as animal cruelty

[70CB750]

Speaking of lizards, recent catch in Alabama:

[Retro Rocket]

Thats not a lizard, this is a lizard....



This is a replica of a croc shot in the Northern Territory Australia, 28 feet long, weighing around 4,500-5000lbs

What do you shoot it with an RPG?
