No, the guy I knew could never of been called sharp nut even slightly pointy.
If the government ever wanted to make an advert showing the dangers of too much drinking and drugs all they needed to do was get this guy to sit infront of the camera so a minute or two..
Funnily enough he was the guy that found and bought the first batch of Duff beer for us.

Absolutely agree, but for some reason I can't stop watching it....that woman who plays Steph Scully may have something to do it it....

I remember the Duff beer, and I do have 3, 6 packs of it.
I bought a carton from the local RSL club when it came out, around 1996, but I drank 6 of them

I think it was made by Tooheys.
I keep getting tempted to sell it, and still am, but will hang on a little longer.

Interesting to see, the guy that has the 6 pack you metnioned

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/6-Six-pack...PageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Is also the one with the flatbase SE1, who wants overseas bidders to pay by WU

That bargearse was good to watch

Sorry mate, I missed your post

Time to get back on topic

THAT WAS YOU

That's great. What a small world. When I saw it recently I thought "I wonder if it was someone on the forums", as anyone that into it must visit these forums, then I thought "nah, none of a youngins has a collection that big on here that I know of"

Tell me something, in the pic, there was like one of those rocket engines I forget exact name, but it has the wood look around the boiler. Is that an old one?
Mate you gotta get some pics of your collection up

I saw the actual epsiode where they mentioned you got engines sent to you, not the one with you on it unfortunately.

Mate, that is fantastic

That looks to be the one mate. I didn't see the actual episode, but snippets of that one on an epsisode shown later after young mate had been given more engines.

But I recall that rocket engine in the pic (yellow one)

Thinking now, steamyjim, is that pic after you were given engines, or before, cos mate, that's a great collection either way, but especially if it were before you got given some

As I said mate, get some pics up, love to see em

I collect steam engines too!!
Can someone give me a load of rare and collectable engines too.

Talk about a good score SteamyJim, well done.

The yellow train that has a plastic wooden looking barrel is a Hornby Rocket you see them quiet often on ebay, runs on butane.
