I always liked the idea of white Christmasā but then kicking back with a cold beer watching cricket and having water fights with the kids is pretty good!
ā¦not least the Guardians World Map![]()
A lot of those competitive eaters seem to be on the slim side![]()
Pull up a stone Ken!Thank you for the warm welcome. And thank you to everyone else too. Iāve been watching this forum for a bit. Checking out everyoneās knives, just reading their stories and sharing their lives. I found this group pretty interesting. I donāt know if I have much to share. But. Iām here now.
Thanks again,
Ken

Another fantastic pic Steve
A glimpse of Christmas in Australia was a highlight of British TV in the 60's, everyone was looking for their Auntie Sheila or Uncle Bob down on the beach, while they waited for the possibility of the annual 2 minute phone call!Iāve always known, of course, that your winters were our summers and vice versa, but I never really thought much about Christmas being a summer holiday there until I watched Bluey with the kids.![]()
Do your duty Guardians! WE're never going to take over the entire world without a map!Whatās that?
Seriously, I havenāt looked at or messed with that thing in quite a while. There are probably more than a couple folks active here now who should be added to it.
LOL!Belly Buster, indeed. Assuming thatās meant to be a breakfast, they couldāve also gone with ānap inducer.ā![]()
LOL!I understand the explanations for why that makes them better at competitive eating, I just donāt understand how they stay that way.![]()
He's put on weight since that photo was taken!When is he due? Must be twins!!!
Hope not, he'll bloody eat them!!!When is he due? Must be twins!!!
LOL!I was slim until I was 50, and could eat like a horse well into my 40's. Wolfie is still like that. Different metabolisms I guess. Now (I'm a Fat Basket) I struggle to eat a third of what I could as a teenager!

Good for you my friend!Don't I know it! Now when I go out with my wife we frequently get one meal and split it, and I am satisfied with that. Fortunately I'm still only ten pounds heavier than when I was 18 (late '70s), but it takes work to stay that way.
LOL!Thanks again, Jack! Photographing a lamb and a phone, as opposed to photographing a lamb with a phone, is entirely uncharted territory for me!![]()

Thanks a lot Steve, they seem to think I'm in reasonable shape, but may have angina.I hope all goes well and you get a good report![]()
Good for you SteveI'm also blessed with a good metabolism and I try not to overeat. I weigh the same as I did when I was in my teens at around 165 pounds, give or take a pound here or there.
I'm off to see the Cardiologist in the morning,
Yes my friend hope all goes well.I hope all goes well and you get a good report![]()
