[Elton Johns Wig]

From what I have seen Elton Johns Wig you hit the cellar regardless if you have hit any mark

Not that I am criticizing because it was behavior like this that made you a Premiership Ruckman, hopeful some of your behavior has rubbed off on TRUMAN#1 and he will hook in at Kittens and maybe just maybe reach your rucking heights

If he wants to recover from the depths to which he has plummted, he needs to change his name.......again

 

[Pugsley]

I like your recovery program Pugs - IN!

It works

 

[ShaunDuggan]

Once ShaunDuggan gets him to the Furies he won't be talking to anyone anyway.

That's a pass from the Furies.

Carry on.

I just watched TRUMAN#1 at the Hippodrome going through his ruck training, it could be awhile before he gets back to his rucking best

watching TRUMAN#1 ruck is exciting like....

 

[DenieD]

except DenieD as he has not apologized for his disgraceful behavior at our S35 B&F,
if he tries to engage with you please ignore him until he has rectified his wrong

It was S34 B&F

I haven't even played 1 game of Qooty with this username.

You just watch I have the SIM and Qooty gods fooled.

 

[TRUMAN#1]

You just watch S39 is my season.

 

[Tigerturbulance]

I tried to wipe it from my mind so agree I got it wrong and stand corrected


see its not that hard to admit you are wrong

Never hit a man with glasses - a cricket bat is far more effective.

Tuesday’s training followed by ‘pie night’ got a bit out of hand.

Lol! That's been on my youtube homepage for a week, I'm determined to not watch it because the thumbnail is so cringe.

this was more than fascinating Brak... it was also educational

Postie - Definitely watch this if you have any interest in Steam and/or how things work. It really is awesome.

10 year old Mrs T had discussions with grandfather about how is it possible that such a heavy piece of equipment can be pushed by water... and more importantly we argued lots over 'how does a straight engine stay on curved tracks ?' and I'd even use his model trains to demonstrate how 'its not possible!'


Years later, I'm at a Steam Fest in Maitland (near where we live) arguing discussing the same points with one of the show exhibitors.

If only they had this video back then - they could have just said 'equalisers' and saved lots of time.

I have also had the privilege of being a stoker (for a bit) and driven a 38 class - well I got to sit in the drivers seat for a few moments while travelling - that's gotto count!

Fond memories Braklet - thanks for sharing mmmwwwaahhh

 

[Over The Post]

Shit, that was nearly 30 years ago now Me and my 5" gauge steamer.



That was at Korumburra around 2005, a full day driving experience. Did shunting and drove the goods train from Korumburra to Leongatha and back.



And this was me in 1979, driving a two-week-old DF around the loop on an excursion.

Back then I was a volunteer at the Glenbrook Vintage Railway in Auckland, and spent most weekends in the workshop or on passenger duties and occasionally firing one of the two steam locos.

 

[Braklet]

Closest I've been to working steam locomotives is Travel Town:

Travel Town Museum

Caveat: none of the commercial locos ran when I've been there, but I always found all the valves and levers and mechanical goodness absolutely fascinating. That's why I enjoyed the YT vid.

Although I'd ridden the miniature steam train ride a few times years ago. So OTP's pic of the miniature loco stuck in my head.

 

[Tigerturbulance]

Has been a great pre-season training week with the whole team back and working hard as we make our launch on our 3rd premiership cup in only 6 seasons.

Time to relax now in the Maximus Turbous Bath House and enjoy all the privilege's that come with being Old Boy's.

Don’t get me started on steam engines, as I will bore you to tears.

PS. I think Michael Portillo has one of the best jobs possible.

I LOVE STEAMFEST

I’m the sort of guy who will go to steam events and historic airshows while overseas.
If there happens to be a brass band playing while I’m looking at steam locomotives - even better.

I guess The Fates knew what they were doing when they made me an OOB.

That looks like a North Eastern M1 class to my untrained eye. (Which became the D17s)
