Welcome to the forum.

Just to let you know, most of the "how to" questions and information is located in the "Construction" section.

You have to watch these crazy guys overseas in the Open Discussion section, many have been out to sea for too long.

Nema problem, welcome I like it too, even if some of the English is a bit tricky sometimes, they also tend to have some strange opinion regarding politicians, Aussies, Americans, English etc...

Just a tiiiiny suspisious against spinish talkin' pople....

A train journey a zillion years ago, two men in the coupe, one Spaniard, me. We talked, and in that coversation we got into telling each other how to greet people in each other's language, I told him "god dag" and that in formal cases Norwegian shakes hand (which is pretty accurate). HE TOLD me... Spaniards always shake hands firmly, and say... "Hijo de puta" (or something like that...)

Needless to say, I spent the next day trying as hard as hell to get out of troubles, train personell, costoms.... If I had been on a boat, I would have been keel hauled, on a train, an issue like that is a bitt more tricky (or at least messy), but I can tell you that some of the people I met considered it.

T, Troy, TeeeRoy, Redneck, - call me what ever.... just DON'T call me "late for supper".

I'm the big fella on the right, one of my children on the left (he's a big football player too).




The Team I am the head coach of - I am the big guy in the center in the back.

Masali, no bling, just some duck calls and goose calls. Heard 'down under', there's no duck hunting..... I'd have to move, I couldn't handle it.

Safewalrus, yep, the real football. I'm a fan of "hand ball" which is a more appropriate name for american football.... played in High School back in the early '80s, but my kids all took to soccer. Totally had me confused, when I started coaching soccer about 10 yrs ago, and took 2 yrs to understand "off sides", but love it and run an agressive offsides trap w/ my team to help shorten the field. Unless the other teams has speed uptop and can get through balls.... then we drop back and play a flat 4 defense.

Better run, I'm on bed rest. seems I picked up phnemonia the otherday, and found out yesterday,

C-ya,
Troy
