Where is everyone?

No posts in the last 24 hours.
I know Nancy will be watching tennis,
but where is everyone else? :s

Yesterday I was helping friends prepare for their sons' (twins) 21st birthday party. Last night I went to the party but left shortly after the one young ones were starting to get into yahoo mode -they were just starting a game of beer pong, the aim of which, as far as I can tell is to get all participants (and spectators) drunk. Back today to help clean up.
Otherwise trying to keep my plants alive* in this extra hot weather -very bad when we get the strong, westerly winds. In between taking refuge inside in front of the air conditioner.
Keeping an eye on the forum and have noticed how quite it is lately. I haven't been able to think of anything constructive to post lately.

*I am glad I have a bore because I couldn't afford that exercise buying Council water.

I have been a very good boy cataloging my world banknote collection. I picked up a bunch of German Notgelds a while back and finally sorting through it.
I came across this funny looking one with a giant lobster on it. Why? What the? How?! :huh:

Yes, I too have just been popping in to see what's happening. Have been getting a little bit of sorting done but reorganising much of the house of late under the direction of Mrs Uni so that's been keeping me quite busy. Hoping that normal services will resume as soon as possible. :laugh2:

Nice to know you haven't all fallen off the edge of the world.

I was away in Cairns with family for a holiday.
Have not had much to say - there was no noodling then or since.
Maybe this week? ☺

Goon bad? Is that anything like a goon bag? :taunt: Worked (security) today at the SCG (Australia lost again). Twice I busted members of the barmy army (English cricket fans) with goon bags (the bladders of wine in wine casks). So not at home to cruise ACF but the extra cash comes in handy to buy more coins.

Sorry I haven't posted much recently. I got a new job last month, where I work Monday to Saturday, and have one day off each week for scheduled appointments. Having been unemployed for a while, I'm not used to having so little time for myself, and I'm not sure how to fit my hobbies around it. On the upside, I can now afford to do large amounts of $2 noodling, so I'm hoping to find a lot more of the coloured $2 coins, and add them to my collection. I also went to the Gold Coast yesterday to visit some of the theme parks, so the last week or so has been chock-a-block for me. Hopefully, with Australia Day around the corner, I'll get some more time for coins. :winkextra:

As Steve said, Tennis has been keeping me fairly occupied, but not many Aussies left to watch now, apart from the doubles.

I can't explain why, but I can't stand Nadal, never have liked watching him, also can't stand Sharapova. Maybe they were the first of the really loud 'grunters' to appear, although Sharapova is more of a shriek. I have noticed that she doesn't make any noise while practicing, and I reckon she's trying to put off her opponents in her matches.
However, I will watch them when I know they get beaten. Gives me something to cheer about. Onedown, one to go. :tease:

Yeah,very quiet the last Month or so,hardly any new Posts.
I'm in the same boat as regards time but hope to get back into it later in the year,i still visit almost every day.
Forums need regular Posters to keep it humming along,AJ & Trout used to do that here previously.

Triggersmob · January 22, 2018, 10:24:02 AM

It doesn't take much to get some activity happening in the forum.
I started this thread and look we already have 13 replies.

Nancy, some of the players reckon the grunt is like a kiai from a
martial artist, which they use to put more power in their puches etc,
but as a karateka, I can tell you that it is possible to do silent kiais,
and I which the players would, as it's most annoying.

Goldseeker · January 22, 2018, 11:13:34 AM

I pop in almost every day but unless the topic/subject appeals to me I will not make any comment(s).

In fact, not much excitement at all world wide.
