New to the boards

Nathan123 · 04-16-2007, 01:23 AM

Hi all,
I joined these boards a few days ago and just noticed this introduce yourself part, so i thought i would introduce myself.

My name is Nathan, i live in Queensland Australia. but i grew up in New South Wales, my family has always lived on the land. Dad moved us to the city (Newcastle) when i was a kid but the rest of the family stayed farming, my grandfather, uncles ect. So all my spare time was spent there. I fired my first shot when i was 5 yrs old, and been hooked ever since.

When i left school i went to work on my uncles 6500 acre cattle property for a year and a half, then went to work as a plant operator, dozer, loader, excavator, compactor and dump trucks. I did that until 3-3-05 when i was riding to work and had a loaded semi trailer pull across 7 lanes of traffic in front of me, i went under the back wheels of the trailer. Now 2 years on im not too far off trying to return to work, and still love my hunting just as much, just at a bit slower pace these days and not as much walking.

Anyway thats a bit about myself, hope to see you all round the boards, Nathan.

lol, nah not calling you a booger.

Used like that it means 'people'. It can also be used if someone says: What have you been doing? or how much was that? you would say bugger all, meaning 'not much'
or
if you hit your finger with a hammer instead of saying 'ah s**t' you could say 'ah bugger' like a polite way to swear.

Us Aussies have lots of words that can be used 10 different ways, most of the time without really having a meaning at all, lol.

ArkansasHunter · 04-22-2007, 08:23 AM

Nathan123 I WUZ just messin wid ya, us hilbilys hera in Ark. haz a lot of words that don't make a lota since, ask my CUZ. (I'll omit his name cause he thanks we'is conspiring agaist him)

Anyway I hope your enjoying Gun and Game as much as I do, and you know, I thought I knew a little about hunting firearms, man was I wrong. I'm learning about guns now and other kinds that I was never really interested in.
I now have a long list of guns that I would love to own, if I just had a couple 100,000.00 dollars to buy them....A.H
