Hello Brewers who have helped me to get to this stage of my brewing:

I will perform my first all grain act on Sunday, with a famous Dr.Smurto GA.

I will try and get many photos, create a fantastical post showing my failings and misinterpretation of learnings, and much enjoyment will be had my all readers of this forum.

Wish me luck!

It snowed today! WTF is going on?


P.S. If you would like some mild afternoon entertainment on a very windy day grab one small child approx 5 years old (preferably a boy), one typical rectangle trampoline (not one of those new round ones with safety nets), one large sports type umbrella, one viewing deck and comfy chair.......far out, he had has much fun as I did watching. Definately recommend it. You may have to retrieve said items from surrounding bushes on occasion :lol:

Cheers

New Golfing Laws

The Government acknowledges the danger Golf Clubs pose to the community and wishes to reduce harm by these deadly weapons, therefore we will be bringing in new legislation to protect the public.

Starting next month we will be introducing a Golfers Licence and Golf Club registration system.

Members of the public who wish to apply for a Golfers Licence must join an approved Golf Club, after providing 2 character references from people who are not relatives and have known you for more than twelve months. The applicants must consent to a police background check and pay the annual fee nominated by your club.

Applicants must complete an approved Golfing Safety Course at their own cost, and be a member of a club for at least 6 months before applying for their Golfing Licence. During this time they are obviously not allowed to own their own clubs.

Applicants must also meet the required storage requirements for golf clubs, which is a solid steel container that is bolted to the structural framework of a building (good luck getting that one past your landlord) or a solid steel container weighing more than 150kg. If the licence application is successful this storage facility will be regularly inspected by police. Licenced Golfers must store all golf balls seperate to their golf clubs. Any person caught storing golf balls with their golf clubs will be charged with an offence and have their licence revoked.

On submitting all the relevant documents to the licencing dept applicants must also provide fees of $79 for the application and $210 for the five year licence.

If the applicant is successful in their licence application they will be allowed to apply for a permit to aquire a Golf Club. As the new golf club registration system will cost money to administer there will be a fee of approximately $20 for each permit application. If the Golfer wishes to buy a club from another Golfer rather than a licenced golf club dealer they must have the sale brokered through a dealer and pay the dealer a fee. These permits are expected to take approximately 6 weeks to process, this 6 weeks will not be included in the mandatory 28 day cooling off period, therefore Golfers can select a club they wish to purchase and be golfing with it within 8 months.

In the first 12 months of having a Golfers licence, the Golfer is permitted to own 1 putter (cat A) and 1 wedge (cat B ) or 1 putter (cat A) and 1 iron (cat C). A wood will be considered a prohibited club and must be sold back to the government for a price the government has nominated.

In order to maintain their Golfers Licence, Golfers must complete a minimum of six club attendances per year, these attendances must all be competitions organised by your club. Golfers who hold more than 1 category of club must complete at least four club attendances per category of club they own, at least six attendances must be competitions organised by you club the remainder may be practice sessions. Golfers who fail to meet the required number of attendances per year will be asked to show cause why their licence should not be cancelled and their clubs confiscated by police.

The new legislation will also place a maximum on the number of balls that may be stored in a ball bucket at any 1 time. Ball buckets must be of a size so as not to allow more than 10 balls to be hit before refilling the bucket. Golfers are reminded that these changes are to make the community safer and not to inconvenience golfers.






If this all sounds a bit rediculous to you, spare a thought for the countrys' licenced shooters who jump through more hoops than a circus dog to enjoy their sport and only get a good headline when they win an Olympic Gold Medal


tried to start a new thread for this but can only do fast reply for some reason :(
 
Attempt 2... :)

Short notice, but I'm going to be in the fair city of Melbourne on Tuesday and Wednesday night this week, staying at Southbank. Anyone keen for a beer? Happy to grab a cab to somewhere to catch up. I know midweek is a prick, so not expecting too much. Will catch a lot of you guys at ANHC in a couple of weeks anyways I'd expect...

cheers... :beer:
 
Took the family to the Teddy Bear's Picnic today.
That first beer when we got home was deadset awesome.
I dunno how many other guys here are subjected to kids shows, but the Lazytown stage act was shite. No backflips, No half pikes, no summersaults. Not even a bloody cartwheel. Even my 4yo daughter wasn't impressed.

Perhaps they've taken a truth in advertising course?
