Title: Giveaway for April 21, 2012
Post by: Batz on April 14, 2012, 10:53:37 PM
OK here's the April 21 giveaway, the winner can pick one of these three lots. I'm in Australia but I will of course ship internationally.


Lot one is four "Lister" Made in England wreches. The two wrenches in the middle are the same.

Lot two is a mix of unmarked pressed type wrenches, perhaps bike wrenches?

Lot three is three "Sidcrome" Made in Australia ring spanners, also one "Pope" Made in Australia pressed wrench.

Brewing is going well Brian, here's my latest lager. Full mash, all grain,  Australian lager and drinking very nicely under our warm aussie sun, picture taken from my decking.

Maybe he can put a couple on another giveaway!  I'll join you to get rid of them.
Meanwhile, toss my name in the hat too. 

What part of Oz are you in?  Spent a month in Victoria a few years back, and have
the fondest memories of the land and the people I met.

So only seven in the hat?

I thought I would use this random number selecting site:

I don't have enough tennis balls for Banjo to select a winner.

Glad you liked them cobber. :-)

QuoteAustralian colloquialism meaning "mate" or "friend", but not necessarily in the literal term. Can be used to address a stranger in leiu of "Hey, you there!" or "Hey, kid!" in a more friendly manner. As the word's been used since the earliest Colonial settlements of Australia, many Aussies mistakenly believe the word is archaic and no-longer used. In actuality, it's simply slightly less understood then more generic forms of greeting (such as "mate").

"G'day, cobber."
"G'day, mate. How're ye doin'?"

Little joke between amertrac and I. :-)
