If you are going to hate me you may as well do it properly

[Col.Coleman]

Inspired by my recent find, and the olive drab green colour of a few forum members (well Shonky), I may as well make you all really hate me.:D:D

I am a pretty ordinary looking bloke. In fact so ordinary I don't even get the "boy, he's ugly!" comments. At least then I would know somebody noticed me.

But what I do possess is a knack for obtaining desireable objects.

Now I know some womens libbers might jump up and down about my first find, but believe me I DON'T treat this one as an object(well not all the time:p:p).

The find of a lifetime just happens to be my absolutely gorgeous wife. The most important thing is the person inside is far more beautiful than she is on the outside. She is the most caring, supportive and understanding women on the planet period.(she has to be to put up with me). She has given us the most beatutiful kids and does a fantastic job of raising them and instilling them with morals and principles. I probably don't deserve her, but hey, I'm not letting go.

The woman in question.

Now on top of all this, Wifey also came with some added extra's. A house, a convertable BMW, soft top landcruiser and "Xena"

This is Xena

When I can I will also dig out my bikes and show you them.

Now my recent run of luck started one day when my best friend phoned me and said, "Dad just bought a new boat and wants the old one gone TODAY"
"You want it?"

so just like that I got given this, For $0.00

So you can see why i don't know why you are getting so upset about this..

My job is managing an Italian Restaurant, so essentially I get paid to eat pizza, drink beer and talk to women all night.(dissapointing them of course-as I'm very happily married). Did I mention humble?:p:p

So come on Shonky, now you can really hate me:D:D:D

PS. I hope you get my sense of humour, as I really don't care taking the whizz out of myself, nor do I take life that seriously:twisted:

Oh, and this one is for Mrs Ho Har, as she just loves every time I post this pic:p:p

Is Xena a corvtte C3 or a perente (sp) ??

[Col.Coleman]

1968 Corvette Sting Ray 427 4spd.

Currently has a 350 010 from a camaro, but want an original 427 back in it.

CC

[Phoenix]

427! Can't be too many of them in Oz, very nice :cool:

I used to love them, but now i actually prefer the C4, not that I would knock back a Sting Ray

[CraigE]

Nice.
We dont hate you but we can covet the things you have got.:eek::o

Especially the Vette:p

Nice pics too.

[Shonky]

We dont hate you but we can covet the things you have got.

Speak for yourself! :o

No, I don't hate you CC. I just have a bitter dislike for you borne out of a heartfelt envy for what seems to be a disproportionate amount of good fortune.

In other words, rack off - you're hogging all the "lucky"! :lol2:

On a serious note, very nice collection. :)

I can't believe you got that boat for nix! :o Or those Landies for next to! :o :o

[Col.Coleman]

Thanks mate:D:D

There are good times and bad times in life.

You need to remember to not dwell on the bad, and enjoy the good when it comes around.

People are around to pick you up when you are down, so it is only fair to share the good around.

I'm just having a good time at the moment.

Now to bring on the bad. Somehow I have to pay for all of this AND still afford the cape trip. Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's off to work I go.

Maybe I'm the Anti-Ron, or the up-friend like in Sienfeld:angel::D:D:D

It's not easy being me:twisted:

G'day All, I neither hate you or envy you , boats well they can sink and cost $$$$'s to keep in the water, Land Rovers well I have a swag of them, and all I see is the logistics of completely stripping them down to the chassis and doing a total fair dinkum restoration, not interested cars at all, as my 110 will do more than the legal speed limit, and a wife!!, I have a very good one, cheers Dennis:wasntme:

[DiscoStew]

If it helps, I have met you, and I thought you were really unattractive. :angel:

[Col.Coleman]

It's not the what that is the point but the how.

Some people bust themselves with no reward, and some like me just **** it.

thanks stew. Now i know you care

[Sleepy]

I started off hating you but then I realised. ..............




























You live in QLD!:p


P.S. I'm writing a song about you!

[Treads]

So when's the CCCCC organisational fishing trip? :D

[scarry]

I'm with Dinty....

I don't hate nor covet you for your possessions either :D

I'm not into boats...so you can keep that one
I like bikes, but they do hurt a lot when you come off, so you can keep them too :D
Landies...well, I have a swag of those too :D
and I have a great partner (no, not a wife, but a fabulous Numpty :D) :D...he humours me if I go buying Landies while he is away working :D
I've got the worlds 2 best children :D
and a couple of houses :D

Did I mention the HUGE mortgage!! :eek:

Nah...I'm very very happy with my lot :p:p:p:p
all I really need now is retirement and the ability to go where I want, when I want :D

well said and same for me:D

ummm.....do have a great wife though,and one landy is enough for me at the moment

[Boxhead63]

Envious? ..No. Admiring... A resounding yes. Happy Days to you. Enjoy llife.

Cheers

[mcrover]

I given a boat for nix once, it was 12' long kinda like a home made tinny......home made out of 2mm steel plate.

A 40hp out board wouldnt get it up on the plane and with a 60 on the back it was nearly uncontrollable on the plane but damn fun.

I ended up selling it for $50 (the fuel it took to deliver it) to a mate who still uses it for duck shooting and loves it to death.

Look CC, I know what it's like to be ugly and I recon I would rather be plain than ugly but you get what your given even when it is red hair and male pattern baldness but you just grow more hair on your chin, buy a landrover and look as if you belong again :p

I do think that sometimes it seems like the balance is out a bit when you look at Ron and his luck and you with yours, I dont expect you to take some of his bad luck as nobody deserves that but you could pass on a bit of good luck to him :D

Anyhow, great post

[Shonky]

I feel inclined to highlight the fact that I don't really hate CC at all. Just a bit of tongue in cheek ribbing. :)

Just thought I would reiterate it incase anyone had the wrong end of the stick! :lol2:

[rovercare]

Posting portrait pics of your wife on the interweb?:(

Pics of the wife in the bush, general surrounds etc is cool;)

[Sprint]

*looks worried*

umm...... lets see

women...... cost money...... lots of it
houses...... yup, i live in one now..... dont want another
convertibles....... pfft
working in a resteraunt...... i'm fat enough now

Xena.......... :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub:

[samuelclarke]

Na, don't hate you...you're a lucky man - and good to see that you're appreciating it! :)

I'm content with my life atm too. :) Spent last year and some of this year studying in the USA and had an absolute blast, got a sweet job working in a health retreat when I got back to AUS, got my first car three months ago (a Defender!!), turned 22 last month, looks like next year I'll be back in my professional field (media) with a job overseeing production across TV, radio, internet and print media, have a whole ton of awesome friends from all over the world...and I know that I'll probably marry one of them in the next few years! So ya, I'm blessed...life is good! :)

But I've had my fair share of pain too - probably more than most. However, I've found the key is not to dwell on the negative, but rather the positive. Count the blessings in life - we're lucky to live in a great country...
