Occupational therapy, Commachio, as I am in my late seventies and there is only so much you can do in the garden and round the house. I've made over 500 in the past year and roped in over 15 grand. the bulk are for Aussie Rules Football teams and they go absolutely Ape-s hit for them. Many go at auction for over a 100 bucks and I have a huge list for Xmas presents as i do personalized ones (Family members, pets etc) as well as Cars, Bikes and Disney Characters. Certainly kept me occupied mate.

Yeah, I usually get the old "Where do you find the time to do that" etc. but it has been very lucrative. It started just over a year ago when I repaired a clock belonging to my best mate who had passed away. I put a photo of him in it and his wife broke down when she saw it prompting my wife to suggest that I do one for her sister-in-law who had lost her husband (my wife's brother) at about the same time. From there it just spread. I was having a meal the other day when a bloke passed outside wearing a "Black Cats" Sunderland shirt but by the time I got out of the restaurant he'd disappeared. I live in a small town 200kms east of Melbourne so it was a bit of a surprise and I will be keeping an eye out for him.

Nowt to do with avatars. Just posters in general.

Casually browsing on line users came across ROKSOL. Sunderland fan location Baku.

Then further down the list was BAKU Mackem.

Where the **** is BAKU? Wonder if these two know there is a fellow member in a similar location.

So who lives near you?
 
Random question time.

ACS the mag mod. His dad is a SAFC fan and a member of this board it was once revealed.

Cant for the life of me remember who it was.

Any idea?

My son lives and breaths SAFC and has had it bred into him since birth. Mind, I do wonder whether it is a curse as he had to witness me having a meltdown during and after the Charlton playoff final <steam> and then there was the premiership 2002-03 fiasco, then the 2005-06 farce, then the last 3-seasons with 5-managers.............aggggghhhhhh, what have I done?..........actually he doesn't care, it's in his blood, he knows it's all part of being a Sunderland fan, he loves it, I'm proud of him for it even though it's sent me mad, which is why my avatar is the typewriter from the film 'the shining'

I pity though a man whose son has taken to the dark side

Aye, I pretty much brainwashed my lad too thus giving him a lifetime of sporting misery.
