Many thanks to Benjamin Whytcross for pointing me towards this group! I'd
missed it when I originally joined LUGNET, all I saw were the ng's for each
city. I wonder if Jamie O'Brien knows about this ng.
Name: Paul Baulch
Age: 28
Where in OZ: Melbourne, Victoria (Is there _anyone_ on LUGNET from
Melbourne?!? Doesn't seem to be, lugnet.loc.au.vic.mel has been dead for a
looong time)
Occupation: Computer programmer (Infogrames Melbourne House - anyone played
Way Of The Exploding Fist?).
Married: Not yet.
Kids: No, but I'm looking forward to it - ever heard a bloke younger than 35
say that? ;-)
Lego fan since: #357 Fire Station - I would have been about four, probably.
That building was magic.
Number of pieces: Double since the end of my dark age.... I'm guessing
around 80,000.
Number of sets: Oooh, towards 300
Favourite sets: 8880 Supercar, 6897 Rebel Hunter, 6887 Allied Avenger - dark
age partly ended with these 3 sets in '93, but it didn't really end
till the middle of this year. Oh, and 6286 "The Black Scull" ;-) Just
beautiful. Will I ever hold one in my hands..... *sigh*
Favourite themes: Competition/Cyberslam. Insectoids. Rock Raiders. Oh,
wait....
Best find: ~3000pcs of near-mint Lego from a bloke in Hurstbridge, Victoria
which included a complete Blacktron MIB and 4030 cargo ship. Sorry to
whoever rang up and offered him $500, I was there and I waved the money in
his face and he said yes. He advertised in theTrading Post!
Current Lego Project: Building more spacecraft, revitalising my web page
Lego praise: Possibly the most exquisitely engineered toy the human race has
ever seen.
Lego peeve: USED Pirate ships are *&@^$*# impossible to find, and even when
you DO find one, three dozen people have already found it! :-(
What you would say to KKK if you met him face to face: G'day. I'd like two
thousand mixed light and dark grey slope pieces, a thousand green 2x10s, and
a Skull's Eye Schooner. Yeah, that'll be take away, thanks.

| Hi Ho all you OZAFOL's across this big brown flat mysterious crazy country. I've noticed that the loc.au section of LUGNET is slowing down (as is evident by alot of "Is anyone out there?" single post threads. I thought it might be nice to do a small (...)
