Baker; best known for Alien Beef Jerky, and a spot where Hunter S. Thompson gets caught in during 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'.

I'd also like to take a brief moment to apologise for my lack of activity recently. I've been caught up quitting my job after being headhunted to a new organisation and role. Both being public service, you can imagine the nightmare and phone calls/emails and shite I had to wade through. I couldn't bring myself to last weeks photo gig because it was themed work, and it was sitting in a beach house 50m from surf and sand, staring at a laptop and unresponsive printer/scanner I lugged on holidays with me.

But! Everything's sorted, enough gas bagging from me, I shall resume photos, discussions, and Interesting Beer Weekly Thread come Monday.

....though it's now gone, growing up I passed this giant Big Boy statue almost every day in my home town.

Oh nice! Never knowing Big Boy, was it some sort of a chain-diner-restaurant?

Yes, that's exactly what it was. Pretty old-school. In high school we would go there and order coffee and pie and smoke ungodly amounts of cigarettes. I'm sure they hated us

Awesome image. Welcome back!!

Thanks mate! It was a bit annoying not being able to be around as much as usual, but I figured it was better to give 110% than half-arsed three-word answers. All should be back-to-normal now!
