Timmy

Timmy (Coonamble NSW) is the kind of guy that gets away with a lot through his friendly smile, good sense of humour and outgoing nature. His happy-go-lucky attitude will either show you a fantastic time or get you into a lot of trouble. It is impossible for him to remain inconspicuous; whenever we go out, he will more often than not become the life of the party, whether he’s up on a table trying to remove his pants, flying solo on the dance floor or in the parking lot launching a firecracker off his thigh.

His most infamous night out was in California at the start of the season. The folks in back-road California were amazed to meet anyone from overseas, let alone an Aussie. Apparently Tim and Dan hardly bought a drink while they were there. On this particular night, Tim gradually made his way around the edge of the bar until he was behind it, tea-towel slung over his shoulder, serving drinks and flipping coasters. Management were quite happy to have him on board. In addition to the free drinks, he received his share of the tips at the end of the evening, including $20 for breaking into one patron’s car after he’d locked his keys in.

Timmy woke up the following morning on the back of a tyre truck.

For all of his mischievousness, I really enjoy spending time with Timmy. He’s good fun to be around and his straightforwardness, an attribute shared by all of the country boys, is refreshing.
