Good you'll get frisked at the door for money just like everyone else and no farthings or tanner's either.

Make sure you've got warm hands please Richie.

An hour and a half from Edinburgh, what are you driving a Trebant

It's the detour to drop Mother in Law off.

Do like I do and drop her on her head

Nice thought but I'd end up in bin bags

Good luck to all my fellow planeteers who are entering the competions,please can we have plenty of photo's,

Brian

 

[Richie]

Hi Brian,
I'm on the door, so all suspect packages are getting confiscated until after the competition....... so how many photo's do you want of my winning Zulu war models..... will all angles do.
Don't worry mate I will try and get a shot of every piece, they will be uploaded either Saturday night or Sunday morning at the latest.
cheers
Richie

Looking forward to being in Darlington tomorrow to start the final and shortest leg of the journey home from Norway..... and then back again for a frisking from Richie on 13th.

Roger.

 

[Richie]

You're only getting frisked if you bring your purse and some form of decimalisation, I'll even settle for coins with a milled edge. I know what you t'Yorkshire lads are like and no bartering with sheep either, Del can't make it to do the exchange rate.

 

[billyturnip]

I was hoping Ken would take a Wensleydale ewe for the Crimean war flats, I'll have to have a look and see what the kids have in their money boxes now.

 

[mil-mart]

Roger it's a deal mate but I'll need to see pictures. I don't want to be expecting the daughter and end up with the mother.

Ken

Blimey Ken's fussy

The Country Boys will be well aware of this one. If it had involved Sheep Chasing rather than Sheep Racing I'd put my money on our Ayrshire members.

 

[billyturnip]

Chasing, racing, whatever you want to call it really.

 

[SteveL]

Looking forward to it, had a great time last year, see you there.....

 

[billyturnip]

Anyone going to the show interested in a heap of Military Modelling magazines c.1990's, free of charge before they go in the bin? I need more room for the expanding flat empire.

Roger.

 

[Richie]

Roger,
Don't you dare give any away with Zulu war related items until I get my grubby chimp mits on them. I might bring a couple of boxes of books along aswell, 100% of all proceeds going to the Hospice. Here are just a few examples of what will be available anyone interested let me know.
cheers
Richie
