I’m going to buy a drink for…….

[Robert Lambie]

:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

cool thread Marcella… I’m being summoned by your lordship for a wine top-up… be back soon 😉 :lol1:

[Martin Pearson]

Marcella, what a kind offer, thank you very much but unfortunately I probably wont be at SignUK so at least you have saved the price of one drink.
It would be nice to go and meet some of the people from the forum and I believe Robert owes me a drink or two as well so that side of things is covered but as I am not really in the sign business at the moment and am only really playing at it don’t know if I could justify going.

its a couple of months away so maybe things will change but its a long way to go for me and also something that I probably can’t really afford at the moment, there’s lots of things in my life I can’t talk about on here but as I said before its not for a couple of months so maybe things will change.

[Nicola McIntosh]

yep just as rob said….cool thread madge 😎
i cant wait to meet everyone again…and im buying everyone a drink…ive been saving up my homer money all year :rofl: :rofl:

quote Marcella:

And Nik ………. well I’ll buy you a drink just cos your funny when you’re drunk :dance4:

(oh forgot to add……just hope you wont be drinkin soco on the day) GOD KNOWS WHAT U MIGHT GET UP TO…….. BOUNCY BOUNCY!!!!! :booty:

Martin
this year i am considering traveling by train. each year i travel down with my father and andrew by car or i drive down alone. this is fine but the 5 hour drive home with a massive hangover from drinking with pete mindlam, marcella, andrew boyle, dave rowland and countless other freinds/nutters.. kills me… :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
if not for the show, come along and join me/us… your more than welcome!
i cant promise much, but a hangover from hell i can! 😉

[Marcella Ross]

yeah …………… we’ve experienced your driving with a hangover 😮 it’s not funny ……………… especially on BIG motorways! 😀 Poor John Wilson is still in recovery!

[Martin Cole]

Good one Marcella 😀

After another year you feel like you know everyone that bit more,
Looking forward to meeting with you all again.

Might try and stay over this year. Be good to meet Nik in person, also Mr Andy Gorman would be good if he can make it aswell as Karl Williams
if he goes sounds and looks like a complete nutter, in the nicest possible way.

It will be a joy to meet me old Georgio (after he’s had a good kicking from Marcella) and Mr Dave Lowery and his son.

Dave Rogers, if you go let me know and I am going to swat up and find a subject you know nothing about 😕 a tall order I know but I’ll find something 😀

Mr Lowery ……………… next time ginger ale in the brandy ………….. and just a single not a double, I’m not greedy 😀

Andy Gorman – would be great to meet you in person like Martin has just said, hope you can make it! 😀

[Peter Mindham]

Marcella, like you i cant wait. Lots of laughs and silliness in a very short time. Rob tells me we can leave our shovels at home this year as the building work is finished 😉

Seriously, within walking distance of the show is going to be great. Maybe we can get that Tesco trolley and just wheel Rob around the show and back to the hotel at night 😀 😀 😀

I hope you all have a good time too. I’m really jealous though.

[Lorraine Clinch]

😀 😀 😀

Great thread Marcella! Can’t wait to meety up again, was such a good day/night last year. This year I shall spend the following day going around the show, didn’t get to see much last year, spent too much time chatting & drinking. Any more ideas for evening entertainment yet?

[Peter Mindham]

Hey Lorraine,
Are you bringing your nurses uniform this year?

peter

[Lorraine Clinch]

No…. I thought this was going to be a TOGA party Peter – I’ll look really out of place dressed for work now, wouldn’t I! 🙄

[Lorraine Clinch]

quote Peter Mindham:

Hey Lorraine,

peter

Anyway, what do you mean, this year? Never brought it last year either!

[Peter Mindham]

I seem to remember you promising to wear it at the show? 😉
Maybe it was too much or Marcies Champers?
Glad to hear you are bringing your toga though.
Peter

…ps. swot up on history, I know bugger-all about that…even forget my anniversary…oh, and anything remotely ‘gay’ like dressmaking / flower arranging. :lol1:

I’ll try to ignore Marcella’s comment about google..I find it offensive, insulting and degrading to my intelligence….I would use Yahoo! 😉

… as a bit of a geek – and proudly so – it’s rare I resort to websearches…I just watch FAR too much discovery channel!!…my missus thinks I missed my true calling on the ‘nerdfest’ that is Mythbusters… 😥

I’ll be there this year, looks like I better start saving now.
I am just wondering if I should stay the night in a hotel. I know what I’m like when I get a taste for some good beer and being with good company. Do you all book into the same hotel?

Hey, look out for the guy in the bad fitting wig and a wife that’s trying to pretend she isn’t with him, that’ll be me 😀

Have a great weekend all
Paul

[Shane Drew]

wow Dave R, incredible resemblance… bet the mythbusters guy makes more money than you tho 😉

Contact Rob Lambie Paul, he’ll give you details of where we are staying/reserve a room etc.

[Robert Lambie]

Paul, you can contact me at admin@uksignboards.com you have also been added to a new group. see forum index. email me for any further info mate. 😀

[Karl Williams]

Me! A nutter? What could possibly give you that impression????

I hope it’s not the same one Jeremy Clarkson mentions in his new book 😮 (Page 303) 🙄

[Lynn Normington]

not read the book, elaborate please one of the Mr. Lowery’s , wish you would put your name 😀

Lynn

[Phill Fenton]

I’m looking forward to meeting everybody especially Peter Normington. We can sit in the corner nursing a beer and have a good grump. :lol1:

[Lynn Normington]

Phill I think, I can see you and Peter now grumping away and laughing your heads off, you two grumpy old men give me many a laugh 😀 😀
considering neither of you are grumpy old men !!! 😳 didn’t mean to blow your cover .

Lynn

[David Rowland]

they just fall asleep drunk the quickest lynn lmao!

[David Lowery]

Lynn, the hotel is called the Metropole but this is just a pseudonym to stop him getting sued. The three pages in the book tell of the debauchery and other things that takes place with groups of people away from their workplace. The late night drinking in the bar and the other things that happen when they have had a few. 😳

Dave

[Peter Mindham]

Yup
Sounds like uksignboards sign UK contingent. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😉
Peter

[David Lowery]

Found this link that gives the details of what i was talking about earlier about that hotel 😀
