:lol1: very funy…. I had the last laugh though…. Some west idian came up to me at the show sprouting on about how poor the poms were playing and telling me that i must be scared of losing the next time the poms play them. I told him that the WI were by far a better team, and that us poms secretly worshipped the ground the aussie cricketers walked on. Aside from a few poms that overheard the discussion and wanted to string me up. i thought the WI guy was going to shake my hand till it fell off!!

[Neil Davey]

Hi, it was great to get together yesterday at the show and have a chat to a few of you.

What a pleasure to meet Jill (did you find any brushes after Jill) and Shane in person and also Marcella, Nik, Dave, George, Peter, John and Mike.

Hope Jill and Shane enjoy the rest of their stay here in Blighty and have a safe journey back home.

Just wish I could have stayed longer and chat more, maybe next year.

I think it was more the Rangers sticker on the back of his ID badge that put that smile on his face 😉 God knows where he got it from as it was there before I seen him :lol1:

[Nigel Pugh]

Great to see all the nutters again and a few new ones, Jill nice to say hi again and you always had a smile going, and Shane what a really nice bloke for an Aussie 😉 One last word……….Dave yeh you know who you are, update ya profile pic :lol1:

Finally nice to see the wee fella leave on time this year and sort of sober 😛

[Lynn Normington]

have to say I have been having a real good time meeting with friends old and new thank you all for making it so good.

Lynn

[Craig Brown]

Sorry John…not the most flattering picture in the world but you did have the excuse that listening to Richard’s panel beating stories sent you to sleep… 😉 …the only funnier thing was seeing Brian less awake on his stand the following morning

I feel a caption competition coming on 😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I didn’t take too many pix at the show (none really!) I was too busy "socializing".
😉
But here are some which Nik and possibly George took that night.
I still cannot get over how much younger everyone looks in person.
I couldn’t say who shocked me the most, but it’s a tossup between Neill, Rich, and Brian.
I mean their real selves as opposed to their avatars!
Love….Jill
