As I was going into town on the bus (free) three stops away (still in the village )what should I see but an erect pale blue low side Destiny This was the first time that I had seen it although I do the trip quite often. When mentioned to Mrs Jake, who was with me she replied "Oh it's always there, didn't you know, but it's normally folded".
Nobody tells me anything ever

there is nothing worse than being last in the know! glad to see that you are so observant

I've sent John and my pop up to the real deal and they're going to be on the tv eventually, they are currently haggling over an old mourning broach with mr Tangtastic watching over them

7 hours later, endless cups of coffee and 1 parking ticket and John sold the brooch to one of the dealers, It's surprising what goes on behind the scenes. Those nosey people who stand behind the screens looking at the deals being done and looking fascinated are not members of the public but actors! my dad was allowed to stand with them and poke his head around the screen though John was also told to say afterwards how much he had enjoyed the day and learned from the dealer ...... in all honesty it was a pain in the bum and the only thing he learned was that my brooch was from around 1830. Would we advise anyone to go ........ no! You have to wait around most of the day and then it takes lots of different takes to get it right and that's if they choose your item from the hundreds which is then promptly taken off you until you see it again on the podium so you can't say sod it and go home.

Will it be worth it to see John & pop on the telly in a few months ..... Yes the dealer thought they were mates and found it odd that John was the son in law, my dad found it hilarious.

As for sending your stuff to auction, you have to wait around 6 more weeks

Hope fame doesn't change him,will there be signed photos at woodhall next year.

Well done to John for getting through the day, if deserves a medal. Let us know when the programme is on.

Fame is running through the Dandy Campers.

It's going to be sometime in 2013 they film four shows in one session so we just have to keep an eye out for the ones filmed here. I will let you know though.

We're still decluttering, it didn't seem to matter over the summer because we we're always away but we want to decorate now and the house is full to busting so we are considering doing a car boot or collectors fair. We don't really do standing around in the cold though so we are going to take the Dandy with us to sit in ...... just have to find one that will let us. As for all of the camping stuff we inherited that will go on a car boot in spring and our Dandy will finally be able to live in the garage again. For now it will have to stay under the carport with a cover over it

Do feel free to list the camping equipment before it goes to the car boot sale.

I know I haven't got the space but it's never stopped me buying stuff.

Good idea Mr Itch, we'll be interested in anything 60's or 80's looking. ;-)

We're going to tackle the garage is spring just in time for the camping season

What Is It With Halloween?

Is it now a month long festival?

But for Christmas starting last week would it be bigger still?

Personally I can't wait for Wednesday the 23rd of January for "Pancake Day" though I believe the following period of Lent as it requires abstinence has been reduce to half a day!

Just thought we'd get in the spirit of things Kevin. and the change is only minor rather than changing the whole look of the forum. Not everyone visits the forum daily so we decided to change the seasonal banner theme for a couple of weeks, the Christmas one will be for the whole of December.

To answer though ...... Halloween has become more and more Americanised over the years and what was once a small affair now seems to have grown and grown.

I decided that it was time that I added a signature line at the bottom of my posts and so I chose a line that I, and the people that I've worked with, have used for years.

We said it the day before this

Was that a Vulcan?
Seen the one still flying twice.

Best aircraft experience was sadly not flying. It was the Lightnings at Bruntingthorpe.
It was deep into twilight by the time it got to taxi. The reheat all the more spectacular for the darkness.
I copied a piece of film on bluetooth from a girl stood next to me my phone had been all over the place.
Listen to the guy at the end of the film saying he didn't get what he wanted to film. Listen to all the car alarms going off.
You don't hear this you feel it throughout your body. Unless you've experienced it before you're stupefied.
Sorry Jake I know you know all this and more I'm just trying to explain to others.
Still the fastest ever British fighter.

Bailey is poorly sick ...... he was sick in the night ....... only once but hasn't eaten, drank barked, jumped or wanted to play at all today. We've telephoned the vet but they closed from dinner time on a Saturday so we would have to drive him 30 mile round trip to the out of hours place ! we can get him in for 9.30am tomorrow but it's looking like a long drive at the moment.
