Not annoyed at her existence, annoyed at not knowing about her sooner!

Goes to show what a true friend you are Pat, a truly selfless offer.

Please tell me that you are coming over to Telford this year! Time in the jacuzzi can be bought with good beer and food you know, yes I am that shallow.😁

I had best go and turn the landing lights on then.👍

 

🇺🇦

 

Just the answers I expected from you, buddy.

It's been many many years since I went to a modelling or air show. Never been to Telford in fact.

I already considered it .... just to meet you and others (and that is no joke).

But if I go by train (as it's cheaper than plane for me), it's a 14 hours single trip. I'd prefer to include it in a wider family holiday.

It doesn't mean I'll never come but no plans made with the wife for this year, sorry.

 

Friendly regards.

Pat

Just for fun, I think we should merge Southern Europe and Not My Comfort Zone to form a Southern Comfort GB.

Not much would get built, but we'd all have a great time.

As a man that has consumed a distilleries worth of the stuff Im in. In fact Im one of three friends that loaded into a 1971 Oldsmobile convertible in 1991. We drove all across the southern/southeastern part of the USA. Just to visit all of the factories and see the nectar being made.

If you think that's scary, listen to the second verse of Riders On The Storm by The Doors...

 

 

And now I'm going to go and listen to LA Woman in its entirety - one of the finest albums ever recorded.

That works because it requires the proper Irish pronunciation of Sean.

genuinely I'm flying to the uk to go to telford show on the sunday. cant wait. hopefully i can bump into a few of you guys and meet you in person (🤔unless you're wearing speedos or going commando @John Masters and we can give it a miss.)

 

less genuinely...

( booked the flights and 5 star hotel (yes it has a jacuzzi) on craigs credit card i dont think he'll see the missing funds with all the bribes incentives leaving the account for the desert gb currently.)

 

why do seagulls mostly fly over the sea?

because if they mostly flew over the bay we'd call them bagels.

Oh, well, then just don't let her forget to bring back

1) Airfix Meteor F8

2) Airfix 1/48 Anson

3)Kinetic 1/48 F-16 MLU

I'll let you know if there is something else.

Thanks, guys, glad she'll have your help to carry the kit boxes so I'll add some more to the list

What do you call a fish with no eyes?

I bought the newlyweds an elephant for their room. 

They said, “Thank you.” I said, “Don’t mention it.”

Oh no...I'm staying hime here in Greece until early February when I'll be meeting some friends in Ostend. ☔

Entropy still holding eighth place with 41 votes. As there were 50 sign-ups that could be disappointing if I allowed it to be. However, a name on the list is merely an expression of interest, not a deathbed vow and there are many other interesting GBs now. 

 

I myself have supported more than six GBs into the Bunfight and obviously I can't vote for all of them. Say 'lavvy'.

 

Maybe we will pick up a few votes from the ones at the bottom of the poll when they admit defeat? Remember, ANY model can be built to show it at the end of its life. All you need is a little imagination. Take a look here for inspiration.

Well if we were to follow proportional representation rules then at the end of this vote the lower voting entrants would be culled and their votes redistributed. Very fair but very difficult to administer.

Those, whose GBs got less than 30 votes, could rethink about it, open the voting box again and make another choice.
This time one of those with more than 30 votes.

I accidently stumbled upon this set of completely random photos of completely random aircraft.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alas, if there only were a GB to build them in.

That's exactly what happens,  tactical voting 🗳  being the polite way of describing,  stabbing a previous GB in the back !
