Welcome back Chum. Yours was the last Chumment I expected to open up this new post thread.

See you for beers on Friday afternoon mate.

NNN

I like the count down clock

Shaggy

27/7/2012 06:28:37 am

I like the countdown clock too. Photos from Saturday are excellent. After spending the day with the camera, who'd have thought it was the one thing I forgot to take on the night, DUHHH!

mike

28/7/2012 03:10:21 am

Shaggy

28/7/2012 04:43:50 am

Cheers Mike but you didn't have to put up with the unholy & unmelodic racket that I made. Very rusty & a tad pished :(

Good see ITT & NNN last night, always going to catch up eventually. Keep chumming at Olympic standards!!!

ITT

28/7/2012 04:58:11 am

Cheers, Shaggy. Good to see you & the Chums too. I hope you did'nt have to resort to revealing your 2nd t-shirt to anyone!

Keep On Chumming!!!

Shaggy

28/7/2012 11:50:31 am

Glad to say Ian, the second tee-shirt stayed safely under wraps mate :)

Prez

28/7/2012 11:55:10 am

Shaggy.

For this relief, much thanks...

Thanks contributors.

NNN

31/7/2012 02:59:28 am

Love the bios, very entertaining! Sad me & ITT can't make Edinburgh, weirdly we are at his nieces wedding nr Edinburgh on Friday 10th so we almost pass. Sort of.

Nicky

31/7/2012 12:12:01 pm

We seam to be making a habit of this remember Glasgow lol

NNN

1/8/2012 02:48:24 am

So we did! To add insult to injury i am actually up at 4.30am that day to get in for a very early trial....ITT on nights, poor us

Shaggy

2/8/2012 08:40:36 am

Liking the links to Edinburgh, gets you right into the mindset. Nice one Nicky. x

NNN

7/8/2012 03:02:25 am

Have a great time Chums & Chuminas. Whilst you sit down for a yummy breakfast in Woodies, spare a thought for me standing in work, swearing & sweating over Ginger Nuts! ITT will be rolling over in his sleep dreaming of a pint no doubt between his n/shifts. Chum chum chum ;o)

Prez

7/8/2012 04:18:01 am

Whose Ginger Nuts, have we met him?

NNN

7/8/2012 08:04:04 am

One sits to the left, one to the right, I kid you not!

ITT

7/8/2012 06:27:36 am

Have booze-filled, culture-spilled time in Edinburgh, Chums. Keep an eye on Ripper John sneakin' off down dark alleys, making deals with Burke & Hare!

Looking forward to the tales & photos when you get back.

Keep On Chumming!!!

Shaggy

7/8/2012 07:31:18 am

Cheers chums!

Weather forecast for Edinburgh tomorrow, sunny spells with the likelyhood of outbreaks of jovial drunkeness :)

NNN

7/8/2012 08:05:39 am

Make time for a scooby snack or two, scoooby scoooby doo!

Nicky

7/8/2012 01:10:50 pm

Thank you NNN and ITT for your good wishes, it would be great if you could make it to the next one x

One more sleep till Edinburgh hurrah! I'll be the one in the dark glasses as I've now added an eye infection to my ever increasing poorly sicknesses I'm sure I heard someone say real ale cures everything x

So Chums until tomorrow 8.00am Woodys be there or be A 4-sided regular polygon with all sides equal and all internal angles 90°

Chum Chum Chum!!!!!!!

Ewan

7/8/2012 04:24:45 pm

10 hrs til Edinburgh trip starts :-)

Shaggy

9/8/2012 09:58:33 am

Cracking day-out in Edinburgh chums. Full marks to Nicky for keeping us all in check. See you all soon. YAAAYY!

Prez

9/8/2012 12:22:43 pm

Aye a grand day oot indeed.

I am slowly getting the Edinburgh pics page sorted, It should be ready for editors to contribute hopefully sometime tonight (ie 3am:))

mike

10/8/2012 05:44:41 am

grand day in edinburgh chum,some great pics and a great time was had by us browns,ewan capped it all at the end when he was asked to be quiet,thanks all

Shaggy

11/8/2012 12:24:49 pm

Well Mike, you managed to put up with us the whole day......

which doesn't reflect well on you two, Ha Ha! Catch up soon :)

Helen Davies

10/8/2012 01:54:33 pm

Hiya Chums - fab to meet some of you in Carlisle following your Edinburgh trip. Got a couple of pics but not sure if I can put them on this website. Colin says Hi too. x

Shaggy

11/8/2012 12:21:23 pm

Hi Helen. glad you had a grand away-day too & it was a pleasure to meet you & Colin. I have a good photo of you to go on the site soon so you can be the first of the County Durham chapter, Ha Ha! Keep on rockin' & hopefully catch up with you sometime soon. T'was good crack. Ian x

Prez

11/8/2012 01:58:24 pm

Hi Both.

It was nice to meet you both and sit a while with another fan of Mott/Hunter....the rest of the Chums can be philistines when it comes to appreciating good music:)

I remember you saying that you get over to Carlisle a bit. When you are over next put a comment on the site and we can all meet up for a proper night out.

Nick.

Helen Davies

12/8/2012 08:22:21 am

Thanks both. Mostly we probably travel over for gigs if the tour doesn't include Newcastle or we do both if we're feeling that way inclined. Colin is looking forward to Lizzy on Friday @ The Brickyard, but I can't get the time off work so can't make it - they're fab with Ricky Warwick singing - what a frontman - far superior to Sykes. :)

Gizmo

13/8/2012 06:13:07 am

Hi Helen
Lizzy are actually at the Sands centre - not the best of venuues but shouldn't matter if the music is good
I'll be there - A few drinks in The Napper first
Do you go to any of the gigs in the Cluny?

Gizmo

13/8/2012 06:14:18 am

Started adding photos to my page
Check them out

Helen Davies

13/8/2012 02:01:21 pm

Bugger - yes - sorry The Sands - we had trouble finding the place last week and now I can't remember the name of it - lol. Yes we go to The Cluny. We're going to see Heather Findlay Band there in November, it's a Tuesday mind you so prob best for locals.

Gizmo

14/8/2012 03:38:53 am

Heather Findlay band sounds good - I'll have to check if i'm free for that

Neil

13/8/2012 04:23:27 pm

Hi Gizmo. Like the photos especially the Fernhessen tower. Very spacey. Were you able to go up inside it?

Gizmo

14/8/2012 03:42:36 am

Yes you can but having 2 guys with fear of heights meant it will have to wait for next trip.
When i mean fear i mean FEAR !!! One turned a very sickly green/white colour just at the mention of it

NNN

14/8/2012 03:09:03 am

Love the photos, looks like you had a blast in Edinburgh x

NNN

14/8/2012 03:10:04 am

ps looking forward to the rest of yours Giz...

Gizmo

14/8/2012 03:44:31 am

More being prepared as we speak

Neil

15/8/2012 07:04:45 pm

Prez I'd recognise that sofa anywhere. It was about 7 ft long and I've spent many a drunken night on it. Also remember that wallpaper and the bonny lass on the sofa was and still is Judith Chalmer's cousin Catherine.

Prez

16/8/2012 10:49:57 pm

So does that mean it was at Paul's house?

Neil

17/8/2012 03:49:50 am

Well it was at the time when he still lived at home. His mum and dad's house.

Neil

15/8/2012 07:07:31 pm

Also just spotted Paul's mate Theo sitting just beyond you. Who knows, I may have even been in the room.

ITT

15/8/2012 08:29:36 pm

Sounds like the place to go at kicking out time when our licensing laws were tighter, Chums. I bet Prez was just happy to get 13% extra free in his can of John Smiths!

Keep On Chumming!!!

Nicky

16/8/2012 07:55:58 am

Thanks to all of the Chums for making Edinburgh a fun chum day out (wish it had been longer it is a beautiful city) lets call it a recce.

This Sat is a Chums night out and don't let this put you off but I will be playing out late as I have the Sunday off YAY! All welcome as always and Club Rock here we come hopefully until anout 4.30ish :-)

Nicky

16/8/2012 08:19:01 am

Nice page Gizmo and nice one Neil I'm liking the Mars trip very exciting, the Star Trek episode is funny too :-)
Nick was that photo taken just before Christmas you haven't changed much :-) x

Prez

16/8/2012 10:48:39 pm

He he he

It's very late. I have put Donald to bed after a lot of whisky and smokes and am feeling very smug.

Good and unexpected night, cheers chums:)

ITT

17/8/2012 06:04:39 am

Ok, Prez, the game is up. You not only look like Charles Manson in but due to the photographic evidence, you spent the mid-late eighties (judging by Theo's jumper) recruiting your very own Manson-style Family. This got me thinking that Carlisle is not exactly the Hollywood Hills when it comes to famous people so imagine my utter despair when i realised the catastrophic effect the deaths of Gilly Frazer &/or Eric Wallace would have had on Border Crack & Deekabout!

To the Chums going to see Thin Lizzy tonight, have a great gig.

Keep On Chumming!!!

Prez

17/8/2012 09:35:00 am

We were actually targeting Derek Batey.

'Mr and Mrs...be nice to each other...'

ITT

17/8/2012 09:51:12 am

How could i have overlooked the kipper-tied local legend of national fame?

Prez

17/8/2012 04:52:16 pm

I have just googled Derek Batey and he is still with us!!

Actually he isn't with us as he moved to Florida, but he's 84years old

Look...

http://www.mr-and-mrs.tv/derek-batey.htm

Prez

17/8/2012 05:00:39 pm

I have just seen Neils notification about the death of Harry Harrison. Another fantastic writer gone.

I was a big HH fan as a kid and onlward and think there were only four or so books on the slide show that I hadn't read (Slippery Jim was a big hero of mine and I always imagined him as James Coburn).

Shaggy

18/8/2012 09:38:23 am

Can I just say what a top night Lizzy layed on last night. Not a band counting their days to retirement but a vibrant new line-up. Well done to Scott, Ricky & the boys. Also a huge thanx to Colin & Helen for convincing me that it was more than a tribute act, would hate to have missed that gig, cheers Durham Chums! Hopefull see ya both again soon :)

Gizmo

19/8/2012 06:57:56 am

Finally finished the Berlin Photos

Ewan

19/8/2012 08:22:49 am

Some good pics and info reminds me of when I was in Berlin in 1987

Neil

19/8/2012 09:25:45 am

I agree with Ewan. Some great pictures there Gizmo. Looks like a great place to visit. Love the huge kettles. Wouldn't want to brasso them.
Check it out chums.

Prez

19/8/2012 11:09:39 am

Well done to THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. A worthy winner, even though I voted for Plan 9.

It was and still is a good film.

Nicky

19/8/2012 12:35:45 pm

Cheryl's Happy Birthday night out was a great success fun was had by all, photos to come. Thanks to some inventive camera work by an unknown artist why not visit the Function Room at the Makars Pub and play 'Who's Crotch is it Anyway'?

First lady

19/8/2012 01:48:54 pm

Just wanted to send out a big thankyou to all for an excellent night out:)
Special mention goes out to Judith, for her most delicious cake and Nicky for providing the tools for entertainment both at the pubs and for home, he he he;)
Feel very privileged to have a brilliant ready signed card too! x

NNN

20/8/2012 02:48:19 am

Sorr y we missed alot of you, belated happy birthday C, glad you had a great night x

Gizmo

20/8/2012 07:54:27 am

Neil
Just added some new pics for you on 'The Bridge' page

Neil

20/8/2012 07:02:04 pm

Once again some great photos Gizmo. You and Ian should get together and have Shizmo's gallery.

Nicky

20/8/2012 08:25:32 am

Ewwwwww can we have a happy birthday Cheryl pic for pic of the week please the bum one is putting me off visiting the home page yucky!!!!!

Neil

20/8/2012 07:04:10 pm

If anyones a fan of film soundtrack music why dont you visit Nerdvana and try the Goldsmith challenge :-)

Sandra

21/8/2012 11:03:41 am

Happy birthady Cheryl twas a grand nite out. See i had mi ugly face on again in them photoes ;-)

Prez

21/8/2012 06:45:51 pm

Hmmm, oh deary me. I'm afraid I've fallen at the first hurdle. I have no idea what the Goldsmith tune is:(

Shaggy

22/8/2012 06:20:57 am

Only just checked out Giz's new pages. Almost tempting me to have a bottled continental beer & from a dark & ruby ale drinker, that's quite an achievement! Excellent photos Giz :)

ITT

23/8/2012 06:48:35 pm

My guess is Total Recall for The Goldsmith Challenge. It has to be a sci-fi film to be in Neil's Nerdvana & i think he's cleverly put it in because of the soon-to-be-released remake.

Neil

24/8/2012 06:19:07 pm

Good guess ITT an absolutely correct :)
Ok next question...........

Gizmo

25/8/2012 03:18:43 pm

One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind

And so a legend departs the the land of the living

R.I.P Neil Amstrong

Shaggy

25/8/2012 05:43:57 pm

Here, here! Sad news. I'm wearing my Armstrong roots proudly today.

Neil

25/8/2012 07:03:22 pm

A great man. A brave man. A quiet man. The sort of guy that didn't do it for fame and fortune but to advance his and our understanding of our place in the universe. Rest in peace.

Prez

25/8/2012 08:52:52 pm

Very sad news. He was a hero to those of our generation who liked our heroes unassuming. We are old enough to remember the change it made to the way the world thought and he formed our attitudes, our daydreams and, of course, our hobbies and interests.

I want to nominate him as our first posthumous honorary Chum

George McDonald Fraser in a book he wrote made a very interesting observation. In 1969 Neil Armstrong, President Nixon and Billy Grahame were sat together attending a Political event.

Arguably the three most influential men in America, was each of Reiver descendent.

Makes you proud to be a Borderer.

Ewan

26/8/2012 03:53:36 am

I'll second the nomination for Neil Armstrong

Prez

27/8/2012 03:41:01 am

I suppose that means we need ANOTHER page for the site...

Prez

27/8/2012 05:05:39 am

Nice to see Weebly have initiated 'Fancy Boxes' for photo albums. You can navigate through batches of pics by using the thumbnails at the bottom. A nice touch is that you can use your left and right arrow keys to move rapidly through the album.

Go give it a try...

ITT

27/8/2012 10:17:49 pm

My guess for the second 'Goldsmith Challenge' in Neil's Nerdvana is 'Logan's Run'.

Neil

28/8/2012 12:26:34 pm

Yay ! Spot on ITT.
Is anyone else having a go? We can rename the challenge Beat ITT!

NNN

29/8/2012 02:55:35 am

I beat him on a regular basis, it is why he is so well behaved!

Helen Davies

28/8/2012 01:54:54 pm

Hiya Chums - we are almost certainly coming over to Carlisle for the Rock and Blues Fest on Nov 10 @ The Swallow Hotel, mainly to see Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash who if you haven't seen them lately are still on fire. We have seen them three times so far this year and each time have had a chat with them (not name dropping at all - just chuffed about it). It's £45 each for the Sat line-up which includes Mick Ralphs (who we saw recently at Cambridge Rock and Beer Fest) and lots of others. We have to wait until pay day (Friday) to buy the tickets, but this should be a great night. Maybe we'll see some of you there. :)

Gizmo

29/8/2012 06:40:00 am

I'll definitely be there - already have the full weekend ticket
Actually i prefer Andy Powell Wishbone Ash whom i saw at the Highlands Blues festival in Holland But What the hell Live music is always goooood

Gizmo

29/8/2012 06:41:13 am

PS The Festval also has real ale which makes life even better

Helen Davies

29/8/2012 10:27:54 am

We have seen Andy Powell's version too, but prefer Martin Turner's, but both very good, and as you say live music is always goooood. Real Ale will please Colin. I'm more of a rose wine girl myself. :)

Shaggy

29/8/2012 03:09:43 pm

Rose Wine!!! What a girl, ha ha! Not sure if I'll be at the Festival yet but there'll always be a warm welcome for you both in the Kings Head if you can fit it into the Blues Fest :)

ITT

31/8/2012 05:02:41 pm

Not even a year for this weeks Goldsmith Challenge? Hrmph! I'm gonna ignore all the Star Trek soundtracks he did & take a stab in the dark with Hollow Man.

Keep On Chumming!!!

Neil

31/8/2012 06:14:30 pm

Ok Ok 1978 but no googling!!

Neil

31/8/2012 06:16:02 pm

And no its not Hollow Man!!

Ewan

31/8/2012 06:41:01 pm

wow I know this one, Capricorn One

Neil

31/8/2012 07:17:38 pm

Well done Ewan. Finally some competition for Ian :)

ITT

31/8/2012 07:52:23 pm

I've been beaten by NNN......and now i'm beaten by Ewan!

Well done, Ewan.

gizmo

1/9/2012 02:50:51 am

Off to Sunny climes tomorrow
Will see you all on my return
Keep on chumming

Prez

1/9/2012 05:31:11 am

All the best mate.

Don't worry once you are back in the nautical saddle, as it were, the time will pass quickly enough and you'll soon be Chumward bound again.

Nicky

1/9/2012 11:46:30 am

Take Care Giz we will miss you as always xXXx

ITT

1/9/2012 10:33:52 am

Bon voyage, Giz or toodle pip as my nana used to say!

Neil

1/9/2012 07:30:39 pm

Bon voyage Gizmo.
Set course.
Second star on the right and straight on till morning. :)

ITT

2/9/2012 08:03:26 pm

Ok, after weeks of feeling uncomfortable looking at other mens packages, i've finally brought myself round to answer only four of the Maka's "Who's Crotch Is It Anyway?" Quiz.
B) Mr Maka himself (camo shorts)
C) Prez (the shirt looks vaguely familiar)
D) Johno (dayglo green & tweed combo is a giveaway!)
E) Dennis (is it a semi-on or a lazy lob (or just an old camel toe!) in beige canvas pants?)
The other two could be anyone (me included).

Keep On Chumming!!!

Prez

3/9/2012 03:50:07 am

You are a very brave man to admit to doing this.

Every other Chum has probably looked and pondered packages but no one had the guts to post this confession for the world to see:)

I was asking Nicky If she thought it would be OK to do a whose cleavage is it anyway....oddly enough she thought THAT was inappropriate!

Women. eh?

Prez

3/9/2012 03:59:43 am

Errrr the Goldsmith challenge may just have been made a little bit easier by it being on over the weekend.

Am I right?

You dirty stinking Ape.

Neil

3/9/2012 01:26:28 pm

Your darn tootin Prez.
Didn't know it was on as I don't watch tv.
So pure coincidence :)

Neil

3/9/2012 01:30:56 pm

My sons just given me his christmas list for Santa..
Via e-mail..
A list of u.r.l.s a mile long.
Well thats progress for ya :(

Helen Davies

4/9/2012 11:10:06 am

Hi Chums - we are now not coming over for the Carlisle Blues Fest as it's gonna be too ruddy expensive. The icing on the cake was the 8% fee on each ticket purchased via the Net - ffs. I'm sure it'll be a fab weekend and that those of you who go will have an amazing time. H

ITT

5/9/2012 06:36:25 am

I totally agree. Me & NNN (like many Chums) go to see a lot of gigs and the booking fees per ticket are a complete rip-off. You feel like your being taken advantage of for supporting live music. And don''t get me started about people buying tickets to sell on ebay! Rant over.
Try not to let it stop your passion for seeing live bands.

Keep On Chumming!!!

NNN

5/9/2012 09:09:57 am

seconded!

Helen Davies

5/9/2012 01:17:42 pm

It won't stop us going to local gigs, or gigs where we can buy the tickets from a local box office etc. We often go to gigs in York without paying such extortionate fees. We have several gigs coming up starting with Mostly Autumn at The Sage, Gateshead, just up the road from us. Colin is off to a gig at The Cluny tomorrow night too and then to York on Saturday - busy, busy, busy :)

ITT

5/9/2012 10:26:30 pm

I'm gonna take another guess at the Goldsmith Challenge and say Leviathan. I do hope i've found my early form/luck!

Neil

6/9/2012 09:59:36 am

Haway man at least listen to it first !!!!

ITT

6/9/2012 10:34:49 am

I did this morning and thats my wrong guess!!!

Prez

6/9/2012 11:01:40 am

I think ITT was taking a leaf from the paralympics and having a go at blind guessing.

:)

ITT

6/9/2012 02:32:03 pm

Ok, ok! How could i have not recognised the opening bars on the Goldsmith Challenge? Trying to play it quietly at 5.15am does'nt help but excuses won't wash. I'm not sure if its a variation on the theme for the different films but i'll get my coat!

Taxi for ITT!!!

Neil

6/9/2012 03:07:19 pm

Your getting there. Now you just have to pick a number from 1 to 11 :)

ITT

6/9/2012 03:22:29 pm

I'm going with Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

ITT

6/9/2012 02:42:53 pm

P.S. I'll go back to studying crotches!!!

Prez

7/9/2012 04:34:35 am

I'll up the ante and say VI...

ITT

7/9/2012 06:21:00 am

Now we're talkin'!

Neil

Sorry folk Shaggy correctly identified the theme as Star Trek First Contact number 8 or as Shaggy put it "that one with the Borg in".
It was in the pub after several ales so I'm not sure how many clues I gave but what the hell it means I can put some prog in the music room for a change :)

Blatant bribery and corruption by team Shaggy.

Sorry Prez, sh*t happens :)

Neil

8/9/2012 07:47:53 am

Don't worry Prez you will get another chance. Don't think it was easy for Shaggy to admit he'd seen a Next Gen movie. The Goldsmith challenge is having a slight hiatus to give chums a chance to listen to some proggy stuff from the prog awards but it will definately return.

Neil

8/9/2012 07:49:47 am

Oh did I happen to mention there's some great proggy stuff to listen to in the Music room Chums.
:)
Share and enjoy.

Prez

Whilst visiting the Music Room in Neil's Nerdvana i thought it would be good idea to play all the Prog tracks together. Now that is one helluva Psychedelic Prog audio mindf#*k track!!!

Keep On Chumming!!!

Neil

9/9/2012 02:38:43 pm

You shouldn't do that chum you can have too much of a good thing. Besides each track is a progressive gem on its own (apart from TesseracT which I don't get at all ). Its like putting loads of flavours of jelly babies in your mouth at once. ( MmmmmmJelly babies )

Prez

9/9/2012 02:59:36 pm

WOW.

What a brilliant idea ITT!

I am watching the closing ceremony and think i'll take it one step further. Turn the TV volume down, Whap them all on together and have some kinda experience,

Prez

9/9/2012 04:51:08 pm

Well mebby I should have done as I suggested. I feel like I have just sat through a Coldplay benefit concert.

Not very diverse or original if you ask me....

Shaggy

10/9/2012 07:39:59 am

Uuuurrggghhhhh! A Coldplay benefit concert!!!

Take me back to my 'safe place'. Where was it again? Oh yeah, Jelly Babies & Iron Maiden, mmmmm!

Nicky

10/9/2012 11:31:35 am

Well done ITT for taking part in the who's crotch is it anyway challenge (they all wanted to really). As a married woman I of course have no idea of the answer, I even added them blindfolded so as not to abash my delicate persuasion, I think the answers must be sort from the perpetrator who I believe has a birthday coming up, although I would never reveal his name or indeed his crotch :-)

Prez

10/9/2012 02:46:51 pm

I bet his crotch has a mustache too.....

Neil

Yeah. Brave man for having a go.
I wouldn't even know my own crotch if it hit me in the face.
Not from that angle anyway :))

Thank you prez for the very large picture it has cheered me up no end, I'm just filling in the bags under my eyes so i can try to make it out for tomorrow. Thanks for the well wishes too, back off to the doctors on Thurs - all hugs gratefully accepted but disclaimer-( if this does end up being smallpox I accept no responsibility for the outbreak 90% mortality, if however it is rabies you should be ok unless i bite you in which case 100% mortality - YOU DECIDE!) it could of course simply be the anemia in which case I'll be on the Guinness :-)

Hope to see you out tomorrow hun! If you are anemic we'll order up a pint of virgins blood & cover for you by saying you've moved on from rose to a full-bodied red. I'm sure Jovi will join you in that round. If we can,t buy virgins blood we'll just grab Rambo then you would get rabies :)

Is it me or is Lilyhammer the funniest thing on tv at the moment? It has Steve Van Zandt almost reviving his Sopranos role as a NY mobster on a Witness Protection Programme who wants relocated to Lillehammer, Norway cos it looked nice in the '94 Winter Olympics. The first episode is still on BBC iplayer for 4 days & it's on BBC Four on Tuesdays. Give it a go if you have'nt seen it.

Keep On Chumming!!!

Prez

16/9/2012 04:48:09 pm

I watched a wee bit of the first one and agree it's good. I think it will get even funnier as the episodes go on,

Ewan

What can I say about last night lots so here goes.
Thanks Chums for last night it was a great one,
and my birthday card is fab but not sure if I carried the scarf off,
and I am sure there's going to be a lot of pic's to prove it
also the glasses and racing toys if I can call them that were just great
Thanks again CHUMS

Sorry folks. Having a problem with the music room. If it plays up when you visit can you let me or Neil know? Ta.

Neil

20/9/2012 10:14:24 am

Well it just took 5 minutes to load the screen. You'll know when its loaded cos the Goldsmith music will start. You'll all be happy to know I've removed the prog so its safe to go back in the water.

Prez

20/9/2012 10:31:41 am

I like the idea that prog music can disrupt a web page with its awesomeness:)

I can't get the Goldsmith to play fully it keeps buffering so I as yet have no idea what it is.

Its a real easy one this. If you haven't seen the mystery film then I don't know what planet you come from.

Correct again Ewan.
Is anyone else playing?

P.S. I know my guess is'nt technichally sci-fi but it pips the post against 'The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins' for catchiness!

12/10/2012 11:38:14 am

Thats ok cos this weeks Goldsmith challenge isn't technically sci-fi either.
Oh by the way ( Bah Bah ) wrong answer.

There is a Halloween Party in the Linton Holme Inn on Sat 27th October. There is lots of Spooky fun to be had with a late bar and music I'm sure there will be lots of spiders ghosties and ghoulies.
Please come along we will be there about 8.00pm fancy dress is optional but encouraged. The important thing is that we have a Fun Spooky night so please all come along for drinkies and good times :-)
ps The pound shop and B&M have loads of Halloween stuff so no need to spend a fortune :-)

Thanks Shaggy.

Got the lot shifted in one afternoon, Den and Ewan were excellent movers.

Special thanks to Ewan who doubly suffered (in silence) as he is allergic to Cats and he was shifting all the stuff the cats sleep/lounge upon.

Much thanks.

We owe you both a slap up meal at Mrs Miggins' Pie Shoppe with Big Beers.

Cheers Chums.

ITT

20/10/2012 10:15:27 pm
