I've just remembered, nobody has said they are bringing a BBQ... ...I still haven't replaced mine since the garage incident :(
Plan B is to nip down one of the take aways, which I might anyway, but sometimes its nice to be able to cure the late evening munchies ;D
-
I don't have one to bring :-[
-
This is good. The last thing fat, middle-aged men need is a barbecue. ;D
-
We haven't room for one. Plus I'll have the event shelter to bring
-
If the shop "Bargain Buys" has made it down south, they do a travel one that folds down neatly, enough for a couple of people... Only about fifteen quid, so don't expect it to last, mind you...
-
rent one :y

May have a small one in the trailer tent, until I can get it up when it stops raining I won't know. I am taking an old George foreman grille and griddle, for my bacon and eggs for breakfast.
If I have a BBQ it won't be very big....I'll let you know later :y
-
Opened the trailer....there is one in there, and I have found another one in the garden. Both need TLC but may suit our purpose. Both are charcoal. I'd prefer to keep it that way with TB around. :)

And what are you trying to imply Mr Terbs?
(I'm not allowed another gas one according to "her")

Seems quite sensible really. :-\ :P ;D
-

Nothing, actually.
As you have just been through one trauma, I did not want you to suffer the same again, should the worst happen. ;) ::)
Incidently, what are you like in the vicinity of charcoal ;)

It's fire... He should be kept away at all times! ;)

It's simple:
1. bring a gas BBQ minus the gas bottle.
2. Hook up gas regulator to Jimbob's arse
3. connect gas BBQ to regulator
4. dont forget to switch off the Jimbob gas supply before the chiminea competition ::)

Most gas regulators are only designed to cope with the vapour pressure of Propane, so a mere 10 BAR ish at room temperature. I don't think that'll end well. :-X

Plenty of regulators that can handle high-pressure methane, we just need to make sure Jimbob eats plenty of naga curries this week :D

2 BBQ's resurrected, and a George Foreman double grill. I am going to eat well ;D
Got sausages, bacon, and chicken and steaks, and a bit of salad. 3 cans of Stowford Press, was 4 but one just blew up. And two bottles of red wine, and swmbo's drink.
Canvas all waterproofed....some of the rings look a bit iffy, but will call at Oxford Caravans on the way. Just in case, don't fancy waking up looking at the stars ;D
Anyone got any charcoal and lighters, or have I got to do that too !!!!!
-
Don't forget your thermals as they have forecast an Arctic plume across the country over the weekend.

I can see this turning into one of Seths'
notorious world renowned firework displays napalm trade shows... ::)

Oh cock, I knew there was something I forgot. Can you pick some up, and I'll bung you the dosh - I've packed the car, and its proper full... ...and there is only 2 of us :o
I'll pack a MAP based lighter to help light it, and the chimnea....
-
Car virtually packed, just need to lob the food in the fridge tomorrow when we leave, and the duvet etc.

Weather looks to be OK for us campers, albeit a bit chilly overnight. Obviously if EMD was coming, he'd need to wear his 99p eskimo suit... ...then something warmer for the evening ;D

Far be it from me to suggest the news headline could be: "Explosion in Newent bigger than Tianjin" ::) ;D
-
I couple of quick quizzes sorted, to ponder over whilst having a little drink*
* Which I obviously do not partake in ::)
-
Just waiting for Mrs TB to get her 'arris home, then she can chuck the food in the fridge, which has nicely cooled down, and we'll set off.
I reckon we'll leave about 2pm, and get slightly 'dangle berries'ed in Oxford and Gloucester Friday afternoon traffic, so ETA approx. 4ish.
-
Andy's top tip for today... avoid motorways on a Friday wherever ye be. :y *
* Based on a full 25 year study of enduring traffic jams on every motorway in the country ;D
Andy's 2nd top observation for today..... The A34 isn't much better either!
-
How's it all going then , have you lit the gas yet ::)
-

Why, that's what insurance is for, so you don't need them. :y

Sadly.....and sometimes tragically, shit happens, we are all human and sometimes make mistakes :'( hope the pilot recovers and has vindicating information about the airframe :-\

The clue is probably 'pilot'.

TB + Gas = Involuntary Pilot looking for somewhere to land. :o :o :o :o

Fortunately, I took absolutely no photos, so there is no evidence of anything :P

Well the weather was certainly kind to you.

A vaguel recall getting wet Friday night, but I had my beer coat on.

Just got to Wareham from Newent....fantastic weekend. Really good laugh, nice to meet Mark, Andy B, and Jon (Captain Zok) and Jimbob and their families :y
I have a few pics, which if any good, I'll put up later. We went to the International Bird of Prey Centre, which was good. Saturday night was curry night, with Jimbob's arse in fine fettle.
Thanks Captain, for the suggested route to Wareham....made good time, and good direct roads, until I got stuck behind two MOD Tanks !!!!!
Definately going next year if all is well. :y However, I am still concerned as to the original place of the fence poles and panels we burnt. I am having visions of some farmer searching for his livestock.
Oh and the beer , wine and spirits flowed well.
Hope you others had safe trips back. :y
-
Yep a good weekend was had by all. :y :y
-
Hope you others had safe trips back. :y
Well, I made it up Birdlip without too much hassle, despite the pillock who pulled into outside lane, then slowed down and didn't gun it until the steeper incline starts... ...so I'd lost all momentum.
It was the other side of Oxford that there was a sudden judder, followed be Christmas tree dashboard...
-
..... followed be Christmas tree dashboard...
:o ;D ;D ;D
-
Cheers all for another good meet, good to see the old and some new faces.
Had a crap trip down, but a good meet and good trip home.
Sorry, due to 'technical difficulties' no photos from me this year.

You forgot the camera?

Nope. Lost autofocus at an airshow the week before. Not had a chance to check it over yet :-(

What's wrong with doing it the old fashioned way? Other than the amount of alcohol imbibed?

Rosberg impersonation?
-
No photos? :o There must have been shenanigans! :y
-
I have some photos but they need processing which my netbook isn't really up to doing and Newent 3g is delivered on a bit of damp string I think.
So piccys will have to wait till we get home.

Note to self, next year bring more stilton :y ;D

It did go down exceptionally well. As did your port. And the trip around the Isle of Islay on Friday night. I blame Hotel21 for the latter, as its now become tradition.

..... And the trip around the Isle of Islay on Friday night. ..
It was noted that I had 'a wobble on' ....... ::) I think she was making it up though ;D

If I had a decent split prism focus screen then yes, but the red square system does not work well.
Just given the camera a sensor clean as testing showed it was the more accurate centre focus point that was misbehaving.
Need to test some more, but it looks a promising start.
Frankly I wanted to leave the camera alone until I had a chance to have a proper look. Shame as there was much to photograph.

That must be why I had a wobble on Friday night. I am pretty sure my tent kept dodging from left to right as I walked towards it. :)
