I do find English a very confusing medium.

Mid-week, Ed says "next Saturday".

It's now Friday and I've heard zip. Is next Saturday not this Saturday but next or is it the next Saturday to occur?

Off to The Bell to see if Adnams can offer a solution!

Ed if it is this w/e - it'd be great to know and if it is not this w/e it'd be great to find out why? Surely your school nativity play is not on tour - the tutu had to go back to your sister, I recall you saying!

Just a shame the TeeTee isn't heading off, too, too! However, I'm sure that I'll have space in my cellar for all the wine that you owe!

Don't rib him too much, else I'll PM him with tales of your antics in Ozark! :ugh:

Gosh, the suspense is killing me..... :bored:

Monocock 20th Nov 2004 06:13

Me too.

I'm out all day shooting fluffy things.

If it happens can someone text me......:D

Whirlybird 20th Nov 2004 06:23

So who's going to start taking bets? :)

stiknruda 20th Nov 2004 08:13

I'm out all day shooting things too (must get as much in as poss before this government start to ban that, too) - so even if tKf's school play has not gone on nationwide tour and he expects to play with his new toy today, he will be a little dissapointed.

Tonight, I'm partying with a cute little fluffy thing so will not want to open up the hangar at first light tomorrow.

Having not heard from Ed in well over a week now, I wonder if he is still alive?

Stik

DT - Ozark? Never heard of it - I fear that you are confusing me with Spanky?

I was bimbling around Essex in a flexwing microlight today. Over to Felixstowe, into Andrewsfield for the all day brekkie and a warming coffee with the boys.

TkF missed a classic day.

I would have thought the Chinese Army wouldn't stop him flying his new toy. Has he got cold feet?

DubTrub 20th Nov 2004 23:28

Mr Stik,

Since it evidently wasn't you, I can reveal all:

There was aparently a group of Brits who turned up to a US Fly-in, and all hell broke loose in the deep and dark depths of the Alabama countryside. The local men were frightened, the sheep scared, and the llamas...well, they were all wearing neck braces the moment they heard of the arrival.

I heard that nastershiums were cast,
insults exchanged,
threats threatened,
beer drunk,
vocarious songs sung,
and devout promises of an annual return promised.

So can I come next year?

Lucky you, barshaker. I had planned to do some flying with Genghis in the Thruster, and then some solo. As we drove down the M3 it started to rain, then sleet. By the time we got to Popham the snow was coming down thick and fast. So much for the weather forecast which had been showing sun in the south. :(

Monocock 21st Nov 2004 19:59

Another poorly forecasted weekend by Mr Tyler, Fish and his cronies.

I was expecting blue skies at dawn and a crunch under foot yesterday as I went out to polish off some pheasants. Instead I was met with drizzle, sleet and fog. What a downer, but at least I wasn't looking overhead at a sky I would rather be flying in.

When I returned home I did the usual www.xcweather.co.uk check and realised the South west had drawn the short straw this weekend. The SE was stunning all day by the looks of things.

That VP1 will be a collectors item soon.........

Uh......NO!!!

Ended up being dragged around every possible kitchen DIY store in Sussex :{ At least I'm on a promise if it's done by Christmas :p

Come on tKF - any news?

stiknruda 22nd Nov 2004 08:49

Dubtrub - if you let me know who you are, I'll point you to the URL that has all the nasty pix of this alleged incident!

DubTrub 22nd Nov 2004 08:56

PM in the post, Stik.

That's just the problem, it hasn't been collected.

stiknruda 22nd Nov 2004 16:33

tKf phoned me at 1430 today (why wasn't he at school - waste of my tax?)
Saturday 27 is the day - he intends to arrive Fri eve, fly it early Sat and then head off home. This then gives him Sunday as contingency or time in Kent to show it to his mates.

Greetings all - been away since Friday so missed out on this thread coming alive.

This weekend just gone was never an option, I was in London all weekend (A level stuff :() - sorry for the confusion caused - especially stik.

Anyway, this Saturday is hopefully going to be the day...let's keep those fingers crossed then :)

TheKentishFledgling 26th Nov 2004 09:51

Well tomorrow's the day! Wx looks quite promising, and fuel stop is sorted (Great Oakley).

Fingers crossed, wave if you see a Veep flying between Norfolk and kent!
