Received details and card inviting me the 2004 event.
I am a bit confused as it asks me to send details back or pre register on line.
As I had already pre -registered online does this mean I have to do it again or should I fill in the details on the form and send it back by post?
Because I want a badge like every body else ;D
Derek over to you ;)

Hi Guys
As I understand it you should receive your tickets direct from Turret RAI in due course.
Speaking to Martin Scott at Turret RAI the other day he tells me that there are people signing up from places as far away as Turkey, Pakistan and others I can't remember plus a delegation from China.
Mr Flynn...Sir, ..This Show is destined to be a bi-annual affair therefore you will have to put up with 'The Cleaning Show' at the NEC next year ;D
Cheers

Mr Bolton

Derek
You mean to tell me I will have a two-hour drive on the worst roads in Britain, rather then 20 minutes in the smog, very sad. I recon pull it down and let them quote for the Olympics.
John where Manchester? Is it in Spain Beck’s country?
Len

John

Len

Hi John
You brought back some memories....
my old Grandfather whenever he talked about Manchester added "It's always raining in Manchester"...
Come to think of it every time I have been there it has rained
Derek

To be True, To be True ::) :o ::)
-
Derek & John,
Memories here too.
On seing a black cloud approaching, my father, the eternal optimist, would say
"Don't worry, it's just an 'empty' on its' way back from Manchester"
John.

If you can't see the Pennines looking out from Manchester its raining!
If you can see the Pennines looking out from Manchester its about to rain!
I was born in Oldham, my only memories of that time was no central heating, bath time was in the sink, toilet outside in the yard, mice running around in the living room. :'(
It was bloody cold in winter I know that much :(.

Hey Phil
It hasn't changed ;) ;) ;)

Phil
You have the same memories as wife but she had tin bath in front of fire pushing chicken feathers out of the way that’s when she was 16, first year of our marriage she absolutely went bananas when my dad brought round some fowl!
John am getting you lingo please give me time still trying to understand friend of 10 years from Newcastle
Len
-
TIN BATH!!!
She must have lived in a posh area!
Do you know the highlight of my week back then was going to the Laundrette with my Gran. ;D
Phil
-
Phil
Oh! .. the tin bath in front of the fire...once a week
When I was a little lad Laundrette's were non existant.... some folk used to send their children to the local laundry with a bag of washing for them to do for them.
Of course we 'posh people' had a coal fired copper in the corner of the kitchen which heated water and then the wash was inserted...whites first with the 'dolly blue' then coloureds... these were then taken out and put into a rinse tub and out through a mangle...I remember well swinging that handle to squeeze out excess water.
Brother John will have tears welling up in his eyes with all this nostalgia
Derek
-
DB, John may be welling up ...........BET you wish you were at Campaign Cup. ;D
Be there tomorrow ;)
-
The boiling DoDa in the corner of the kitchen was refered to in Gods Country as The Set Pot!!
I remember once my mother got her fingers in the mangle and it spilt them open.
Oh Derek, as the saying goes "The Good Old Days"!!!, these ere yunguns on here dont know what a good life they have :o :o :o
-
Chris
Thank you for reminding me of the good times...still sadly missed...keep a tight check on the chrono!
John
The good old days eh... in a lot of ways you are right... we left doors open...No burglars came in to steal... people were more friendly and not 'in your face' as the modern day saying goes
People didn't seem to be so stressed out either...in fact had stress been invented?
Derek
-
DB.......................300fps........900 max :o
You know what i mean. ::)
Only ever got 301 twice but with 297 & 298 :P TO THE LIMIT ;D

Phil
One has to remember she comes from rural Kent straw out the mouth. By the way Wife’s reply what’s a launderette she had to use the local quagy (river plus stone) I think OMO or as like just come on the market.
John I’m into nostalgia but not in front of the misses’ reminds me of a person called spend-spend Viv ;D
Len

Derek,
Not tears of nostalgia tears of mirth.
One Monday (everyone washed on Monday) when I was about four, there was a terrible wailing from the wash-house of next-door-but-one.
Mrs Pickles, her ample but saggy figure draped in a floral pinafore, with knotted headscarf atop, had been putting her sheets energetically through the mangle.
First 'pinny' then right breast entered between the rollers. Once my mother realised what had occurred, I was dragged back home, but I remember the fire brigade turning up and as I watched from our garden, I saw firemen coming out of the washouse, hands over mouths, trying to silence their laughter, returning to the rescue only when they could keep a strait face.

;D ;D ;D ;D
Those were the Days!!
-
We must have been posh cos WE had a one family two holer not a two family four holer.

I was hoping to go to Carpex have applied but awaiting badge.
Form did not make it easy to take Mrs G.
However I am not an ideal visitor as I will not be spending 300k
More like £100.
However I do have a plan for World Domination
-
Ian
Glad you are taking Mrs G = Gribble saves me the trouble even though you will only spend £100 that will save me money she has a list!
Len
-
has anyone had there tickets yet? and has anyone booked into any of the seminars yet ?
and am i asking these questions too early?
-
If you registered for the show you can register for the seminars online.

Nick
Too early methinks, saying that the post ant that good at the moment, perhaps it via Indian call centre via Aus who knows. ;D ;D
Len
-
Dennis,
You can register an interest in the seminars, but this does not reserve you a place - It will be simply a matter of queueing up on the day - too far back in the queue and you don't get in. :(
John.
-
John
As I understand it all those registering will be allocated a space....if the seminar is fully booked you won't get in if you haven't pre-booked.... first in the queue or not.
Derek
-
looked at the site and it says that booking dosent automatically get you a place its just for the numbers, to avoiddissapointmnet arrive at rooms 15mins early
so there could be schoolboy pushing in the queue
