Great Southern Bash (PARKING)

[Waka]

All I can say is, thank you for coming. Really good to see old and new faces and yet again I learnt quite a few thing.

Thanks to LN for those supurb pasties and all those that gave the demonstrations, now I know what I can fill those empty drawers with.

Later on today I'll be doing a tool inventory just to ensure the tool collectors among you haven't added anything. :lol: :lol:

Once again thanks to all, for me it was what the forum represents.

Finally Tom and I left with our reputation for being last out unscathed.

Mark I'm not sure you worded that right. More like Tom and Mark were being kicked out after everyone else had left, YET AGAIN!

:lol:

Tony,
Great day, many thanks to you & Gill.
I had a great time, loved the 3 phase thing from 9fingers, it really is food for thought.
Thanks to LN for the contribution to my already not insusbstantial waistline with the pasties.
Good to see all the old and new faces.
I'm offering about 3-1 that Rob ends up with a Domino.
The LV Skew Rebate was my favourite item, thanks for bringing it along Jeremy. Also the HNT shaves, superb!
Cheers all.

What a lie! :shock: We all know how you were drooling when you held those old balls, I got a pic to prove it. :lol:

No surprise when you asked if it was your Secret Santa pressie. :lol:

 

[Lord Nibbo]

What a surreal day, I knew everyone there but had never met any before, what funny world this internet is.

Well when I watch those award programmes on the telly I cringe when their speeches only contains thanks to all the people they know or helped make them famous, you know it's coming when they start with "I'd like to start with thanks to" :roll:

So just to be different :lol: I'd like start with thanks to Mr & Mrs Waka for the warm welcome, the eye popping banquet (McDonalds eat you heart out) and for the invitation to attend such a gathering of like thinking people who share with me the love that is our hobby of making trees into fire wood, I don't include Martin, I have it on authority that he never makes anything :wink: but as one of the biggest tool **** men in the collectors world he does deserve a mention. :lol:

So it just remains for me to say once again thank you to Mr & Mrs Waka and also to everyone I met and got to talk to, it was a very memorable day I enjoyed every minute seeing you all in the flesh. :lol:

So here are just a few pics of the day.


A Special Philly Plane

Tool ****

and of course the day would not be complete without a pic of that gorgeous cabinet. :lol:

:lol:

I've seen several references to it, but how on earth did you get Lie Nielsen to provide the pasties. I bet they were shiny and tasted lovely

 

[Escudo]

Glad to see everyone enjoying themselves.

Meetings and gatherings of forum friends are always great.

Hope to make it to the next do........Yandles in the spring?

Cheers, Tony.

The Kent dwellers are throwing about some ideas for a bash up this way next year if there'd be interest.

I trust you were referring to the size of my collection.....
and as for lusting after those balls.... !!

That's good news chaps. We'll sort the details in the new year. Probably early spring, so we're not freezing our totes off.

 

[Waka]

Count me in.
