Amazing isn't it the memories and emotions stirred by an old pile of steel on wheels...funny things 'we' humans !.
Anyway back to topic....GCRS stand on the Sunday....for cars, trains and banter !!!!.
Cheers Tony.

Well I'm in a right old dilemma....
My lad's mate wants to come with us. His Mom wants to come... so SWMBO is thinking about coming along too :confused:

The excuse of "I can only get 4 people in on one Ticket" hasn't worked, and there is the benefit of the fact that when the two lads get bored, they can all clear off to the nearby park and McDonalds for a while (hopefully just before 1pm)... BUT...

How the hell am I going to prevent SWMBO from seeing all those Price Tags on stuff....???? :confused:

I wouldn't be too concerned about what you've spent, it's when the penny drops and they work out it can all be sold for that price, suddenly decorating, new kitchens and sofa's are hot topics of conversation.

Look on the bright side, at least the row won't begin until after you've got home and the guest have departed LOL.

You leave price tags on? Madness! Peel the damned things off.

My Dad had a Victor and used to pick me up from school on Saturday lunchtime. One day he was a bit late and as I was going to see Nottm. Forest (up the reds - in those days!!!) on an early kick-off (before they had floodlights) he put his foot down. At one point going down hill the speed on the clock was well over the 100 mark and I looked down in the footwell and all I could see was the road surface between the door and frame. The door was oscillating in the frame like a good 'un, told my Dad what I had seen and he tried to get more speed out of the damned vehicle to see if he could get the gap wider - and this was in the days before seat belts had even been thought of. Good job Mum wasn't in the car except when we got home and Mum said "I wasn't expecting you for another 10 minutes". Oh really was Dad's comment and I got out of the room quickly before bursting out laughing. Seems he had been just as quick getting over to pick me up though he never admitted it - or denied it. Those were the days.

Sorry, couldn't resist the story.

I love the way you guys all think I'm so thick as to leave price tags on things I take home... I was meaning how do I stop SWMBO from seeing the prices on all the juicy stuff on the TRADE STANDS!?!?!
"No Dear, I SWEAR I don't have any JLTRT Locos - honest!!!"

...and you bunch of Hooligans better not drop me in it either!!!

Fireworks will probably go off in the Car Park near chucking out time.... :shit:

Jordan, you could tell her that thems starting prices and no one EVER pays that for a kit. Also you could try all prices are for non members of the guild and members get for around half that

................ She may fall for it.

Rob

lancer1027 · 4/9/13

If you give me the nod i could always come over , whilst your looking at stuff and say " I've just managed to get myself a good deal on a kit for just over £200

.

But then once ive gone she might batter you and say " DONT YOU EVER THINK OF PAYING THAT FOR A KIT "

:oops:

Us? Really?

You might be about to find out who are your (7mm) friends.

Scale7JB · 4/9/13

I would probably take some extreme safety measures to ensure this page doesn't get seen too..

First rule of SWMBO, don't talk about SWMBO

Second rule of SWMBO, don't talk about SWMBO....

Why not just 'browse' round with SWMBO in toe, not letting her have chance to see prices, Then at 1pm introduce her to Iploffy & Marsa (Other members are available), Then slip away for an hour or two :))

Oi! It's bad enough babysitting the Colonel and diverting his ball and chain from the prices. I don't need to run interference for someone else :rant:

And seeing as YOU thought of it soldier then well volunteered that man. Front and centre Private
