rippo Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'd only just arrived after a 19 hours trip. I was hoping to arrive friday morning, but the truck let me down so i arrived late. But to be honest i'd totaly missed this event. Got to meet a few members on saturday night when the fuel pump packed up. Big thanks to the fantastic Mr catweasle for all his help, i wish i'd took a picture of him sat on his play mat with the fuel pump in a number of bits. Thanks to the chap in the picture above, i've forgot your name, who treked back to dig monktons to get us some tools. Sorry we'd sorted it by the time you got back!! and to everyone else who held the bonnet for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan110 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 CW here comes a good excuse: My daughter tried to eat a wasp just before the BBQ and it bit her on the lip. Had to go and see the Medix people, got a ride in a vehicle with a flashing blue light. They gave her antihistamine and that made her go to sleep a bit early so I had to stay near our tent. Her lip was so swollen that it looked like she was sticking her tongue out. Definitely not nice! Luckily it returned to normal about a day later. Now it's not only the nazis, dust, mud, toilets and showers that have to be overcome but also the agressive wasps Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 A WW2 veteran friend visiting us at Camp Nuts got a Wasp in his mouth while drinking. Luckily he didn't get stung. I hate wasps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The wife got two in quick succession on her arm... However a quick soaking in vinegar seemed to alleviate the worst of it for her! Little blighters seemed unusually bad this year..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 advance warning: we will have a photocall on the sunday of next year's show. It will be in the Americas Field. If Lee and Ian plan to hold a BBQ it will probably be Saturday night in the Americas Field. But they will decide that. Yep, BBQ at HMVF HQ 8pm Saturday 24th July 2010.. maybe if there's enough of us we could combine the photoshoot & BBQ in one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rippo Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yeah the power of the forum certainly worked for me!! The oil pressure gauge developed a leak on the way home, crimped the pipe and all was well. It started raining just after the M25 and did so all the way home. Even without the traffic on the M25 it still took me 8 hours. all good fun and well worth the trip to meet some faces off here. Thanks again mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
