Jack Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Having spent the weekend at Weymouth Veterans Weekend I have complied a lits of ten things I learnt whilst at shows........... Your wifes cooking really is the best in the world You aren't so young as you used to be so stop kidding yourself that you can 'rough' it for a weekend Sleeping bags are designed for kids and not grown men It doesn't matter how many layers you wear - you are still going to freeze to death Cots really aren't the way to get a good nights sleep It doesn't matter if you forget to pack your teddy Driving directly behind Jims Sherman tank is no good for your hearing Hanging around in direct sun light waiting for one stuff up after another to be sorted is no good for ones boyish good looks All men above the age of 40 snore Not to try and have a joke with an organiser who is clearly stressed out...unless you want to hear some swear words that you have never heard of before Quote
Mark Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 How many men above the age of 40 have you slept with then Jack :rofl: Quote
Tony B Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 SNORING!! Be thankful the noise and air was coming out THAT end!:n00b: (Anyway if you want sanity, why buy a military vehicle) Quote

Tony B Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Another thing you learn: There is no discrimination on grounds of sex, colour , age, or social standing , anyone can be a twit! :shake: Quote
john wheatley (R.I.P.) Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 One more thing: parents don't like it when you point out to them that the side mirror that their "little darling" is swinging on is part of an historic military vehicle and not a f-----g adventure playground :nono: Regards, John.

Tony B Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Best one I've ever seen was after the little**** finished clambering all over an MV, the owner followed them then trampled all over there car. As the guy in question is about 9 foot large and uses 1 inch steel for toothpicks, not a lot was said. Quote
john wheatley (R.I.P.) Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Wish I'd been there to see it :cool2: Quote

antarmike Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 When you arrive at a show, the vehicle you have brought isn't the one you bboked in way back in February... Quote
antarmike Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Safety officers the world over are brain dead Quote
antarmike Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 You still can't remember the name of the guy who has just started talking to you, but you know you didn't know who he was last year either... Quote
antarmike Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 If someone say to you "I have some photos of you in the beer tent last year" the least embarrasing thing to say is " sorry, you must be getting me mixed up with someone else, I couldn't get here last year" Quote
antarmike Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 You remember you got lost at the same T junction last year too.... Quote
woa2 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 60% of the stuff you take to shows, you take home again never having used/touched/eaten etc Yes, but the one item you can't do without is the one you left at home. Also, if there are 2 of you, it is always the other one's fault it wasn't packed. Quote
Jack Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 Yes, but the one item you can't do without is the one you left at home. Also, if there are 2 of you, it is always the other one's fault it wasn't packed. :rofl::rofl::rofl: not just me then! And I always remeber it exactly 8 miles from home :shocked: Quote
