[ATAG_Highseas]

I may try coming to see you guys at Duxford, but I'm not sure my Dad would like it...I'll have to ask him...

I had to ask my wife and kids...

(I already had my ticket by then though... )



hehe !

[SPITFIREPILOT]

Duxford , duxford, duxford! Live about an hour away, anyone planning to go to the Battle of Britain airshow in September?

[BOO]

Nothing ventured - nothing gained and I know this is cheeky but-

does anyone staying on the campsite on the Friday night have a spare place in their tent for a Boo?

I'm bringing antoher Clodder down on the Sunday but it would be nice to be able to partake in Friday drinkies if there was a chance.

Id be happy to pay for the pitch for the Friday as a gesture of thanks.

Cheers

BOO

[Nork]

I'll bring some cans and some prawns to throw on the barbie.
Gonna missing out on the camping thing tho,
the wife has insisted on a comfortable hotel room in Cambridge.
Oh well, sacrifices must be made. : )

[ATAG_Highseas]

I'm bringing my very own portable château. I will be putting signs up too.

No talking.
No laughing.
No removing the signs.


That sort of thing.

When I watched that there was a soundtrack of Yotheguy playing in my head.

"erm 'SEAS... no!!!... don't turn so hard Ahhhhhh... you are gonna stall it man... ahhh!!!.... 'Seas, serious... don't turn so hard. It's not a Hurricane dude.

then the soundtrack goes silent.

But only because I can't bare listening to the "See... see that?... it told you so . man... I told you so.

Then he pulls some dumb arse manoeuvre and says simply "Rad"

Which is a bit weird really given that I mainly use ailerons, elevator and a touch of rudder myself.

Hey Folks

So Tickets and Campsite booked so I'll be there again this year.

Looking forward to the Friday night shenanigans again.


Lew I hope you've been practicing your Turkish. I expect you to order us all kebabs in Turkish this year

[ATAG_Highseas]

I might grow an RAF moustache for this.

So glad you are making it this year Frank....I have over booked my tent and have 3 ATAGers who I have assured could stay in yours!..

That should tickle your wife's fancy.....


Well..... if you have a wife..... if not, then please consider this statement retracted.....



Edit: Assuming that she has a fancy!

Hahahaha!... yes it should!

[ATAG_Lewis]

lol...

[BOO]

More likely to just collect soup though.....

Nice touch on your sig Lewis S!

[ATAG_Highseas]

Don't knock my day job buster.

(There is a fly in yours by the way)

That sort of thing.

Seas......I'm a bit worried about your 'portable chateau.' I've heard about these things..very useful after a hard Friday night session at The Eagle but does it do 'solids' or only 'liquids?' And do we have to bring our own Lew' paper? Ha ha! S!
(Sorry, Lew!)

[ATAG_Vampire]

I thought you already had one Seas? Well you do on this signed 'Fan' photo you sent to me for £20!!!!!

...anyone else see a design flaw in the location of that button in the pic?

Who you calling a button mister ??!

[ATAG_Frankenstien]

Well 3 might be a push Lew lol but hey it'll be cosy

[farley]

Well i would love to make it to Duxford 2017, but I can't. I hope to in the next year or two though.

But what i can do is make a suggestion.... and here it is:

Every year the DAG (Duxford ATAG Gang) has a theme song for the year.

I think that it might be fun to submit your "song of the year", and see if it is picked by? maybe the group going votes? That bit can be figured out by those with clearer minds than mine. And Lew can blast it out of the boombox I'm sure he must take.....

Anyhow, here is my pick for the DAG 17 group...... cuz it's gonna be a bunch of young dudes going, right?!

And my choice is, "All The Young Dudes", by Mott The Hoople.

I feel it is a good choice, cuz Bowie did a cover of it at his Isle of Wight show, and goodness knows, both red and blue hang around that place a lot (although the blues tend to be uninvited guests on the Isle)......



Well I think it might be fun. Anyone care to join in?

Cheers!

[ATAG_Highseas]

Bowie wrote that. For Mott the Hoople.

All us young dudes recall this well.

He then released it himself after they did.

I prefer the mott the hoople version .

Boo, you know the number 1 rule for camping with other men dont you?

Beware of campsites with Rainbows on them! Big Bertha, may turn out to be Big Bert!....Just saying....

I didn't know that. HS. I knew the Mott version first, and was actually going to put that up until i saw the Isle of Wight version and tied that in to CLoD.

Learn something new every day...... and did you know that Cleveland Rocks!

Abd ya, Sp00k, i have to agree that the rainbow flag and friendly wave might make me just a tad nervous......

To give equal stage time... here you go:



Good stuff eh!

Edit: Not that I am against the rainbow flag or all that it stands for..... just being silly, as i usually am here....

[BOO]
