Farthest From VII

[Richard_H]

Grant did lose us this quiz. 42, 8, and a couple of others were all down to him.


btw is that a photo of my arse or is it Ben not smiling properly?

Were all the SS gifts handed out?

Only the ones that were there.

Have to say, whoever my secret Santa was, was a star, loved it. So generous.

I WANT that SS gift of yours! Green eyes. You HAVE to let me have it (jedi mind trick mode)

All i can remember about the quiz is providing loads of answers on the vintage collection round and richard ignoring them. Thats the only question i got right... But would have scored us points... If someone had paid attention!!!!!

Oh yeah.. And there was that question on vintage collecting which I 'spooned' out of literally nowhere

 

[Richard_H]

You did well with the 31.

I never heard you. The loud mouthed football hooligan went quiet as a mouse when the pressure was on.

I think it was your arse, although it might have been your face. It's so vey hard to tell as they look similar and **** comes out of both ends.

I have you the answer to the squid head question as well, but you didn't listen. Of course he has a total of six fingers and thumbs and not four. You obviously got him confused with Dr zoidberg.

Great to see so many forum faces yesterday as well as a few Fordingbridge regulars, a top day out as usual, sold a bit, bought a lot - well done Dave, roll on the next one in March/April 2015!

 

[Robstyley]

Contrary to popular belief I can confirm Stu and I were totally innocent on the table of doom, it was entirely Grant and Nick instigating and carrying out four shot sambuca "runs" across the road. And that was before the ****ing second bottle arrived!

 

[naughtyjedi]

Nice to meet you Rob...

Thanks to everyone who came down, I'm glad you all had a blast.

Huge thanks to those on the forum who not only provided the worlds most awesome cake, but also shipped the catalogues sat over with James, it was most unexpected and massively appreciated

Big thanks also to Richard and Richard for donating free prizes for the evening meal and also Richard (again), Grant, Jason and Neil for their presentations on the day.

There is a lot of things for me to look at to see if the evening portion was a success or not, but welcome feedback as always to help make the event stronger and more interesting each time.
For those folk that attended the evening event, is that something you would do each time? ie spring, summer and winter? Or just for Christmas?

Awesome pics Jason, if anyone has any more I'd love to see them, and if no one has any objections, I'd like to use them for a photo gallery of the show

Dave.

I'd love to come to one of these one day and meet the gang but its a bit of a trek for me to come to from the big smoke

Jason posted a link earlier.

it's 70 mins from Sunbury, 2 hours door to door from Harlow in Essex, so if you are inbetween there from west London, somewhere between 70-120 minutes, which is the same journey time from London to Memorabilia at the NEC (or a tube journey around London ), the difference being is there is vintage at Farthest From

[eddiebigbiscuits]

Great show..

The best bit for me is the genuine enthusiasm for it and none of the pretentious nonsense you get from other toy collecting areas.


Hat tipped to you guys.

Less than 12 Paresecs for me... :wink:

 

[David Tree]

Richard, you're not the record holder either, Brian Cameron who has done the last two comes down from Aberdeen

 

[Richard_H]

True - there's commitment for you. I thought he came from Inverness.

 

[David Tree]

Same thing isnt it?

Technically Gus is the record holder from Seattle, I think that's about 5 more miles or so?
