OK, here it is. A pic of Grant and Anze in our (Jim and me) room. On the wall about head height is the TV. Directly below as a conventional hot water radiator, on the other wall is an electric panel heater.

But Jim said...

:haha:

Aye that hic! :doh:

You were warned but no....Aussies always think they know best :smug:

Oh bugga!! :stare:

Double bugga!! :stare::stare:

Pretty obvious Tony and I have returned home safely so I await similar news from the other four tearaways.

grateful thanks to you all for making the effort to attend and make what was a fantastic 2 1/2 days, I only wish it could have been longer.

@Anze...I will be thinking of you hanging around Stanstead until 7am tomorrow my friend but top marks for getting here....pure SubSim Ninja attitude :sunny:

Picture and stories to follow no doubt but mine may take a little longer than usual because of current pooter technicalities.

@Neal...we all appreciated your SubSim U-Boat cocktails :yeah:

Guess the shirt. And I'd like to thank Grant for his self-editing of the hand gesture, saved me doing it. This was after Grant had got changed due to a 'little accident' ending in wet trousers. I'm assured all those from the Houston meet will know about his weak bladder issue. :03:

Jim trying Anze's honey mead, aka 'paint stripper'. I thought it was lovely.

On a more serious note, it was hard to get Anze out of the Jet Provost cockpit exhibit.

What does this do? What does that do? Neeeeeeeyowwwwww!

And finally from me, for there will be many more by the others, where proper railway locomotion started - Stevenson's Rocket. OK, a replica, but a bloomin' good one.

Indeed, thanks to all that made it, and a safe journey home (if you haven't sold your ticket, Anze?). Lovely to meet some more of you reprobates.

Ooh, they were delicious, expensive, but delicious. :03:

Oberon and Frau were safelly delivered, I'm beginning my airport camping (bloody tourists everywhere), don't know abot tarjak, his route back from Stanstead was a parking lot :hmmm:

@Grant. I trust you washed your SH4 shirt between the 2 subsim meets.:hmmm::O:

Just arrived back in deepest darkest Essex after the drive back doon Sooth. Jamie, Gemma and Anze all delivered to their respective drop off points.

Anze has a bit of a wait for his plane so hope he gets home ok.

It was a real pleasure meeting you all.

I'll see if I can get a working link to some photos but all the ones on the camera will have to wait a few weeks till I get home.

I dunno, I spend three days with an Aussie, get back and then have to help next door with a snake problem. Fortunately it was just a grass snake, unfortunately she'd already brained the poor bugger before she brought it round so I had to put it out of its misery. :nope:

Chaps, it was an absolute pleasure, major thanks to Tarjak for the transportation and sorting the accommodation, and the excellent headgear, and thanks to Jim for the gifts. It was a great time, and brilliant to meet you all. :D

Anyway, without further ado:

So is that part of the old city wall?

Check his pockets!

Have to laugh, was just making a cuppa and a Sea King flew over, made me think of Jim. :03:

Yup. :yep:
