Yes a good time was had by all.

Though i thought that Steve was a wee bit unsure about what would happen when

it was bed time with all these big burly men sleeping in the same room.

I personally think that he went over the top with his passion killer BIG PANTS see

for your self what i am talking about.

[tom.yates]

HMMMM Perhaps he was going hunting the bears.

[daz]

Is that........ FLOCKING on his head?????

[Ant]

I'm a little more concerned about the tent that has been pitched on the road!!!

Sounds like you all had fun.

Ant

Time to explain a few inside jokes, perhaps

On the gate to the cottage was a sign saying "Do not feed the bears in the woods" - but we assumed it was therefore OK to feed them tasty morsels from the dinner table!!

Greg was Chef, and did a damned fine job of it - I think we all agree

Greg was given a little wind up when told he would have to paint his silver ToU black to stop getting the Philips logo reflected back onto the images. Paint or flocking would do the trick. He took it manfully, and we were careful to do this AFTER he had cooked all the meals!!

Jamie woke everyone up at 3am Sunday morning, by having an argument with someone in his sleep. Some of the choicest Glaswegian phraseology was employed to get his point across!!!

We're not saying Steve is short, but the freezer trousers he has on are in fact Jamie's summer shorts (they have it harsh in Scotland)

Tom is wealthy enough to throw his Apo refractor off the dining room table

James hates Devon cream teas, which he proved by eating four (I think) scones with 2 tonnes of cream and jam

I, of course, was a model house-mate and the sensible one of the bunch!!!

I'm glad someone has.....

Tom dropped his Apo? I'd be in tears......

[daz]

Before the SP, but yes, he tells us he did!

He was desperate for a clear night to test it....

[tom.yates]

Yes and still waiting, its Hissing it down so i hope i get a clear night this week

Tom

[daz]

Fingers crossed the scope is OK Tom

Watch out for those bears when you do go out :shock:

[OXO]

I, of course, was a model house-mate and the sensible one of the bunch!!!

Ask Tom what you do in your sleep Daz  

Best of luck Tom with the scope, must say from looking at it i think you will be ok as the Dew Shield too the brunt of it..

James

[daz]

Ask Tom what you do in your sleep Daz

errm, :? :? what?

[tom.yates]

Well Daz the second night i think you thought i was a jack russel as you attempted to give me a stroke .

Tom.

[Greg]

Was a pleasure.

Greg was given a little wind up when told he would have to paint his silver ToU black to stop getting the Philips logo reflected back onto the images. Paint or flocking would do the trick.  He took it manfully, and we were careful to do this AFTER he had cooked all the meals!!

Tom was doing an excellent job of explaining how to improve my 200mm Newt by "Flocking" the inside.........Then James grabs my Tou cam and rabbits on about the thing reflecting onto the image and the logo showing through .....So I should paint it black or "Flock" it.

Needless to say I fell for it big time........

I will bring my special recipe book next time!

When you are my height (5' 6" is normal, the rest of you are freaks) and sleeping between a Glaswegian giant and a Welshman ... its better to be safe than sorry!

[GazOC]

Hey! I'm only 5'7! Is Jamie a big, scary Scotsman?

[Greg]

Steve,

It's called a Celt Buttie and you should be honoured!

[FLO]

Is Jamie a big, scary Scotsman?

I'd step out of his way on a dark night :blackeye:
