Fleet Air Arm Group Build

Great News Roy! Good for you!

Maybe we can organize a bus trip out to help you move! 

 Hello my name is Roy and I buy model kits.

Spoke to Frank today about the idea of a support network?  Who out there needs a sponsor?  let me know who will take part and we can pair you up with someone.

Also I want to share some great news with you guys.  If all goes well we should have the keys for our new home on 31 March

Now who of you are willing to help us move in?  Rum and food will be provided.

 Darren, PM recieved & You're very Welcome.  Hope to get them in the Post tomorrow.

Regards,  Rick

Darren (Tango1)... PM recieved & reply inbound.

Regards,  Rick

Darren-

Well, they say everything comes in threes.  A poke to the eye, then an infection in your mouth/throat, and now an infection in your bad eye.  That's three, you're all finished!

Chin up mate, it's gonna be better soon!  An extra tot of rum ought to do the trick nicely.

Sometimes............you have to laugh or you'll cry. Lads, I have caught an infection in my bad eye. Spent the morning in hospital then did my shift at work. I'm so tired-I have managed to bring my rest day forward so I will have Tuesday off duty. I think I will sleep well!

OK, one more shift to go............

Nam,

Glad to see you're feeling better!  Must have been the extra rum rations...

And now, a little pirate humor from over on ARC:

A pirate is on his ship, with his First Mate standing next to him. As they look out on the sea, another ship appears on the horizon. The Pirate looks at his First Mate and says: "Get me Red Shirt from me locker!" The First Mate gets the shirt, the Pirate puts it on, they attack the other ship and plunder it.
The Pirate removes the shirt, and the First Mate puts it back in it's locker. Later, as they look out on the sea, two ships appear on the horizon. The Pirate looks at his First Mate and says: "Get me Red Shirt from me locker!" The First Mate gets the shirt, the Pirate puts it on, they attack the ships and plunder them.
The First Mate asks the Pirate: "Why do you put on that Red Shirt to attack?" The Pirate replies: "It's so me crew doesn't loose confidence. If I get hurt and bleed, they won't know." Just then, they look up and see twenty boats on the horizon. The First Mate smiles and asks: "Do you want me to get your Red Shirt?" The Pirate replies: "No, get me Brown Pants!"

Isn't the Earl of Wessex busy with that Other Bolyne Girl?

What????

I'm punchy from too much sleep! Feel like a million bucks though! Time for tots somewhere on earth yet?

My name is David.....and I buy kits for Nam

Nam- LOL, you're killing me!

Dave-   Hope this helps you to feel better soon!

Roy- Thanks again for your help, my wallet thanks you!  But, I am still struggling- found a few kits I don't have but want...

Oh, dear... think I may be in trouble!

Darren- "Hi, Darren"

My name is Frank, and I buy model kits.

Roy! Too much comedy here, I swear!

Good luck on the bid!..................If you are going to have a sponsor....or co-dependent, you know you can't do better than Frank!

(even though Darren is applying for the job!) 

Hello. My name is Darren......................I buy model kits.

Darson, great to see that you got your gift.  i think the F-86 is one of the greatest all time good looking aircraft.

Well mates, we put a bid on another house, hope they accept this one.  Should know by Sunday.

For those of us that are trying not to by more kits may I suggust you get a support buddy.  For example:  Frank called me the other day from Hobby Lobby, he was on the verge of falling off the wagon.  I was able to reason with him and needless to say he is back on the wagon.  We must support each other in our moments of weakness and keep them strong.  Now we can bend the rules if a really great deal comes along, too good to be true, talk to you sponsor he/she can help you with that.

I'm beginning to wonder.........!!!????

Was Darren's kit shipped aboard this boat? OMG! The implications!

Don't mind me.....temp is 102F.....having a tot.....er, medicine.....going back to bed 

I like your thinking Frank!   I too have a bit of a cold and a little boy that is turning 8 today so not much happening at my bench this weekend.

Darson, I once had a package that I ordered from Greatmodels that took 3 months to get to me.  I don't feel so bad now.

LOL, hope you feel better soon Darren!  Sounds like there is a nasty virus traveling around the ship.  Perhaps double rum rations will help bring it down!

Looks like the crew will be "flying high" with all this rum flowing from the M/O's office!!

I am suffering from a cold at the moment so when I've finished my shifts I will certainly be having a few tots of rum on my night off. I can't wait to get back to the bench both my Seafire and Hurricane builds are beginning to submit and stop fighting me!!

I'll be going back on shift in a wee while so I'll see you fella's later. Save a drink for me?

Good heavens, get this man some rum!

Frankie, Yep, you gave that PBY heads-up! Can't wait!

Right now I am definitely feverish.....need medicinal rum! This may allow me to get some building in this weekend. Right now, I'm fondling (in a nice way), a model I rec'd from a pal.

But I must concentrate on the SeaGlad! Have aspirin.....need the rum!

Gentlemen a drum roll please. Never let it be said that the combined postal services of Canada & Australia do not operate at a speed approaching warp factor nine. I have today received my Christmas exchange gift from Alain .  Ignore the ugly mug in the photo but as you can see I'm pretty chuffed. Thanks very much Alain I love the F-86 and don't have this kit in my collection, I will try and do it justice. Oh and just to let you know it was posted on November 17 last freaking year Cheers

Hiya Mates! Just got home and reading the ramblings. Found the spare key, eh? Oh well, fun while it lasted! Just keep sharp objects away from your eyes CAG! Yeah, Frankie....those PBY's are hard to come by! Keeping all three eyes open! I shall partake of a tot as soon as I drag the doggies back inside. Coming down with something and need some meds!

LOL, they sure are!  Luckily, they are supposed to be re-released in June!

Meds?  You don't need no stinkin' meds...

RUm will fix you right up mate, and lots of it!!!

Off work? Whats that? I've been on shifts since 05.00hrs last Tuesday and I won't get a day off until Wednesday! Oh boy am I gonna be tired! I'll add the hellcat to the FAW build list.

Thanks for adding that to my list Darren!  If I can get my hands on a PBY this year, maybe I'll get to do that one too.  Sorry to hear your work schedule is interfering with your hobbies.  Sounds like time to win the lottery so you can retire and build more!

Aye-aye, CAG!

Cheers everyone!

Right you scurvy dogs! I've found the key to the rum locker!

No bloody wonder Lt.Darson has a smile on his face!!!

You are lucky to have any rum left the way the crew have been knocking it back! Still, its Friday and we all deserve a break..............wherever you may be in the world, have a great weekend.

CHEERS!
