| Cedge |
Just imagine it... Jensen engines going to SITA 2008, after all these years.  Go on admit to it... someone is going to do it, if only to drive a particular anti Jensen individual completely off his nut... 
Steve 
|
||||
| Mister Occlusion |
Anyone who is anti-Jensen is already off his nut...
*g* ...well, someone was going to say it, I'm sure. |
||||
| Chris |
Can you please post details and where and when it is. | ||||
| tmuir |
That wouldn't be a certain person who refered to Jensens with the 'M' word would it?
|
||||
| Chris |
Just found the website. Does the event really only last for 4 hours? 
http://www.fcrammond.clara.net/stiainvitation.htm I had assumed it would be an all day event, possibly a two day event. |
||||
| Stilldrillin |
I`ll be there, as usual. Just looking.
Anyone given any thought to I/D badges? |
||||
| Titan |
There is no question that I will be there! The layout should have plenty more features by then too !! | ||||
| Mamodman123 |
Afraid so chris! Well worth it though
|
||||
| MooseMan |
I wouldn't miss it for the world! I've hatched a plan with John Chapman and local steamer friend Paul to do a joint exhibition....I'll certainly take a couple of boats, and between us we have a fine selection of Mersey engines. | ||||
| steamyjim |
Ill be coming. Shant be with the forum though i dont think 
Ill be with one of my grandads freinds from Bristol
|
||||
| SillyBilly |
I think I may pop across, bring my PoW, and maybe the Vertical Horizontal, and if someone has got a spare corner on their table just plonk them down.......any offers? You can pretend you own it for the day !
|
||||
| James |
O aye, if I do go, everything is going again. The Jensens aswell. And the Munter MIGHT be steamed, to prove a certain Guru wrong
|
||||
| MTA |
Oh, there's Amberley Museum, the South Downs Light Railway...
|
||||
| MTA |
If I do go, it will only to look around. As travelling by myself I wouldn't like to lug all my engines with me 
|
||||
| James |
Eee well now I worked out I'll be lambing 5th March on the earliest (  ) so it looks definate.
|
||||
| James |
Eeee, I might take the little stove we have, and a pan, some bread buns, and some PROPER Lincolnshire Sausage (best around!) and cook them up for the members if ya want? | ||||
| Mamodman123 |
Munters they aint lad! |
||||
| steamyjim |
MUNTER?
What, have i missed something? |
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Jensens!....apparently |
||||
| Steve_S |
I'll be there.... fourth year for me. I agree, it's too short and it should be all day, but as MM said its well worth the trip. | ||||
| Garratt100 |
It is certainly a short day!!
I'm hoping to go with a few of the Mamod collection & have a bit of a steam, but the show diary is getting pretty full for next year already with 11 exhibitions lined up for 'Ttarrag Shed' - hope to fit it in though! Chris. |
||||
| H2o vapour |
I'll be there, always have a table, been for the last 7-8 years or so - I'll be there with my D32 and some Mamods -
Best Show about - we should Honor Fred for his efforts H20 |
||||
| Mamodman123 |
I'll be there if i'm allowed in
If not Fred will have a Mk 2 Fiesta in his "big shed"
|
||||
| James |
Now now MM, you know how much I hate and try to avoid violance! | ||||
| Mamodman123 |
Oh  *removes Rambo headband*
|
||||
| James |
Yes, I love peace and I never ever fight or get aggressive! | ||||
| MTA |
Really? I'd never have guessed Only joking
|
||||
| James |
Oh yes! I'm very nice me
I only give people beef if they give me jip 1st! |
||||
| Minor1PJG |
Can I have beef with your Lincolnshire sausages James ?! !
I hope to be there for the first time ever!! Missed last year through a work trip. The date's in the diary now. Paul |
||||
| James |
Oh aye
BTW, I'll be the nutter there wearing a Lincolnshire flag and a flat cap
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
I'll be next to the guy with the flag and the cap
|
||||
| Roly Williams |
I hope to be there - and looking forward to the Lincolnshire sausages! 
Is there going to be a "forum" table, like last year? I'll have to have a think about what to bring - any preferences? |
||||
| James |
I'd say there will be Roly!!
I plan on ringing Fred to arrange something in the near future!! |
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Forum TABLES!
We needed a job lot to get the stuff on last year now with more people coming we'll all have to squeeze on
Will be a cracking show! 
|
||||
| Minor1PJG |
TableS for sure. Simon, Andy and I easily fill two, three or more tables when we display at Amberley!!
Now Chris is an avid steamer I think he will need a table just for him (especially when that Wilesco Roller comes!!) |
||||
| Mamodman123 |
We only have about 6 in total and that was last year when there were less of us
Will have to shuffle things about, maybe add more tables  but that's not my job.
|
||||
| MamodFan |
remmber you dont have to take everything, its not a competition to see how many engines the forum has, how about a theme to the Forum Stand, Mobiles or Just Mamods or Bomans or Stationeries. Just a thought. | ||||
| James |
I'm taking everything
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
I just took "whatever" last year
|
||||
| Minor1PJG |
Should I presume you took some really rather special engines then MM?? | ||||
| Mamodman123 |
A few, I have 'more' this year I took a flatbase MM1 so you would have liked to see that and all my loco's
|
||||
| mc_mc |
I'll probably come along in disguise, lurk around a bit, then sneak off again. (I'm way too shy to say hello in person)
|
||||
| James |
Naaa MC, comem slap e on the back, go AYUP MEYART, grab me hand, shek it, and I'll be like AYUP MEYART
|
||||
| tmuir |
I'm sure that English but I have no idea what he's saying.
|
||||
| James |
LMAO
No MC, come and slap me on the back, go "Hello mate", take hold of my hand, shake it, and I'll be like "Hello mate!" That better??
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
there's a line
|
||||
| tmuir |
I'm sure he is speaking English, but I have no idea what he is saying.
But that could be because it is 2:30am here and I'm just finishing me second strong Vodka.
|
||||
| Roly Williams |
They have their own language in Lincolnshire
|
||||
| James |
Aye Roly we do like!
Eeeee MM, crack me in the nut and I'll crack you one back
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Whilst out cold on the floor? Doubt it :rolf: |
||||
| James |
Hahahaha MM, you laugh now, you won't in Feb
|
||||
| johnreid |
Do you just sip those? By 2:30am you should be on the second bottle
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Come back when you're 20 I don't hit kids
|
||||
| James |
Naa, but I hit adults
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Aslong as you leave Sturrock out of it, I aint fighting that nutter
|
||||
| James |
LMFAO
If I told him you called him a nutter he would be like alreet alreet I hear ya no need to shout |
||||
| tmuir |
I had to go back to work from 10pm until 1am and we have this annoying law called 'Driving under the influence' and for some reason they are big on enforcing that law on Friday night.
Oh and lets say one of my drinks is a LOT more than one pub drink.
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
aye lad, aye!
|
||||
| James |
I reckon we should have an STIA rugby match!!
Jim can be the ball!! |
||||
| tmuir |
How about MM's Se4 be the ball and who ever can get it out down the road wins.
I bet MM would give a strong defence.
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
yeah a Ford fiesta
|
||||
| James |
Like the Haxey Hood?? | ||||
| Lewis |
ill be there
hopefully on one of the tables
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
|
||||
| Minor1PJG |
Are we allowed to talk about the rugby on here. Don't we have some Aussies on the forum??
I've only just hung up my boots but I'd gladdly dust them off for a Forum game!!
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
I don't understand the game at all i'm afraid
Football, get the ball and stick it in the net. Simple
|
||||
| James |
Rugby is a proper game, I'll tell thee that for nowt! | ||||
| Minor1PJG |
Good man James - I knew you'd understand!! | ||||
| James |
Yeah, doing it in Games at school next term (about 2 or 3 weeks). I love it!! Great excuse to nail people who give you jip all through the year
I were in the school team but I quit cos you had to play on Saturdays
I have the 2nd best kick on me in the whole of year 10 (about 150 people LOL) |
||||
| Minor1PJG |
I agree - the perfect excuse to rough up all those toads that only pretend to be 'hard' when in a group!!. Get them on the rugby pitch and flatten them - well that's what I did ..... whilst still coming top in chemistry and making all the girls laugh (it's funny how the ol' memory can play tricks!!).
Should be a good game tomorrow in Paris. |
||||
| mc_mc |
We didn't have rugby at our school and had to make do with hockey. But at least we had weapons. Used to play mixed games too.
|
||||
| James |
LMAO!!
You sound exactly the same as me!!! People give you jip cos they think they hard. You deck them in a classroom and they can dob you in. You deck them on a rugby pitch and "accidently" stud their head when they are on the floor, it's alreet!! I get decent grades in class, aiming for GcSE A* in maths and other subjects, and a massive D in RE
And girls? Urgh. If it weren't for them and violance, school would be boring!! |
||||
| James |
Our school goes:
Boys: Football Rugby Cricket Athletics We have like a 90 minute lesson every thursday Then on a friday we have a 35 minute period of fitness, sprinting etc. Girls: Hockey Netball All the other puffy games where you don't get mucky
|
||||
| Minor1PJG |
Sounds like we went to the same school!!
Are you the sort of chap that sits at the back of the classroom because it's cool and the teacher won't see you, or the sort that sits at the front knowing that the teacher won't be watching you because he's looking at the children at the back??
I'll let you guess which I was. Glad to hear you're working hard. Education gives you the chance to make decisions about your furure!! |
||||
| James |
Yeah!!!
I always sit at the front!!! And right, we were doing this practical in Biology last year, and I had me hand down me trousers. And she looked at me, took me to one side, and said "Right James, you're banned from doing practicles til the end of year 9. I DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO BE PLEASURING YOURSELF IN MY LESSON!" I were like LMFAO
She got in a right 2 and 8! |

10 reasons to date a farmer!!!!
1: They have strong fingers 2: They always no when to speed up and slow down on a job 3: They have tremendous stamina and are hard working 4: They always wear proper protection 5: They work very hard 6: They no how to use their tools 7: They love getting dirty and are great working with steep slopes 8: The faster and harder they work the better 9: They know how to work in sucluded areas 10.They are always practising so they are the best My point exactly! |
||||
| SillyBilly |
Hmmmm, rugby. I no longer have to do it, but my tactic last year was to run away from the ball, I'll stick to trains for my exercise....... | ||||
| James |
I get it, cob it under my left arm, stick my elbow out in front of me, and run as fast as I can at the oppostition, and then knock them over, if they tackle me, I boot them one, and peg it to the try line and score
My PE teacher is an ex England U21 player I think
|
||||
| SillyBilly |
My 2nd cousin is England's Referee Manager. | ||||
| James |
My old man is hard! | ||||
| SillyBilly |
WOW 
My dad drives trains
|
||||
| James |
I wouldn't go telling people that
|
||||
| Minor1PJG |
I knew you were made of the right stuff James!!
Elbow out in front - that's the way. Leaves the boot free to follow later if things turn ugly!! Ha, ha
|
||||
| James |
Aye!! Football is a good game... but the slightest touch and they beel like a babee! |
||||
| Mamodman123 |
Trying telling that to Michael Hughes
|
||||
| Steamgirl |
Hoping to be there. I'll bring my MM1 for sure, if you can find a space for it. And it's my target for getting the SE2a done, though not sure about that now... | ||||
