Whilst it is really nice of you to hold a barbie to celebrate my birthday, I won't be able to make it due to the distance and the high price of petrol in Kempsey. But thanks anyway. Make sure you have a drink for me.(or three)

Pete
I believe so!!!:D :D :D :D

[Gumby]

At the risk of putting others off - I'll be there. ;)

Unless of course a snag fest is the type of party where males compare certain body parts. :D :D

[scooter]

I'll be there, looking forward to it. :)

Al, what would be the best/quickest way to get there, coming from Pakenham it looks like Sth Eastern Fwy, Citylink, West Gate, West. Ring Rd, Hume Hwy could be the go, Plenty Rd looks more direct but slower? Bolte Bridge? (not in my old Melways :o )

Will be taking the Falcon wagon from here, Gumby, Iain, anyone else, - if you'd like a lift and you're not too far off the recommended track, send me a PM.


Cheers.................Sean, little boy :p

Your route sounds the go, the ring rd goes up past Crazzyburn now too..
So turn off ( right ) at Donnybrook Rd.

Al

[Auld Bassoon]

Hmm, Al can you post a Melways grid reference please?

[ozwinner]

PM me for the address if you want it.

Al :)

[Sturdee]

Al,

Finished the makeover of the last front garden bed today and I need a break :cool: so count me in.


Peter.

[Gumby]

Anybody around the Knox area is welcome to come with me if you want. I drive really slowly, have music available in the car, can provide a window seat, seat belt and bowling club hat. :D

I thought I'd go up via the Eastern so could pick up along the way.

[Grunt]

have music available in the car

Be wary. It's probably the Collingwood theme song on repeat.

[Groggy]

So if you are thinking of comeing let me know so we/they may get enough snags.Al, I'll be doing my best to make it. I may have to detour on my way to Sale:rolleyes: to make it though. I should know for sure in a day or so.

[scooter]

Quick note to anyone attending the fest(:eek: ) on Sun, if you have a Stanley #78 rebate plane, could you please bring it along.

I bought one at the market last week, in quite good nick but minus the side fence and depth stop - I'm interested in seeing what the original parts look and work like so I can possibly cobble something similar up.


Cheers.............Sean

[Wood Borer]

Al,

I'll be there, Meg sends her apologies. Scooter is picking me up.

What is the dress standard? Formal Foil? Casual Foil? It's just that I would hate to look odd wearing the wrong foil.:o

What should I bring in the way of food?

[Gumby]

You should know by now, It's at Al's so it's sans clothing :eek:

[Cliff Rogers]

what a pity its not the last weekend in february, cos at this stage jools and i are planning to be in melbourne then. ....http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon9.gif

They'll have woken up & got out of bed by then.... so they'll be ready for another one... mind you, summer will be over by then so take a couple of coats, brolly & ya dryazabone. :D

PS. & if you go by JetStar, don't take any B-B-Q wood. :D

[Iain]

Looks like a goer for me now, got some of my money.
What do we need to bring???
Cliff, Al lives at the tropical end of Melbourne, always hot up there :D

[Waldo]

G'day,

Bugger! Finally something on a Satdee and I can't make it, have a relie down until Sundee. And a client decided to give me the guff last night for a job that I should've had two weeks ago - and the deadline is Monday - they've got buckleys.

Appologies to all who'll miss my presence. :( (c'mon there's an opening for you) :D

[Gumby]

G'day,

Bugger! Finally something on a Satdee and I can't make it, have a relie down until Sundee. :D

But it's on Sundee, not Satdee. ;) And you could have had a ride in the Gumbomobile too. I'd just push the seat back a bit.:D

[Waldo]

G'day,

Bugger! Damnit my head ain't working, saw today is the 12th and couldn't work out that the 15th is a Sunday.

What's wrong with Satdees you lot? :confused: And I miss out on a ride in the Gumbomobile too, damnit!

[Grunt]

What is the dress standard? Formal Foil? Casual Foil? It's just that I would hate to look odd wearing the wrong foil.:o


I think Al is wearing his crotchless number.

[Wood Borer]

Folded edges is obviously the fashion then. Al's just so sharp on the Foil fashion scene.:cool:

[ozwinner]

Al,

I'll be there, Meg sends her apologies. Scooter is picking me up.

What should I bring in the way of food?

Dress code?? :eek:
What dress code, come as you will I have a good sense of humour.

As for food your company only is required.
Maybe bring something for show and tell..:p

Al :D

Ok chaps, who is on the welcoming committe for that weekend?
Bring everything you can think of for clothing. :D

Al :)

[Waldo]

G'day,

The last weekend in Feb?

I'll put my hand up tentively - so long as it's a Saturday.

Mr Gumby would never tell an un-truth (for which read: fasten your seatbelts very, very tightly, stuff in the ear-plugs, window-seat = open-air barf bag (:eek: ), and "bowling hat" = racer's crash(!) hat). :D :D :D Enjoy!

I have found one victim (err...sorry, passenger;) ) Me and Sturdee Pete tootling up the Eastern, taking up 2 lanes, doing 60 with the hats on the back shelf. Wave if you see us. :D

Looking forward to chewing the fat;) And maybe having a chat too. :D

Hi Sean,

Have you spoken with Mr Apricotripper (Jake) - he'll almost certainly be able to help - or Derek in Perth...

[ozwinner]

And maybe having a chat too. :D

I dont think Wongo is coming..

Al :D

[scooter]

Hi Sean,

Have you spoken with Mr Apricotripper (Jake) - he'll almost certainly be able to help - or Derek in Perth...

Nah, Steve, first mention. Really wanted to have a touchie-feel to suss it out, but no drama.

Scooter...there's a 78 fence on ebay as I write. No bids at $25.00

Greg

[Iain]

Better go out today and get some film for the digital camera, after all we do want some incriminating pics don't we???

[ozwinner]

Im debating which outfit to wear, the low cut foil number, or the split to the thigh model.
Footwear is sorted, it will be the stiletto calf lenght pattent leather boots.

Al :p

[Grunt]

I think you should wear that skimpy little foil number with the cellophane windows in all the right spots. You know the one you wore last time I was over.

[ozwinner]

In your dreams big boy.

Al :D

[Groggy]

Had a great time at the BBQ - thank you Al for all the prep and provisions. Very pleased to meet all the others and Tikki - the distance that woman will travel for a BBQ! Well done all and thank you for bringing the items of interest.

Cheers,

Groggy

[Termite]

OK Groggy, now that you've seen Al in the flesh, so to speak, is it true what people have been saying about him? ;)

[craigb]

Where's the piccies?

[Groggy]

OK Groggy, now that you've seen Al in the flesh, so to speak, is it true what people have been saying about him? ;)Every word, it's scary really!

[Gumby]

Yeah, great BBQ Al, thanks. He's a good cook by the way. Although a rogue snorker had had a premature e****lation problem and almost got him. :D

Nice to catch up again guys and good to meet Tikki. Oh how she must be driving back wondering why she bothered coming all that way to meet such a disappointing bunch :D :D

And the Dog whimped out ! Shame on you Grunt - must be part chicken. :D

I'm sure incriminating photos will be posted soon.

[Grunt]

Gumby, I was going to go but you were there.

[Gumby]

Gumby, I was going to go but you were there.

I see what you mean, with me there, you weren't missed at all. ;) :D

[ozwinner]

.

Speak for yourself, I am very pointing.

Great to meet up with the regulars again and to meet Tikki.
The pleasure was all mine having youse lot here. :o

Its good to catch up and just talk pooh pooh....:D

Al :)

I'll second Groggy in thanking Al for a great yarn and Barbie. Even saw the "Twig of Orgasmo" device at first hand :eek:

Good too see a few familiar and a few new faces.

Cheers!

[Sturdee]

Thanks Al it was a great BBQ. Good to catch up with everyone and to meet Tiki.

But where are the pics:confused:


Peter.

[Iain]

But where are the pics:confused:


Peter.
Coming, coming, just got home and need to process the digital film, the darkroom light is not working so I can see.
Tahnks for as great day Al, and that stick:D :D :D
Great to meet Tikki, thought you were shorter though:rolleyes:
Did Mr Woodborer behave in the car???? (the mystery and intrigue part)
Thanks Scooter for taking us all over, Rob for showing us the gear again on the way home (planes etc etc, you evil thinking lot), Sturdee was dissapointing though, no new jigs to show us, hiss boo, next time please:p
Also thanks to Rob for the Cascade light at his place, got the foul taste of that imitation beer out of my mouth, left 2 or 3 at Al's, enjoy mate:D :D :D
Was a good day and should be more of them, sorry, forgot, great to meet Groggy for the first time.
Tikki should almost be home by now, look for the glare of stoppers head and you will know you are near Penola;)

[Groggy]

...Although a rogue snorker had had a premature e****lation problem and almost got him. :D Now wait a minute, you don't suppose that premature esnagulator was one of Tikkis BBQ "specials" that she posted:eek::eek::eek:.

Nah, couldna been...could it?

[scooter]

Evenin' all

As you've already heard, an excellent day was had by all.

Iain & your truly travelled in to Camberwell, collected WB & Auld Bassoon and made our way up to Al's palacious (sp? salacious ? :eek: ) abode, duly identified as such by the pressed Alfoil post surround out front :p

There we encountered the Foilmaster himself, an interstate interloper (Tikki), Groggy, Gumby, & Sturdee.

A fair degree of gasbaggery then took place, examinations of tools and wood, donations of computer peripherals (thanks Greg and Gumby !), and moderate consumption of cool beveridges in the baking Victorian sunshine :cool: (it was after 12.00 NZ time according to chief timekeeper Gumby :D ). Gumby, in between beveridges ;) , gave us a dekko at the new Triton ROS, and due consideration was given (later) to giving it a torture test by working over Al's BBQ hotplate :eek: Fortunately, sanity prevailed on that last point.

Tikki was clearly awestruck at the quality of handsome woodworkers in our fair state, and vowed to return soon (next time she ducks over here to buy a litre of milk :D ).

Al fired up the barbie and duly incinerated bangers, chops, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, and mushrooms (yum!). All served up with noodle, potato, and tossed salads ! What a spread ! Tucker was grouse, and bellies filled.

More gasbagging ensued, then a squizz at Al's shed & tools, oh - not to forget the earlier displays of Al's erotic taste in walking sticks and blackwood slabs :eek: :p

Gra arrived shortly before we left; then we all bade the Foilmaster adieu and hit the road. WB navigated us down to the Western Ring Rd where we waved Tikki off, then continued to WB's house in C'well.

Rob shouted us a cuppa/coldie/chinwag, and an admiring eye was cast over his workshop and tools, partic. the LN ironware :).

Back in the Scootermobile and home james.

Thanks again Al for hosting a terrific day :)

Pic L-R Tikki, Gumby, Groggy, Iain, Sturdee, WB, Al, and Auld Bassoon.


Cheers..................Sean

Thanks for that, Greg :)


Cheers.............Sean

[redwood]

sounds like you all had a good time. must say apart from the good lookin bird the rest of you are older and uglier than i imagined:eek:

[ozwinner]

Good photo Sean.
It looks like Rob is talking crap to me, again!!.:p

Al :D

[Iain]

Only have 2 to add, Scooter who was behind the last one looking straight at us, and Master of the Crematorium, Mr Foil alias Ozwinner (his good side :D.

[craigb]

What, no seppo T shirts? :eek: :D

Looks like a good day!

[redwood]

I cant help but be amazed at the simalarity between Gumby and his more infamous counterart T.S.Gumby. Get Gumby to put his white hankie back on his head and they would pass for twins:eek:

[Gumby]

sorry gumby but the spelling is gumby, your brain must be hurting, you must be related:)

[Iain]

:rolleyes:

[doug the slug]

Well it looks like the snagfest was a great success. pity Jools and i couldnt get there but we would like to meet up with as many of you as we can when we are in melbourne on the last weekend in February. we will be flying in so will be reliant on public transport and goodwill to get about. looking forward to the triphttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon7.gif

[ozwinner]

we will be flying in so will be reliant on public transport and goodwill to get about.

I thought you were coming to Melbourne?? :p

Al :D

[Termite]

Isn't it marvelous what they can do with plasticene these days........he looks almost real. :D

[Grunt]

we will be flying in so will be reliant on public transport and goodwill to get about
You should pick a hobby that has a bulletin board full of good people instead of reprobates like this one.

[ozwinner]

Isn't it marvelous what they can do with plasticene these days........he looks almost real. :D

Yeah, but they buggered up his head when they made him....

Al :p :D

[womble]

Only have 2 to add, Scooter who was behind the last one looking straight at us, and Master of the Crematorium, Mr Foil alias Ozwinner (his good side :D.

I like the collection of old bottles along the wall above the barby. Got any old castor oil ones? I was in a second hand place yesterday looking through his collection and the old castor oil bottles were priced at $33...that's a lot of money for something that made you go number 2! :D

(how's that for a thread hijack?:cool: )

[Gumby]

I like the collection of old bottles along the wall above the barby.

That's not a collection of old bottles. That's the empties - we started early ! :D



(how's that for a thread hijack?:cool: )

You have a long way to go :)

[Iain]

I thought Al was tougher than he is, bloody wimp, changed his avatar after a bit of Tikki pressure:D :D :D :D
Gumby, I thought you might like the blockhead reference, the other one was just for fun until someone took it away:rolleyes:

[ozwinner]

Ya got to keep the audiance happy...

Al :rolleyes: :p

[Gumby]

Gumby, I thought you might like the blockhead reference, the other one was just for fun until someone took it away:rolleyes:

I'm getting used to being picked on :(
The problem is, I'm such a disappointment in real life and I can't do anything to change it. Women loathe me, dogs lift their legs on me, taxi drivers keep going past, kids laugh, bullies keep bending me out of shape, and now you guys are pickin' on me too :( :(
It's a cruel world out there. :(

Anyway, I'm checking up on the Gumby/Gumbie thing when I get home. I was sure that Monty Python's version was Gumbie. But all the internet sites say 'Gumby'. I've got the book with the full text of every show at home, it'll be in there.:p

[Grunt]

It's OK Gumby, Zed loves you.

In that strange way.

[ozwinner]

Thanks for the crap beer Iain......:eek:

No wonder you left it behind........:(

Al :D

[Iain]

It really was a pleasure Al, a real pleasure to leave it somewhere:rolleyes:
Maybe you could get a good price for it at the Craporium:p
I'll go you halves for whatever you cab get, of course you realise that the 'real' South Oz beer tastes just the same:o :o
It really makes some of my home brew failures look good............

[ozwinner]

It cleaned the drain out a treat.

I thought I reconised the, arhh, umm, flavour, thats it. http://www.ubeaut.biz/aroused.gif

Al :)

[Iain]

I'm getting used to being picked on :(
I wasn't picking on you, you paranoid bastard, I was trying to support you with the grave digging cartoon, the other one I just happened to find and thought was funny, Pokey was appropriate:D :D :D
Lets do the Pokie Pokey:rolleyes:

[ozwinner]

Ya had to be quick to see it..

Al :D

[Gumby]

I wasn't picking on you, you paranoid bastard,

See, there you go again :(

[RufflyRustic]

It's a cruel world out there. :(


Dear, Dear Gumby, not always. Now that I've seen your photo, I loves ya even more...:D

cheers
RufflyRustic

[Grunt]

You are kiding me, right? You couldn't love someone who looks like this. http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/image.php?u=1889&dateline=1130416598

And he is a Collingwood supported to boot.

Pssst Grunt, she comes from Toowoomba.
That is handsome for the women there.

Al :eek:

[Gra]

It's OK Gumby, Zed loves you.

In that strange way.

That last sentence is redundant me thinks......

Thanks for the barbie Oz.. I turned up late after having to do some family stuff and 10 min's latter everyone leaves.. I guess I better wear more deodorant next time:D

maybe I should have worn clothes

[ozwinner]

We werent due to break up for another 4 hours, but Gumby said, " put you tackle back, here comes Gra", and eveyone just left. :confused:

Weird...... or what?

Al :confused:

[Iain]

And we are all suspicious of a hairy bloke who drives a pommy car:rolleyes:

[Gumby]

Anyway, I'm checking up on the Gumby/Gumbie thing when I get home. I was sure that Monty Python's version was Gumbie. But all the internet sites say 'Gumby'. I've got the book with the full text of every show at home, it'll be in there.:p

I looked up my book.

Just isn't my day really, is it?

My brain hurts.:(

[Wood Borer]

Al,

Great to attend one of your turns again. It was good to catch up with everyone again and to meet Gra for the first time. It is a pity you were otherwise tied up and couldn't spend more time with us Gra.

Big thanks to Scooter for driving us. You know where I live now so drop in for some darkside talk.

Thanks for explaining the long black thing on the end of that Orange thing Gumby - appreciated.;)

Al, this photo shows you bravely battling the offensive snag but do I see an apparition of the Virgin Mary in the smoke from the BBQ?:eek:

Perhaps it is a genie from one the bottles trying to communicate with the darksiders present. I think you should get the image analysed by someone reputable to give us an unbiased professional opinion.

Again thanks and what a great effort from Tikki driving all that way.

[Wongo]

Quik WB put that foto on ebay:D

[Sturdee]

Tikki was clearly awestruck at the quality of handsome woodworkers in our fair state, and vowed to return soon (next time she ducks over here to buy a litre of milk :D )...................

...................WB navigated us down to the Western Ring Rd where we waved Tikki off,


Either she is really awestruck, which we can understand :D , or you sent her in the wrong direction for we haven't heard of her yet.


Peter.

[Daddles]

Let's all HUG Gumby

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW:D
