bkg!
Wait, was [mention=81692]yllekp[/mention] there?  Looks like his watches.

Indeed he was, he is no doubt on his return flight right now.... unless he’s enjoying a ‘cavity’ search at airport security, caught smuggling a bunch of watches

Might want to change your forum name before you come..................introduce yourself to Pickledbeetroot with that name and he will think his wishes have finally came true. :)

Right then, 

another top quality turn out for the gtg, a great bunch of lads and lasses,  which I thoroughly enjoyed chatting/drinking with.

The usual suspects, ROLIE, Genius,MetalMickey, Davesjourney Mr+MrsBlack etc, along with a good bunch of the Glasgow gang, andyboy, Del, Baz, Chiquita Fanjita. Some of the new guys,  Time Bandit, Rokerite Hasel5, Dusk, bkg! and his mate, 

then there were the part-timers edwiniow, piccolo, Baxter who came just for a short spell, plus northantsRich who came later in the day. 

A special mention to yllekp who came across the water all the way from Ireland just to drink with us reprobates, a thoroughly nice chap he is too :D 

BIG THANKS to everyone who donated to the prize giving raffle, especially “wires” who couldn’t make it at the last minute but sent a beautiful rose gold yachtmaster :thumbsup: 

AND Hasel5 who donated a gen Tissot complete with a very special box and book to go with it :thumbsup: top lad. 

 

Apologies to anyone I didn’t get round to speaking to, or those guys who couldn’t make it....  there’s always the next time :D 

 

 

So all in all a really successful gtg, thanks to everyone who came to visit me in my little Yorkshire town in a wet and cold Saturday in February. 

:beer2: cheers!!!

It was a real pleasure to meet everyone there. What a lovely bunch of people. A place where I could talk about watches for hours without people falling asleep after 2 mins.

Many thanks to PB for his sterling efforts on organising this superb event. First one I've ever attended and it was amazing to see so much hardware on the table.  Fantastic pieces on show and a great opportunity to meet the people behind the PM,s and postings. 

Dont miss the next one, I won't !!

Right then - seeing as I'm the laziest bastard in the known Universe (and possibly beyond...) I'm now getting round to uploading some pics from the GTG in feckin' February!!!!

Any resemblance to actual persons either living or dead or very nearly dead is absolutely hilarious and completely intentional...

I know, that's why Dave photoshopped my hair out of all the photos of me.

It's weird, you all look so normal in the photos, yet I know that behind those innocent looks lies depravity of such magnitude that this world rarely sees.
