Thought I'd better start a thread and see if anyone is up for it again this year, first weekend in July 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
-
It's one of the highlights of my - and my son's - year. He's already turned down other events for that weekend that I know are important to him because he wants to be there so much!
You can count us two in :)
I also have a slightly scary device to bring along and show off when it gets dark... (no more lasers, but high voltages!)
-
I'm thinking of showing my ugly face again, if that's ok!
Tesla coils Tony by any chance?
-
missed the last few, going to try really hard to make it to this one!
-
I'll be there.
Be good to see you again, Jim. Ooo look there's me being all sincere!
-
It’s on the calendar , looking forward to it
-
I wont be there this year. I'm in Cartmel sorting the last details for my wedding.
-
Putting your wedding before the BBB!!!! whatever next?
-
I'll be there.

You............. sincere, never.

-

I'm much nicer to look at than Jim that's for sure!
-
I'll be there with Ben and Mia (any time the BBB is mentioned she gets so excited, asking how long till I see Lynda grandad? ).
We've had the time off work booked just in case.
I'll be bringing the roaster for what seems to have become the traditional Saturday roast and whatever else we fancy.
Chug, is it ok to bring Sam again this year ?
-

Are we going to get our first centennial visitor ?
-

Only when you've got your paper on.
-

Yeh, I'm 105 y'know.
-

yes mate
-
Tesla coils Tony by any chance?
Yes - I've got a little solid state one that is quite impressive for its diminutive size.
I'm really hoping the parts for a HFSSTC plasma candle arrive in time too.
-
I will be there have been looking forward to it all year.
Its a strange thing about the BBB you meet so many friends
you only see once a year.
-

Absolutely not mates or Fairweather friends.

Hopefully I will be down.
The pickup is currently 'sick' - think injectors.
Caravan in Rutland on traveller site so might pick that up.
The new bus won't be ready, although it has an MoT it still has issues and it needs an interior......
-
i would love to come but as i am not doing the donuts anymore i am going to be in cornwall. not going be able to afford it as i dont have a bio setup anymore and spent 1500 quid on a new pump a few months ago. madam would not be happy if i break it, suppose she has a point as she paid for it. plasma candle tony, sounds interesting. next year maybe. will bring my flight sim if i have it finished by then. nice to see the old git is still with us. he's 105 you know. it,s my birthday on the 5th so you can all wish me happy birthday.
-
Sam will not be coming this year, I've a feeling his new girlfriend has put her thumb down.
So it's just me, Ben and Mia.

Tell Sam to dump the girlfriend.
If she bitches about a weekend away she will be more trouble in the future..... ;)

Why didn't anyone tell me that 35 years ago?

"Just". You're a winning bloomin' combo mate!
Lets hope Ben manages to keep his eyebrows this year.

Thanks Tony, but I'm sure Mia's cuteness plays a big part.
-
Sadly Mia will not be coming this year ☹️
You'll still have to put up with me and Ben.
I won't be bringing the caravan, so it's time to slum it in a tent
-
it's looking a bit tight for me making it :-(
was planning to bring my gf too, but also a bit afraid of introducing her to all of you :-o
-
I've contacted Carl, he's hopping to make it down.
-
Dom and I are very excited, he won't stop talking about it!
Sorry to hear that Mia's not coming.
Hope you can make it knighty!
-
Strangely I'm not as excited as I normally am, maybe it's because I haven't made/modified anything for this year.
Also I've got a really heavy week at work with a maintenance shutdown, so I'm dealing with 6 sets of contractors while juggling major strip down and rebuild of two large bits of kit and a growing list of smaller jobs, all with a hard deadline of Thursday morning when the plant needs to be running for fine tuning.
11 hours today, and tomorrow and Wednesday are likely to be 13+, at least I have the weekend to look forward to.
Yes it's a shame Mia wont be there, I do love seeing her reaction to everyone and everything thing.
-
... maybe it's because I haven't made/modified anything for this year.
Shame, I look forward to our annual "Ooo, I wouldn't have done it like that" and "why didn't you ..." conversation, then being proved completely wrong while eating dinner!
Despite the weight gain, I thought the year Bob brought his donut machine along was a particularly good one. So, your mission for next year, should you choose to accept it, is ...
-
Sorry to disappoint you with a tried and tested design Julian.
No I will not be cobbling together a donut machine, I've managed too much weight gain without having one of them to play with.
-
Sorry people can’t make it this year, got too much crap happening.
You will all have to supervise your health and safety yourselves as I won’t be there to endanger any one’s well being!

Whaaat! How can we ensure the correct level of peril without you?

I foresee very quick toilet visits!

I don't know, it may be worth loitering ;)

Pete has now got some wheels, but isn't sure he can fund the trip, anyone got some spare oil to help him with his return run ?
I have no oil but have offered up £20 and a gallon of petrol for mixing.
Sorry if I'm out of turn Pete, but as you know, this is what we do for each other.
-
I can bring some nice clean oil for Pete - and more than happy to match Womble's funding donation. Got to look out for our own.
Speaking of which does anyone know if Anne is attending this year?
-
Sounds like Pete is now sorted for his round trip, it will be good to see him!
-
I have some bio for pete
-
Hi all , looking forward to meeting you all again , I only popped in for the day last year , I’m coming on Saturday as have a retirement do on Friday night . Planning on staying Saturday night , I missed the roast dinner last year , what can I bring to put towards it ?

Dad doesn’t know I’ve logged in…
We have invited Anne and as far as we are aware she will be turning up!
We’re up here now for the weekend, pools up and heating 8)
No sofas this year I’m afraid, we do have have some garden chairs but if you’ve got any camping chairs might be an idea to bring them.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
Love Mahli xx
-
Mahli, you shouldn't tell us lot you're there already, you'll have 30 people joining you tonight ;D
I'll pack a couple of extra chairs.
See you tomorrow.
-
Petes on his way.
Lost all his phone numbers.
Fuel filter is off after 130 miles and on a rock catcher.
He's in Rutland, then Leicester and then on to Bash.
Just sent him the postcode.
-
I’ve been made to feel guilt that I’m not playing in the lads v dads football match , so won’t be coming until this afternoon, does anyone need anything from the shops ? See you all later
-
Sorry for not being there but family must come first, though they can be a pita but had to take my granddaughter to hospital today. Nothing too serious but but needed professional attention.
Very best wishes to all those there and those not able to be there.
Fingers crossed for next year.
-
Football wasn’t a good idea , went over on my ankle and now I can’t walk let alone drive ! Have a great time, and hopefully see you next year !
-
As always a big thank you to Lynda Chug and Mali for a great day yesterday.
The catering staff did and excellent job in rather damp conditions.
Already looking forward to next year.
-
Thank you Lynda Chug and Mali for a great week end.
It was good to see so many friends again.
Good trip back until 20 miles from home then a 20 minute queue on the
M1 due to an accident.
-
A great big thank you to Lynda, Chug and Mahli for yet another smashing weekend.
The same thanks are extended to everyone that came, each and every one of you play a part in making it an unmissable event.

I am gutted I missed it. Did Tony bring his Tesla coil?

Yes, he brought two types, very impressive they were too.
You were missed, well you were talked about anyway.
