Yep - I have to confess it's unlikely I'll make it. I would love to go but due to my peculiar circumstances at home, It'll be tricky for me to get there.

Well, the Antarctic isn't an easy commute, so they'll understand.

Yeah a mate of mine in Customs has said ' They all look the same to me' ,a couple of times.

That's not even taking into account the fact that the seats in those booths don't go high enough !!

I can't make it Sad


I was really looking forward to going to the show as I have never been before,but a severe lack of funds the last few months has thrown that idea out of the window. Usuall story really, wages stay the same while the price of everything else has gone through the roof = little to no cash left over to spend on myself. 


Maybe next year...... 


EDIT: Maybe the team can hook up a webcam on their stall so we can pretend to be there Big Smile

I'm not going due to my peculiarity.

Good idea the web cam. Or maybe a video web blog from the stand. Certainly there should be a ''meet the team' photo section as a thread on here

With a special prize of a full Rega system to anyone who can get Mr E to smile in a photo.

Oh I can - ask the photographer who spent half an hour trying to cajole me into smiling, and all but gave up...
