To be c fair, I have seen other far more postive reports about the show from independents as wellas a coupke of others with similar views to myown.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-61799468401286639462017-06-14T09:47:16.322-07:002017-06-14T09:47:16.322-07:00A very interesting blog posting, Joe, and one I ge...A very interesting blog posting, Joe, and one I genuinely appreciated; especially as you clearly had little enthusiasm for your excursion :-) I tend to limit my shows to just the big ones these days, which is probably contributing to the death knell of these smaller local ones? Regardless I was impressed by your fine loot and looking forward to seeing them painted up.

He only went after his hand swelled up, was red hot and the skin turned a reddish shade, and pus was leaking out of the puncture wounds where the scabs had come away. His hand really was a mess, and the GP expected him to need minor surgery to remove a foreign object - hence the trip to Durham hospital and not the local ones at either Darlington or Northallerton. He was told to rest his hand over the weekend, so I couldn't use him as my first port of call for a lift. Still him not being at the show saved Stu at Col. Bill's a lengthy natter of police force stories or the Civil Defence.

Fantastic to see them again it really has been years since they came to a southern show. I am sure they would have taken some of my money.<br /><br />Old Glory, again I only ever see them at Salute so that would also have been worth looking at. <br /><br />The 4 games seem interesting but alas not terribly exciting. BUT very well presented.<br /><br />Overall it seems a small show but a nice show.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-90850446244617468392017-06-12T06:42:32.731-07:002017-06-12T06:42:32.731-07:00Sorry for not letting you know on Friday that I wo...Sorry for not letting you know on Friday that I wouldn't be able to go, Joe -- My father's hand had become septic after a fall the weekend before (he refused to visit the doctors) where he'd impaled himself to a certain degree on some rusty nails. So it has been backward and forwards to Durham hospital's plastics department and today he's at their A&E for a final checkup. So lots of fun and games. <br /><br />The weather was the other big decider for me to not attempt finding alternative transport - especially since I knew I'd get soaked venturing to and from the various parts of the venue.
