Likewise Zooly, it won't be the same without you and Debs there but family first as always. Hope things take a turn for the better soon m8.

P.S. I think Jedi might be looking for a room - could be worth a quick PM to him.

I would just like to echo the sentiments of the other guys Zooly. It won't be quite the same without you old chap. I too hope things improve for you as soon as possible. All the best mate.

[Sweper]

Salute Zooly. Sorry to hear about that mate. Hope you will be allright soon. Wish you all the best.

Really going to miss that North/South face to face banter.....

Look after yourselves, very best wishes to you, Debs and the family mate.

~S~ Zooly old bean,

I hope you will miss us as much as we will miss you M8   Bloody shame you and your good lady can't make it this year.
Best of luck getting things sorted.

I was thinking it might be a good idea, but I was going to wait until I know what the contents will be (if it's cucumber sandwiches (crusts off) and Bacardi I might not bother - on the other hand if it's pies and bottles of Spitfire...)

WTF !!!

I am in tears here .

What every one else has said. Please keep in touch on the forum and I hope that things improve for you very soon.

Bit of bad news from me now. 'Fraid I won't be attending Flying Legends this year (again!).  Earlier this week my wife agreed to do the flowers at short notice for a wedding on this weekend.  This involves wifey and her business partner working 'til around midnight on Friday night putting together the bouquets, button-holes and table decorations and delivering them and setting up at the venue on the Saturday morning.   It's worth a shit-load of cash to us.  The problem is my youngest son.  Actually my youngest son is not a problem at all, he's the apple of my eye! but I cannot find anyone to look after him on Friday evening/Saturday morning.  My eldest boys are still at Uni. or working on Saturday morning.

As some of you know, this time last year I went down to four teaching days a week and I lost all my responsibility points too (don't seemed to have lost the responsibility though, lol).  The financial effects of this mean my salary covers the mortgage, household bills, food, etc but being twenty percent down means we've lost the 'cream' for all the nice things in life like holidays, graphics cards, airshows and so on.  I can't really complain as my wife's business is growing quite nicely but is an awful lot of hard work too.  Her income would be paying for this little trip anyway.  So this bit of business is not something we can turn away unfortunately.

Jabo, check p.m's.

Dang. This pesky economic downturn is even affecting the DDz days out! Sorry to hear this Arthur. All things being equal, if the post-Duxford tour takes us over your way, perhaps you could meet us at Yeovilton?

Thanks Nick for heads up on Snafu.

Arthur, sorry to hear you can´t attend. When am I going to see you mate?

[Jediteo]

I think I will have to be a no-show, I really ought to save up some money for other things, like rent and food.

~S~ Arthur, Jedi,

Bloody shame you boyz can't make it. I don't suppose a compromise would be possible, you know like one evening and one day perhaps ?  We are watching the airshow Saturday and Sunday remember
You've probably already thought of that right ?
