    Default Meeting Neil (U-beaut)

    I recently came into contact with our
    U-beaut Administrator and introduced myself.

    I said, "Hi, I am Allan, who are you?"

    He replied, "Neil".

    So, even though I had a crook leg, I went
    down on one knee and repeated, "Who are you?"

    Allan

    Default Neil

    Wheelin, are you saying Neil is vertically challenged/height disadvantaged or whatever is PC at the moment?

    I have never had the pleasure of meeting our leader but when I spoke to him on the phone, he spoke directly into my ear.

    I may have bent the truth just a little (just for the joke)
    but in fact I met Neil when he gave a talk on Ubeaut
    products at our Northern Woodturners Club in Thornbury.

    He was most helpful in offering advice on how to improve
    the finish on my pens.

    WELL PUT Lignum I know if I stood up I'd have clear view over the top

    He's not greedy either sent me to Trend to purchase what I wanted then (my Jet Mini Lathe) as he did over the phone recently to buy my U-beaut products.

    If "U" stood on a fruit box it would have had to have been reinforced cos he is around 6'8" tall and weighs about 23 stone..... and never look him in the eye as his mere glance can wither a complete 100 acre paddock of sunflowers.... and thats when he's wearing his Raybans!

    Oh I thought that was just his breath
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    All U-beaut agents have been advised to charge
    you double when you next buy any of Neil's products.
