I will be there sunday, I will be the one on my knees saying but i really need one of those dear! See who ever is there on Sunday at sport at the time!

Isnt the trick, not to take the other half along?? or the show needs to be more like the Newcastle wood show where they have a building with craft things for the ladies and a wood shed for the boys .. both are then happy to spend money without the other knowing what they are doing .. but depending on what you spend, it could be a long silent trip home...

My technique is 1) don't bring the wife and 2) go on my birthday.

How can I be challenged for buying myself a birthday pressie??? :confused:

Anyone else who wants to celebrate my birthday on Sunday, PM me for my wishlist

Cheers,
Andrew

Am leaving wife at home in Canberra and bussing up with the ACT Woodcraft guild on Saturday .... I've just forked out for some personal training sessions for my much better half (to make her better she says, but I reckon she's perfect already ... no really!) AND there is a craft show down here this weekend ... so there is a chance I can purchase some little bits and pieces without guilt ... not too much ... am saving for my bandsaw I hope to get around August.

First stop at the show will be Ubeaut so I can be identified by cap! Naturally, the T-shirt will be on, but perhaps with a jumper over it ... it's forecast to be bloody -1 tomorrow morning at home.

Strewth, we're not that ugly. Slavo, AlexS & I waited around today but you all took fright. Neil told us you were at the show, including all you lurkers. Where were you? Probably spending up big! I hope those who go tomorrow are braver, but I've blown my budget, so, see you next year.
Cheers,
Graeme

Me, DarrylF, silentC and Wongo will be there tomorrow.

I'll be there on Sunday 10am, meeting Boban for shirt, seeing Neil for cap then off to spend my birthday buying jointer, DC and just maybe a bp16A bandsaw.
Drool over everything else, see you there. I have lots and lots of brownie points bought her an embroidery sewing machine today.

Did my coin in 2 1/2 hrs, had a good look around, got inspired by the carvings and the school student's exhibits. Pity about the number of schoolies running around with no interest.

**BobR** · 3rd June 2005, 11:49 PM

I'll be there for the duration tomorrow.

Again I had a great time at the show on both Friday and Saturday. Meeting Doors.. no I mean Christopha was great.

I reckon he is a very nice guy, a bloky bloke if you know what I mean. Hang on!! we are not supposed to be nice to each other. Christopha you bastard.

Seriously I look forward to meeting you again next year mate.

Scott
Stop sucking up.
He is the bstard that stole the foil edges from the caps so that they look silly saying "foilies" without the evidence of the foil around the hairline. I had to buy a non foilie. Good on ya Chris.
Also he was speechless when Pauline suggested I was becoming a ubeaut groupie and I replied
"OK, but not with Chris, he is too ugly, even for me"
Poor Pauline had to jump to his defence, telling me "that's not very nice."
Where was that razor wit then Chris?
Blokey bloke indeed!

Actually Chris, your lack of a reply and Pauline's chastisement left me feeling embarrassed and wishing I hadn't said it.

In an attempt to apologise I wish to humbly beg your blokey forgiveness and I promise, with the whole net as my witness, that I will, in future be nice when I meet you in person and keep the witty repartee for these forums when you will have time to think up a nasty reply without causing either of us any embarrassment

I had a reasonably informative day deciding which machines are suitable and which I consider unsuitable. Mostly my findings were a confirmation of info gleaned hereabouts.
Met Oges, Boban, Jim Carroll and Multinut. Great blokes all.
