Thread: Awtex - but first a question

It was a good exhibition with plenty of excellent work, that makes it difficult for the judges. I was there every day answering questions to the point I was given a burgendy waistcoat to wear. That allowed me to pick up pieces so that anyone interested enough could have a good close look. It appears that there were a few forumites there to. Must say I am a bit dissapointed that nobody pulled me up. I restrict my visits to Melbourne to once a year, too many cars, people and it is too bludy cold..

Jim,

I was there and watched most of your demo (I was the one that put my hand up when you asked if anyone had tried it) and was looking forward to have a chat with you afterwards.

But during the demo my daughter rang to say that she was got there, after her shopping, to take me home. So I had to leave in a hurry else I might have had to walk home.

Peter.

Hi jim , what did you mean "must say I am a bit disappointed that nobody pulled me up " .?....did you get to keep the waistcoat ?

I was going to click on the Thanks for the pictures button but it must become disabled once a certain number is reached. So thanks for the photos Gab, but it does make one feel quite inadequate.
So much talent that doesn't get seen very often as there are not enough outlets for it to be shown.

The red headed chick said please explain

Still there on my computer.

Stupid me, realise now that I have clicked the thanks on my previous visit and that's when the button disappears. Because I hadn't seen my name there I hadn't checked that it was in the hidden 9 others.

Gabriel,

Thanks for the photos, no need to apologize for using a phone.

When it comes to design and quality of turnings, you Aussies don't take second to anyone.

Powderpost, would you translate "Must say I am a bit dissapointed that nobody pulled me up.", for this Yankee.

Hi Paul... translation... "Stopped me and had a yarn", or, "Come over and say G'Day".... that better?

Hi Smiife, I don't often to meet forumites face to face. If I had thought a bit before I went down, I could have has "Powderpost" on the name tag as well. No I didn't get to keep the waiste coat. )

Thanks, the quote "‘England and America are two countries separated by the same language" might also apply to AU and USA.
