RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted October 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm fed up with all this violence stuff. Perhaps just exhibiting Great Western layouts is the answer. Everybody is counting each others rivets, there's not time for fisticuffs. Ian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted October 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2017 Its the disability scooter jousting matches you have to watch out for at some shows, especially when they reverse at speed by mistake...

Porcy Mane Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) I was once roughed up by the P4 boot boys, them lads could throw an accurate punch... Too right. Just the other week I was at a P4 exhibition and happened to compliment a demonstrator on the standard of his marking out. Next thing I know I'm waking up in a hospital bed after having had a centre punch surgically removed from my ar$ehole. I have to return to hospital in a fortnight so they can have another go at reteiving a fishplate. Apparently the P4 ultras have a secret training camp somewhere in the Cotswolds where they train Russian Modellers.

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted October 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2017 Never mind the violence of the average exhibition goer ! It's the 'over the top' violence from the private security guards brought into 'police' exhibitions that really worries me. You mark my words, it can only be a matter of time before they come prepared with riot shields and fire baton rounds to quell the crowds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Don't forget your tickets for the Big Fight at the NEC next month, just look for the Bachmann StandI thought that was what this Thread was about, at first!! I can't go to Warley this year; I've just had a bath this morning so would still be far too clean by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gismorail Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The main attraction at the NEC this year will be on the Peco stand where there is a challenge to the best and most realistic track .......which could start a very serious blood bath among the gauge ultras......

Willie Whizz Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 It's the violence around the Demonstration Stands I fear the most - all that kit-bashing that goes on. (Mind you, at my local show next year I believe we have Gwynneth Paltrow demonstrating 'conscious uncoupling', which should be worth a look ...).

Porcy Mane Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) (Mind you, at my local show next year I believe we have Gwynneth Paltrow demonstrating 'conscious uncoupling', which should be worth a look ...). I'd be careful there. She's on a very short fuse that one. Last time I saw her doing the conscious uncoupling demo, some poor unsuspecting individual happened to remark that he thought Jackson's appeared to be more reliable. She went absolutely ape. Nobody knew she had a handbag (Louis Vuitton) full of pepper pots and boy; could she throw them. Better aim than Eric Bristow after eleven pints. One pot took out the tea urn and another left the Thomas layout looking more like a Taliban HQ after a multiple drone strike. If that wasn't enough she then set about a poor bloke selling Sprat & Winkles with a pepper spray. Once we got her calmed down (and everybody had stopped sneezing) she would only agree to come back and demo next year if she can bring along Robert Downey Jr. Let me tell you, when them two start a ruck next year, I'm on their side! P Oh and she also insists that no other coupling be sold at the show, but hers. Bl**dy typical! Edited October 14, 2017 by Porcy Mane 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Rumour is that there's a 70s 'themed southern layout coming on the circuit soon, called The Den. No one's going to like it, but will the troop running it care? I think not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium polybear Posted October 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 14, 2017 I did actually see a punch up at an exhibition once, about 15 years ago. A guy in his 40's (?) set about a younger guy in his 20's (?) for no apparent reason. Location? Worthing, of all places...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
