      Knocked into a Top Hat ? Magic ! 

  3. apologies for my many typos at the moment.. the damp weather has affected my finger joints plus pudgy fingers plus phone/tablet keyboards are a recipe for misspelling

      I blame the touchscreens. Spawn of the devil. I won't give them house room.

      Sorry to hear that Baz but hopefully you'll benefit from the upcoming hot weather we are promised (or maybe you won't get it?).  And I agree re touch screens - awful things and probably only invented to save money rather than deliver benefits to their users - and the biggest reason why I wouldn't buy an iPad.

    3. St Enodoc

      St Enodoc

      Touchscreens are the main reason I don't have a smartphone.

  4. White Rabbits! Fingers crossed for a return to normality.. but no pinching or punching allowed while in Lockdown

    2. Barry O

      Barry O

      do want you want but don't try P&P on me or anyone I know.... it could well cause a BIG problem...

  8. 23 days of cricket umpiring less one day for rain...my feet ache!!

    1. RJS1977

      RJS1977

      I've got a book by Don Oslear somewhere where he says he once received his list of fixtures for the next county season while he was visiting New Zealand. He showed the list to NZ's top test umpire who said "That's more cricket than I've umpired in my whole career!"

      Dickie Bird never complained and he's a lot older than you.

      Isn't that how the computer software industry has prospered, though?

    3. Barry O

      Barry O

    3. DougN

      DougN

      Just need to finish both of them!

  11. England cricket...do they have coaches? Fundamental errors...

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      As far as I can see English Cricketers treat overseas tours as paid-for holidays with a little light cricketing thrown in.

    2. ian

      ian

      Coaches? Only to take them from hotel to ground and back again.

      The Stationmaster

      Cor, are we likely to see a certain demonstrator painting something really big in yellow? Like a Deltic!!

    3. Barry O

      Barry O

  16. Its JAnuary so time for me to start sending out demonstrator invites for Warley in.... November....

    1. Huw Griffiths

      Huw Griffiths

      Some of us have never done any of that stuff ourselves - and probably never will - so I don't know what's involved.

       

      However, the "lead times" sound scary. Some people find it hard to plan their movements 2 months ahead - never mind 10 months.

       

      I wouldn't expect to see names etc. at this stage - but, if we're looking at a lot of the usual suspects, there should be a good mix of skills.

       

      I'm looking forward to this year's show.

    2. Barry O

      Barry O

      Huw, planning started last year before the last show. More things to have a go at this year...

    3. Huw Griffiths

      Huw Griffiths

      I can believe what you're saying - certainly when I've been to this show, it's always come across as well planned etc..

       

      I'm just glad that I'm never likely to find out what's involved in putting a show like this together.

       

      Regards,

       

      Huw.
