hi all

Tommy and i would love to thank every one who came the the show. Whether you were selling or displaying your pride and joy of models, or made the long trip down or up to the show. It was great to be able to finely put faces to the names we all talk to through here every day. I hope every one enjoyed the show over the two days. On a personal level i like to say sorry to everyone that i was not able to be there on the saturday or most of sunday to meet and greet you and help with the setting up as i had planned. Most of you know i had a family emergency on saturday so i had to go, all is ok / well now and i thank you one and all for all the best wishes. I did not get a chance to take any photos so i am really hoping some one can put some of theres up here today [img alt=]http://www.moiramodelclub.co.uk/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif. I hope every got home safely. So now i may sit down and have a think about the next one [img alt=]http://www.moiramodelclub.co.uk/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif.. If any one has any ideas to help make the show better please let me know.. [img alt=]http://www.moiramodelclub.co.uk/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif  I know there were some theating problems but you learn from your experiences, and these will be sorted out for the next show.

how easy is it to get from dublin airport to the venue?? or infact from the ferry port south is it?? did a quick distance check and via fishguard its a 400 odd mile trip at 8 hours for me via car

just done a few cheacks on aa route finder

dublin airport just over an hour ( i drove this my self the other day motor way all the way)

waterford airport ;; 1 and a half hours its about 100 km

rosslare port;; 1 hrs 20 min 85 km

dublin port;; 1 hrs 25 min 87 km (this would be motorway nearly all the way)

Dun Laoghaire Port, Dublin;; 1 and a half hrs 94 km (this would be motorway nearly all the way)

work away paul 

well i went down to meet the contractor this after noon, .

he said he wanted to talk

here is a picture of what happened

well as you can see when i had him on the ground he was not getting up..

one of his labourers call the guards and i spent the evening the the cell. :police: :police:

will be up in court next week   ( most learn to keep my head ), how do i plead this one? ..

do i say he was trying to ride me with out the saddle :P

may go explain to linda where i was for the evening and why i was not answering my phone  ( I'm in more trouble )

i got the drains finished and i put a few man hole covers in

here is a few pictures

hi Jason

love the storyline mate it keeps us all intrested what have you used for the storm drain pipes? and also what ratio did you use for your concrete as i want to do the same for my layout eventually but I'm going to make sure i employ a contractor that knows about drainage :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

hi nick glad your enjoying it

the storm pipes are just drinking straw's.

the concrete is just tile grout a bit of pva glue and some water ratio i dont know i just made it up as i went along

must start a new topic for a name and shame of bad contractors :P ;D

My 3yr old son has been to the hospital 3times this this week with a chest infection only to be let out every time after a couple if hour then admitted today with pneumonia.

i am thinking of you and your little one

doctors and hospitals make me so mad some times >

do you know a parent knows his/her child better than any doctor even with all there years of school

but yet they think they know everything :

sorry for going on

again best wishes to the little lad
