Last night I dreamt I was visiting Derann "never been there" [Frown]

and there was row after row of films, heaps of the stuff, [Smile]

then things got scary [Eek!]

I only had a small bag "panic" coulden,t get them all in. [Frown]

I told my wife about this dream, she said sounds like a nightmare, so if any kind collector out there would like to help me out of this dilemma, and send me an air ticket, [Wink]

so I can visit Derann's next open day it would be very much appreciated.

Hi Graham

Should you decide to pop in, then we will always 'get the kettle on' and give you a guided tour!

Did you know that I have been coming here for over 30 years?!

Kindest Regards

Gary

Good one Trev! [Big Grin]

I haven't heard the expression "old son" in a long time. Reminds me of me youth. [Smile]

Hello Gary, and all - Do you think there might be a film-con here in the USA somewhere? - There's the CINEFEST and CINEVENT, rather what I'm speaking of is a true convention of film, accessories, screenings and something akin to what is done at Blackpool, for instance

Graham

PS Doug
We did a long hall flight once I will never forget [Eek!]

my wife wasent feeling well, and was sitting in her seat on oxygen, my daughter was next to her spewing into a sick bag, [Eek!]

and my son like any typical kid woulden't sit still and kept playing with his seat belts, [Roll Eyes]

but what really took the cake, was the fact the aircraft haden't moved an inch [Confused]

it was still at the terminal at LA. what a trip that was, I now know why the Pope kisses the ground. [Smile]

Hi Trevor
Those long flights are very tiring two years after the one I mentioned we did one from Christchurch to Glasgow just Steven who was then 8yrs old and myself, by the time we had got to where we were going which included a further bus and boat trip, I added the hours close to 40 "never again" Steven was great, but it took us a few days to recover, back in the early 70s I did the trip by sea, Auckland to Southampton on the Australis although I think it took about 4 weeks to get there, it was a more civilised and enjoyable means of travel.

Graham.
