At the moment. Sunny and mostly blue skies and 15degs....

True it was a bit miserable this afternoon.
But at the moment- blue skies in the west, clouds coming in from the east and 14 degrees.

I live a mile away from Newark showground.

Thats how I always remember it!

Metal Hippy - 18/6/04 at 09:27 PM

Who asked you Jethro?

robinbastd - 18/6/04 at 09:45 PM

Does that mean I'm Denzil?

Metal Hippy - 18/6/04 at 09:49 PM

It looks that way.

By the way what IS his surname?

It always sounds like:

Vemberthy (that's spelled phonetically, if that word is even spelled correctly)

JoelP - 18/6/04 at 09:53 PM

that would be fonetically, spelt phonetically...

Metal Hippy - 18/6/04 at 09:55 PM

That would be JoelP, spelt Dildo.

JoelP - 18/6/04 at 09:59 PM

now you know what they're all modelled on. my head.

Mark Allanson - 18/6/04 at 11:01 PM

I know Jethro (Jeff Rowe - real name), my next door neighbour was married to his brother, and his other brother is my chimney sweep! he used to do the pubs and clubs in west cornwall, when he is home he sometimes does a special for landlord mates - very VERY dirty!! he also does local jokes which no one east of Camborne would understand

PS. Its Denzil Penberthy

Peteff - 18/6/04 at 11:02 PM

robinbastd will confirm, it was an endless source of nicknames at school - 3pricks and wee were the basics, more imaginative ones emerged the older we got, like Dinger and Allycat

robinbastd - 18/6/04 at 11:23 PM

Mmmm.......Dinger.

JoelP - 19/6/04 at 07:42 AM

well tweathers looking good now! yippee!

Metal Hippy - 19/6/04 at 08:34 AM

Clear skies here in Lincoln, 20 mins from the Newark Showground...

Gentlemen, start your engines.

spunky - 19/6/04 at 08:38 AM

Indeed

Clear skies over Newark, some fluffy white clouds but no sign of rain.
Still only 14degs. so wear your hats...

John

spunky - 19/6/04 at 09:08 AM

According to local radio....

"Some showers expected on the east coast and spreading more widely"

Not too sure what that means but it's still sunny here...

John

spunky - 19/6/04 at 10:04 AM

Just had a very brief but quite heavy shower.
Now sun is out again.

My guess is thats what an be expected today.

John

JoelP - 19/6/04 at 03:35 PM

i swam home... not been that wet in quite some time! all good fun though. Cheers for the lift alan.

Northy - 19/6/04 at 03:55 PM

Whats expected for tomorrow?

I'm going anyway, but just wondered.

Viper - 19/6/04 at 09:17 PM

So is it worth going this year??

JoelP - 19/6/04 at 09:19 PM

in my opinion, yes, lots of stalls and stuff to see. nothing incredible, but lots good and interesting. there was a ladder chassis with inboard brakes (AK sportscars?) that was interesting. plus a BEC gear shifter on the radical stand. and a single seater from edgesportscars.

spunky - 20/6/04 at 12:31 AM

Just got in and I can tell you that the weather in Newark is....dark

bedtime.....

hopefully see some of you tomorrow.

John

spunky - 20/6/04 at 07:13 AM

Well Chaps,
I'ts a bit miserable out there.
Full grey cloud cover, and there is a light drizzle. certainly not enough to get you wet while driving but enough to wet your seat when parked.
And only 11degrees.

John

timcrasher - 20/6/04 at 07:24 AM

Hi, John,
I,m still gonna go and as there is no word from the others I assume they are too.See you in a bit.

spunky - 20/6/04 at 07:26 AM

Me too,
Just waiting for the missus to do her hair....

John

Viper - 20/6/04 at 07:51 AM

I will be on my way shortley, if you want to say hi, i will be wearing a white stetson (should be easy to spot)

Jasper - 21/6/04 at 09:27 AM

Well, dark, raining and f*cking cold all weekend - that's the last time I venture up-north with a tent ..... AND the weather forecast LIED - but hey, wots new.

Mk-Ninja - 21/6/04 at 09:31 AM

How was the drive back Jasper.

Jasper - 21/6/04 at 10:21 AM

Wet - dry - wet - dry

Got own to Sussex, and of course - the sun came out! Had a rather tail-happy time around the wet roundabouts on the A24........
