Hi all, once again an excellent weekend wicked food and top company. Good luck with the run Dave and roll on for the next meet :) :) :) oh who ended up with the (Lewisham beater)that's what I've nicknamed it lol

 

I think the item in question may have remained in the Cotswolds, or so I've heard :innocent:

 

Cheers Mark, thanks to you and all the others for the generous sponsorship, I'll report back when I've done it :good:

I thought I would let you all know that after a complicated labour I'm the proud father of a nine pounder but I won't be having anymore, one is enough!!!

 

Great weekend in the beautiful Glos. My cheeks are aching through laughing so much.

 

When I got home my folks (who had come down to dog sit) descended on the winnings like a plague of locusts (though obviously in reduced numbers and with a rather leathery appearance). The tomatoes lasted all of 15 minutes and the old fella made such a fuss over the fungi the only way to keep him quiet was let him take some. Normally I would just punch him in the face but he's recently had a hip replacement so I thought best to leave off a while. Mum was most dissappointed when she realised the baton had been passed but she says she hopes the next custodian gets as much enjoyment out of it as she did.

 

There really were some world beating records set this year I think. Nick lost his three counties snoring crown to Dave who turned in an impressive performance and actually caused my ears to bleed. The impromptu nocturnal bog detonation was also truly impressive and on par with the opening barrage of the Somme. Awe inspiring!

The title for most gaseous was a close run thing. A very convincing performance was laid on by team Sunderland with some incredibly unsettling, high humidity emissions from Mark but he was eventually pipped at the post by the sheer volume and foulness of Dave who managed to produce virtually on demand. The world knife sharpening champion defended his title with an epic display which saw him sharpen two knives in 36 hours of non-stop, blink and you'll miss it, oil stone action. (Joking aside Malc, it was most informative). A new category of Pigeon Watch cigar chain smoker of the year was taken by our rising grammar nazi who managed to bang out 48 smokes on the bounce, the last one being extinguished at 0430. Not even two bottles of spirits could stand between him and the prize (which was a cigar).

 

The food obviously was great and the effort put in by all but myself was admirable. Wonderful company. I'm sure had I abstained from the myriad of boozes I would have some wonderful memories of the event. Sirs, I salute you.

It sounds and looks like I missed a real epic week end.

The food is always good the banter even better, but the people attending are what make the event so very good.

Can we get a firm date early for the next event 2014, I really cannot miss another.

 

If you are having an impromptu get together please let me know I will try my best to get down to visit, Lesley and I "WILL" be paying a mid week visit to the area, so perhaps we can meet for a pint and a meal somewhere, I will keep you informed.

As always gents a brilliant weekend. I think Dave has to get top food prize for his soup, pie and bread creations they really were stunning.

Rob you are one of the funniest guys I have ever met and Dave you are one of the best looking.

Duncan thanks for bringing the beer can we get more for next year?

Rob have you tried this http://olderwomanyoungerman.co.uk/

I have very little if anything to do with the organisation of the event. The thanks for this must go to Mike and Duncan i do just the same as everybody else and turn up with a few bits to eat.

I feel maybe we should scale the food down slightly next year and perhaps limit it to only eight meals per day.

Did I mention that I also beat Dave in the shooting competition :yes:.

I had the rabbit balti for my lunch today and that was great but i think it may have revived my flatulence.

As for the pigeonwatch double ended baton it has been passed. Some of the later ones to leave may want to do a close inspection of their vehicles.

crowman I admire your stella for breakfast prowess I wish I could do it.

 

Thanks to all who make this one of the best weekends of the year.

Hells teeth! Duncan sent me a link to local, ahem, slags and I didnt have the cojones to look any further than the home page, somehow I think this one falls into the same category. Chuffing hell!!

 

The Baton plot thickens...........................when I left it was only yourself, Dunc, Mike and Dave present. Hmmmmmmmm if you were daft enough to slip it in Duncans motor it's possible it may never be seen again and you will be responsible for the loss of a key 'member' of the Cotswolds gang.

Jeez, the baton better not be in my car! I'm away from home and Mrs Blunderbuss is driving it to and from her job - IN A NURSERY SCHOOL! She'll be sacked and I'll be knifed if it falls out in the car park or gets spotted on the parcel shelf! I don't think I left it unlocked?!

I checked my truck within an inch of it's life before I left and when I got home. If it's stashed in there somewhere I'll put money on it that it'll drop out on a customer's drive or something! Oh god... I'm going to have to take the bloody thing apart in the morning! :crazy:
