If so, there’s no way I’ll be mobile enough for The Bash dates. Will be sad to miss The Bash but happy to get the hip fixed. That’ll be both hips replaced - glad I’ve only got two legs
    I'm so sorry you can't make this one Paul, you'll be missed. Hopefully you will be fully fit as soon as possible.

    Not bought anything yet, plus I've given up buying airgun stuff for lent

    Got Krytox in the gas ram of the Sirocco, too late I found out that synthetic fork oil works well, I had that in the garage & the krytox costs a fortune

    Sad news you won’t be going to the spring Bash Paul :.
    I hope the operation goes as well as the first one, and you have a speedy recovery.👍

    Thank you, Craig.

    As always it'll be utterly brilliant to see you again. Looking forward to seeing which lovely guns you get prepared for this one (you always manage to pull something special out of the bag) and to witnessing more multi-positional Bucket slaying prowess!

    It'll be even more awesome if you can get Paul, Daz and Lyn along.

    Thanks Neil for continuing to organise these events, and my weekend fees have been paid into the usual account.
    Best regards, Clogger
    Yay! Brilliant stuff, Alastair. As always, it'll be utterly brilliant to see you again.

    Sorry to hear this, Pauly. You'll be missed.

    But it sounds like it needs doing and the sooner the better. Let's hope that things go as well as they did the first time around and that recovery goes really well so that you can join us once again for later Bashes.

    Your special little number's just around the corner.

    Take care Little Bruv.

    I spoke with Chris, Baldinio, yesterday. He's doing fine and will be coming along to join us at The Bash once again. He's not managed to sort access yet so can't post. But he's coming!

    And I saw Terry again yesterday, who will also be joining us along with The Ronster.

    Awesome!
