Thanks Tiny but we should be ok now.

Heres the gig flyer if anyone is interested.

Hi im trying to find space for an extra one or 2 people next week?
If you have room in your mini bus/coach/private jet and are looking to cut down on costs let me know.

tea-drinking, authentic cake

Sounds great, I want in.

Much better than all that shouting and jumping through hedges.

We used to have Booze and rolling partys.
6 or so in front of a DVD and a take away.
Was not uncommon to end up with 3/4000 tubes.
Ive still got a few hundred in the attic.

Ha

Very enterprising.

Well I wont be needing any of these then

Well who knows what is ever definate, but.... The reason it was moved was due to Friedland being on the same weekend, but what with Eylau being a disaster that probably wont happen. With most groups preferring to go to Belgium thats where itll happen that weekend. Placenoit wants it on that weekend ...

16/17th June.

Some confusion, but this should be final now.

Well you say not related but, his bedroom was decorated as if it was Napoleons campaign tent in Egypt. Also the hussar jacket he wore was used in the 1969 version of The Charge of the Light Brigade. But then you probably know that. as youve read his book! Have to say he was a big influence on me wan...

IF your £10,000 car sits out in the weather so your £200 tent can stay in the garage IF you drive by some open land and think, "What a great place for a Battle!"... IF most of the clothes you own went out of style over 200 or more years ago... IF you've made a vehicle purchase decision based on how ...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6050298.stm A busy couple of weeks. First the big bundle at Jena then 2 weeks later, the parade through the Brandenburg gate in Berlin. Thats another season done for me, and a few more airmiles to boot. http://uk.geocities.com/sgtlouis2002/Jena-Berlin/lhjena....

Whats going on at Redcar seafront?
Just seen a clip on Channel 4 racing, they panned over to WW2 bods on the beach, but I didnt notice till too late.

It can be a pain in the butt.

From a recent Borodino (Russia) event.

Poland is getting the bug for organising events and Eylau some where in a former Russian province is possibe.
I guess it could be classed as abroad, but the nearest one Ive heard mentioned so far is a gig at Fort William in the Highlands sometime in July(ish)

I should imagine the chance of getting fed and clothed appealed to many.
Of course what seemed to be the majority reason was to following a loved one, even if it meant the risk of death and mutilation.

Strange beasts women.

It was a time when diets were poor, so lets just say there was not too much visible 'padding'. If you look at old photos its hard to distinguish any feminine features on underfed women as youd see nowadays. No make up, hairdressers or lipgloss on show. Maybe they had deeper voices too but we'll neve...

Not much fun the 20th time round, but the beer tent is lively.

Spent a fascinating hour or so at this place in Diekirch which was smack in the worst of the Battle of the Bulge. So full of stuff they have pile in heaps. Some amazing full size dioramas as well, mostly taken from photos. Well worth a visit http://www.nat-military-museum.lu/pageshtml/curators-messa...

Oh Jeez when was Barry Lyndon on?

Yes Ive tried it with varying degrees of success.. There is a compound called Casenet, its like a black carbon salt. You need an extreme heat source not recommended on the stove by the way. I used gas bottle and torch and fired into small brick construction to keep heat in. Heat the frizzen to a che...

Have emailed you at old hotmail addy.
