Anyone else joining our gang of pillocks?

by **Amanda_h** » Sat May 21, 2011 12:14 am

Well I might as well be a pillock, I've been called most other things!

The noise is all part of it, at the guitar club I go to on Tuesday nights
it was 110dB last Tuesday!!

Now 558 is confirmed, it will be mayhem.

Yes, you make a good point there!

One that swung it for me personally. Being the day of my birth too - having LMW in tow, don't fancy a bit the ensuing bun-fight.

Don't begrudge the swelling coffers this will hopefully bring to everyone else at Brunty :ymapplause:

I wont be heading up there next weekend unfortunately, partly because I think it will end up being packed and loose a bit of its charm. But also I'd forgotten it was the bank holiday and I'm over on the IOW for the weekend. Major 40th anniversary gala at the IOW steam railway.

by **Hihonyr8811** » Sat May 21, 2011 10:21 am

I really hope it isn't too packed

, mainly because every year we always rock up about two acts in =))

But I am a bit worried that we'll get there and we'll be the other end of the car park then my mum will be in a right strop for the rest of the day which puts me in a bad mood

I'm adding sausage rolls to my hamper too btw

as well as cup cakes

Another one who desperately requires a P.A!

Andy does not post on any forums these days, but will mention IA when I meet him.

by **Dan4th** » Sat May 21, 2011 11:12 pm

Thank you, he was a very special part of
this forum for a very long while......

Not having him here any longer is like
missing a faithful friend you could
always count on.

I couldn't agree more D4th. His input and shared information was second to none.

by **Kermit** » Sun May 22, 2011 9:32 am

Only a week to CWJ day, cant wait! (yep, another pillock joining you !) :))

by **Xplumberlives** » Sun May 22, 2011 10:33 am

Our happy band of Pillocks is growing nicely! :ymapplause:

Can we have a better discription please.

I don't like the definition of the word being used to describe the happy band. :((

Urban Dictionary: pillock
Noun for Idiot, fool. Originally a slang term for the penis but fairly inoffensive now its this meaning has been forgotten. Derog. ref British Slan...
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pillock :ymblushing:

Etymology

The origin of pillock is believed to go back to the 16th century meaning penis[1] from the Norwegian word pillicock, presumably akin to the slang dickhead meaning inept fool[2] :-o

Surely enthusiasts would be better.

I've been called worse, PA.

by **Olicat** » Mon May 23, 2011 5:39 pm

It came from when RLN called Xpl a pillock, then it eventually went into Xpl saying

thats four of us then.

After a few more posts I said something along the lines of

Who else is going to join our gang of pillocks

- referring to a 'creation' of a gang of pillocks and not all of those going on the 29th

So basically you can go to brunty and not be therefore called a pillock.

I hope you understood that - as i don't think i worded it very well (like most things I say :))

)

by **Kermit** » Mon May 23, 2011 6:08 pm

still going, pillock or not :))

by **Xplumberlives** » Tue May 24, 2011 8:59 am

Pillock = TERM OF AFFECTION FOR FORUMEER!

by **Mayfly** » Tue May 24, 2011 4:31 pm

Latest from the Tuesday news byte regarding CWJ day.

Following various requests for details, we would like to clarify what will be happening during XH558's presence at the Cold War Jets Day at Bruntingthorpe on Sunday 29th May.

We now understand that the crowd will be repositioned away from the runway on Sunday afternoon so as to meet our safety requirements, so subject to this and other safety conditions being fulfilled, we will be able to take off on the Sunday with the crowd present.

by **Hihonyr8811** » Tue May 24, 2011 6:10 pm

I'm in two minds about this, great that we get to see her take off, but how far back will the crowd line be?
(Not complaining, just curious

)

Although it could be a good thing for me, I might get a whole lightning in my view finder with out having to zoom out and reveal my crack for once =))

by **Mayfly** » Tue May 24, 2011 6:30 pm

Helen form what I've read it appears that the crowd will be moved back before 558 takes off, and I think CAP 403 states they must be 75 metres from the runway.

by **Hihonyr8811** » Tue May 24, 2011 6:40 pm

Disregard all that then, I just read it wrong =))
