As I said in an earlier post .......... "P'raps, best come on the day and bring your machine or part of it so you can check!"
I have cable tied together hundreds of bundles of slides, and couldn't tell you what coins they were for.

As we speak, Mick and I are planning the final 2 trips to get the last of it out of Sheerness and up to Derby.
We originally said July to get that done, so it's looking good. Then, if I haven't found my camera, I'll have to get down to WH Smith for a sketch pad and a pencil so I can draw the spares. I don't have Microsoft Office on my ZX Spectrum so I'll be writing the lists out in crayon.
First though I'll need to brush up on my ejucashun as I don't reed and right so good.
As soon as I have more to share I promise I'll let you know unless it's beer.

This is the site you want to click onto.
I'm giving you nearly 2 months notice and enough night time reading to bore you into a stupor.

Once there save it to your favourites so you can find it again.

I think I am going O.C.D. I couldn't find the dead fly!
I don't think I will sleep tonight.
Nicely done, BP.

Just to confirm to everyone that our friend dutchboy isn't the same person that wants to drive over and buy up what's left after the event.

That’s right, i wish i have the space..... i only need some parts for my two chiefs, but to miss an event like this is a sad. I saw there is a direct flight to nottingham.

It's just up the road from me, so I'll try & get there after my nightshift. Incidentally, I bought one of my first bandits off Mick Jnr, 20 years ago.

I also bought my first bandit from Mick five years ago. Collected it from his home. The smoothest running machine of all that I have.

I’m sure I must have met this bandit legend but for the life of me, I can’t place him. Are there any photos of this gentleman that could be published?

Thanks PM. I vaguely remember chatting with him but it’s the noisey young ones I tend to remember like BadPenny. Incredible man though and obviously the font of all knowledge on slots - not BadPenny - but that’s true too.
