Re: Coventry Auction 25/11/18
It may have disappeared briefly whilst I was editing. The online catalogue is now ready to view - but be warned!!!! - things will look a bit jumbled on mobile devices for a while. Should all be OK in half an hour or so.

Re: Coventry Auction 25/11/18
I'll miss the Coventry auction this year, first one I've missed in 7 years.
I like to stay in Coventry the night before, have a curry at one of the best curry houses I know (and I know a LOT), get to the club early to move a few things around for the two J's, claim my usual table and comfy chair, a little higher than the auction floor so I don't have to get up to bid, then camp out in the warm with a beer and bacon butty. Others I know usually join me for a drink and a chat (doesn't sound much like EH does it ) and as I'm usually a buyer and a seller no point in jumping into the pay line too early, then off to Witherspoons for a light meal and another beer before retiring to the hotel to dream of the machines I didn't win. A late breakfast at the hotel and a leisurely drive home in the morning. Might as well make a weekend of it, it's only once a year... more's the pity.

I'll spare a thought for BP when I go to see the Lemurs in Madagascar... it's the eyes that will bring him to mind.

Could be, the text says people were in awe of her, so we have that in common.

The EH auction thread bemoaned the lack of activity/posts on this thread.
Think I prefer the shorter version....

Re: Coventry Auction 25/11/18
I found one for you (you seemed to be struggling so I thought Id help )I've looked, there isn't an emoji best suited to respond with
Re: Coventry Auction 25/11/18
I'm relatively local and even I'm getting to the point of actually LOOKING FORWARD to going to Coventry on Sunday ... don't know what subliminal messages this forum sends out but it's working.
Re: Coventry Auction 25/11/18
No, thats not it, it was an emoji for 'pass the sick bucket' I was looking for

Re: Coventry Auction 25/11/18
Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if there are many spares at this auction, can't see very much listed?
Re: Coventry Auction 25/11/18
That’s a shame that you won’t be at Coventry on Sunday Coppinpr. I was looking forward to picking your brain on a few issues I have as I know you also have an interest in trade stimulators. You probabably don’t remember me but I’m the young chap that was sat next to you at last years auction that bought the payramid. Hope you have a good holiday and might see you at next years sale, cheers Olliecoppinpr wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 9:02 pm I'll miss the Coventry auction this year, first one I've missed in 7 years.

Having never been to Coventry Auction (it's a 3 hour journey), would it be possible for some photos of auction room etc?
