Beer, fire, shineys, sharps, wine, tool tweaks, excursions, shopping, pub, cherry bakewell ice cream, the musical trio's twilight moment, power tools, metalwork, torches, cider, good food, good company, hangovers, and a very generous spoonful of mirth and merriment ... for those who couldn't make it, don't worry you didn't miss much  :P

No, I see, you make that very clear...  ;)

The good thing about the Internet is that it lets weird people reach out to eachother and discover there are more people like themselves in the world. The bad thing about the Internet is that it lets weird people reach out to eachother and discover there are more people like themselves in the world.  :tu:

Wow ostrich eggs are tough.. maybe a power drill or a hammer and chisel is a good idea?

Wow, no wonder you never see ostrich eggs in a Cold Steel video!

That's one tough egg- you sure worked up an appetite cracking that one open!

The only way they can beat that is if the kangaroo meat tried to jump out of the pan!

BTW Tony, I love this pic.  In a rare boastful moment I would also like to say that this was my first and only throw with the shovel and I got an excellent stick. 8)  This is also know as "quitting while you're ahead". ;)

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: (It's SOOO tempting to say yes)  >:D


That was the rather eccentric shop owner. I have encountered this gentleman's store and eccentricities before (shhh, don't let the others know - but the reason for steering them there was more than just antiques ;) ) and whilst I expected some form of quirky behaviour this chap excelled himself that day  :D :D :D

Regarding Q1 ..... we pretty much know as much as you do mate  :rofl:

Just like to thank Mark again for having us bunch of weirdos in his house  :salute:

And thanks for the pressies, the food and coffee  and of course the company  :cheers:

Like Chris mentioned earlier, there wasn't a huge number of new tools to play with this time but I think the nicest item I handled was Al's Chris Caine chopper survival tool.

It was nice to see a little Gerber Dime in the flesh.  I think the price Gareth got it for was about right but its no way worth the UK RRP!  Nice bottle opener :D
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Well I had a blast. Enjoyed meeting everyone and best of all didn't have very far to travel at the end.
Thankyou to all that came, especially those that answered all my questions regarding modding saks and about flashlights both topics I know almost nothing about and realised I must have bored with quite easy questions.
Until next time

Just getting caught up here on last weekend's meet, looks like a fun time was had by all :cheers: Sure do wish I could have been there too :) I've got plenty of questions, but the most important one is Who is to blame for not getting a video of this moment?! >:( :D :D

So, surely there are some more photos to be shared of this epic gathering of MTorgers...? :pok: :pok: :)
