2012 Lambeth Country show - 15 and 16 September, Brockwell Park

[Onket]

We're currently planning on going on Sat. Weather looks better Sunday though so who knows.

 

[Orang Utan]

You don't just go on one day!

 

[marty21]

Can't make it this year - had a lovely time last year - I will be in Swansea this weekend

 

[Crispy]

You don't just go on one day!

Depends on the quantity of cider...

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'd have to go for a Bradley Wiggins - but I've seen such a good one done (can't find the pic now) that I couldn't compete.

David Weir?

 

[Orang Utan]

Who is David Weir?

 

[editor]

I'm doing both: Saturday afternoon and then off to play Duckie with the Mrs Mills Exp. And then back for more on Sunday!

 

[Onket]

You don't just go on one day!

When it was only me I'd go both days, yes.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Who is David Weir?

Are you joking?

 

[Orang Utan]

Sorry, CBA to Google it.
I didn't see the Paralympics.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Sorry, CBA to Google it.
I didn't see the Paralympics.

He won 4 golds!

 

[Orang Utan]

Great! He would be good to make a sculpture out of! Wheels made from slices of fruit etc

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Great! He would be good to make a sculpture out of! Wheels made from slices of fruit etc

and she could get extra points for sticking his four gold medals on, and even more points for his baby!

 

[Greebo]

You don't just go on one day!

This year I probably do - somewhere else to be most of Sunday. But I might wander through and pick up a few pints of chucklehead on Saturday.

 

[stethoscope]

Gonna drop by for a few hours on Saturday hopefully and see what's going on. Can't do Sunday which is annoying as I'd quite like to have seen 'Mr Vibes' Hunnigale and Janet Kay alongside Bovell. Will keep an eye out for any of youse lot!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Or these ones might be easier to do as they're laying down

 

[leanderman]

The tents and fencing are going up already ...

 

[zenie]

I shall be there both days, provided it's sunny

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Can't wait. One of the best days of the year and the opportunity to see a whole load of family, mates, neighbours and locals. I'm looking forward to Joseph's Amazing Racing Pigs. And the Ferret Show.

That's a cocktail, right? Count me in.

 

[girasol]

That's a cocktail, right? Count me in.

yeah, one that will make your body ache for a week afterwards and acquaint you with muscles you didn't know you had

I normally need more than one for them to have that effect, but I suppose you are open for an hour.
