I think Dave's interested in buying this outfit for taking along to the shows this year, so we'll have a bit more than a helmet for people to wear!

That's a brave clone! ;D
Baldrick Lives!
P.S Do I win some sort of sweepstake for typing the obvious first?
No....Even though it was a cunning plan. ;)

Rufus T. Firefly must be the colonel of this regiment.
I know this probably shows how sad I really am, but I couldnt help but notice that you've been in that unit now for over a year and you still keep the floor clean. :)
Report to the guardroom at 1900 hours for extra duties for wearing non regulation trousers.
Carry on private clone!

I was just thinking the same thing! Having re-read the moving thread a few days ago, it'd be interesting to see some new photos of the digs to see how it's changed since the operation moved in there.

Coincidentally, this was only a few days after I'd given it a thorough cleaning, hence the tidiness! If we'd taken this pic a week earlier, I doubt you'd have been able to see the floor!

I'll see if I can get some taken, as it has been a while. There's a lot more stuff in here now, more racks, bigger laser machine, new storage units, and a load of junk piled by the front door!

"So Leon, do you expect me to talk?"
"No FSN, I want you to do exactly the opposite."

Cheers - Phil
I had to think about that!
;D ;D ;D

I'm slightly worried that the "to do" board is quite empty. Do you think that Pendraken need some suggestions for new products?
Quote from: fsn on 18 February 2014, 09:54:52 PM
For what?
Good question! This was supposed to be a caption for the photo of Leon, but I managed to delete part of the code so the picture doesn't show up. The answer to your question, however, might be "a sunbeam"!?

Very smart sir
take care

And the German was THAT big!
Leon tries out for "Oh What A Lovely War", but totally misunderstands "jazz hands".
Suit you sir........(Plus exaggerated exhalation).

And this is what the well dressed minion will be wearing in 2014...If only we could persuade them to get rid of the dungarees underneath
I want to know what's written under 'To Do' on the whiteboard
I think I can just make out ' Humour the idiots on the forum' but I cant be sure

You've spent time cleaning? No wonder my order took three weeks! :P :P :P

That's the 'To-Do Right Now' board, so it gets filled up before shows with things we need to remember, like catalogues, show orders, etc. There's also a few long-term jobs which have been on there for at least 6 months, including 'Replace strip lights'... we've only got 50% of them working in the unit, but they're 40ft in the air and we don't have a platform.

Is it just me or does that clone look scarily young :o
But tragically not too young to have worn it for real
