Just a word to say thanks to all who helped an old blind Dragon last night  :Claugh: (to many guiding hand to mention all)

And a special thanks to Muncher who helped me escape from Leicester sq, quite a few drunks and many other near misses
Jelly hang onto him and if not give him to me (Even the wife would agree  :Claugh:)

I can't wait to see Q's pics especialy the one with Lozzi and the chains (Please don't bomb my house Hex  :Claugh:)

I am begining to think that Haloween is my favorite meet

Thanks again all for making it a great meet

 Hey all,

Just a random aussie  who happened to be in London during Halloween and managed to get a few snaps.

One of the guys there I spoke to mentioned this site and I thought I would post up a couple of shots I took on the night.
NB* There are a few more that I will post once I get some time - if you want a larger version, let me know.

Wow, that Dragon costume is just amazing. I'd love to see a vid of the wings unfurling and a bit of running and bouncing. =)
Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

I cant get the pix on a comp with functional internet. If I could, no probs. My laptop not talking to internet and the`PC isnt reading the DVD that I burned the pix onto.  But thanks for all the advice.


A few things that Ill remember.

Al those monsters and Aliens and scary beasts, all had to stop and wait for the 'little man to go green' b4 crossing the road!

Lozzie suggesting we go to a quiet pub, one in a side road, an old mans pub. To which I kept repeating the mantra 'this is the westend of London...on a Saturday nite!'

Rite Tamiflu just arrived  says best if I take with fud.... so ttfn Im off to do kitchen stuff

Well Sat was a blinding meet..

and i am unable to see out of it for the next few days .. ( the hospital was able to find it and take it out but now its sore and kinda cut in places )

but the main thing is that it aint put me off Bocking.. i shall bounce back from this ( forgive the punn  :Ctwitcy: )

as for now i shall carry on with my sweet mod to my Bocks :)

Well I think it is now 'established'

Tho for next year, work on 'the end' more than the beginning maybe.

But gotta be said, damn lucky with the weather. You can see peeps were sweating in tees on the nite. But the next day....rain and wind.

Also, now that you have kindly given me the 'technology', Ill work on a thread of all the CB 09 pix Ive not posted

OOO un yes there are a few 'PG' pix , Ill see about posting them 'somewhere'
