AGS Summer North Show at Pudsey on Saturday 20th June
« on: June 15, 2009, 02:52:44 PM »
Just to remind everyone that the Pudsey Show is back at Pudsey Civic Hall on Saturday.  The usual suspects will be taking part in the Pudsey Pig Competition (if Elaine has checked out the Owls to see all is OK).  Though you might like to see afew folk getting in a bit of practice, down by the lake north of Malaga last week.

I hope Brian's not going to wear that shirt on Saturday. It'll put me right off my grub!

Or perhaps it's part of a cunning plan to beat the opposition and win the pig.

Can't believe anything will do that, Martin   ;D
It's the lack of a tie that worries me, second time only in public I think (or is it the third  ??? )

Johnny's Mickey Mouse impression is the worst I've seen  :P

Is warm weather training allowed in the Pudsey Pig regulations? Seems to be not  quite cricket, if you ask me.

Especially if you get the runs, Maggi?   Oops, apologies everybody!

 ... and Martin ... would you wear a tie with your pyjama jacket?

Anything goes Maggi in our quest to prevent stuff going beyond its 'sell by date', warm weather or not! ;D

Crumbs! I had no idea Gin had a 'sell by' date! Mind you, that could be because it's never lasted long enough for me to find out  :-X   ( I have a lot of thirsty visitors, y'know  ::)  )

Is that Martin Rogerson? He seems to have incredibly clean fingernails for a gardener, and in summer time too. :)

That was cruel of you Maggi, to mention the word "cricket." :'(

Sorry Lesley, cricket mention just slipped out.... like a lot of  catches lately....... you know we lost too :P

If you're meaning is that Martin in the pic re G&T, then ,no, that is the gardener and Pudsey Pig contestant known as Brian Smethurst; the other half of Black Pudding Girl, Shelagh  8)

Oh, so it is. I'm mixing my Brians and my Martins.

At least we both got further than the Aussies Maggi. ;D ;D ;D

By the way Maggi it wasn't just warm weather training, we were at altitude too.

I knew it.... see, that's an unfair advantage. I think the other piglets should demand you four have blood tests.... you might have been EPO doping too..... like the  shamed cyclists  :o    Who knows what you might be smuggling into those black puddings, Shelagh  :P

I expect that in spite of the heavy rain and hail that has been around in the UK recently, there will still be plenty of grand plants safely tucked in alpine houses to make a wonderful display  at the AGS Pudsey show tomorrow. May I wish everyone travelling to the show a safe and happy day out... good luck to all exhibitors... we look forward to seeing some photos of your plants later.... and may the Best Porker Win in the Pudsey Pig guzzling contest  :o ::) ;D
