For those thinking of visiting Bovy, I thoroughly recommend it. Name me one other museum in the world that has two King Tigers and a Jagdtiger!
If you don't get time before Saturday, why not pop in on the Sunday?
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
is it on the way along the south coast?
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
You'll have to go slightly inland, but not too far.

I did warn you
That other place I looked at for liners (recommended by Yith) - they never even replied to my email or answered the phone! Do these people not want the trade?
Is this for the MP lids, Martin? How easy would it be to transfer the liners from other shells?

No. the MP lids came to nowt as painting decent hoops on them was beyond my abilities. I wanted them for the 2 noobs who are coming with me - both have the same headsize as I do. I'm considering putting nets on a couple of plastic ones instead.
It looks like Sandy's got one or two MkIIs, which don't appear to have been spoken for.

I can raise 3 mkII's if I don't keep one in reserve for myself, all approximately size 58's

Can you bring all you have?
Sure, I have 3 x MK 2's and a MK 3 at a push ,but they don't look right alongside MK 2's, got a GS cap with a Herts badge I can bring along too,bit of a bugger I just gave away 2 postwar liners.
This weekend is approaching with equal amounts of excitement & dread, I have had to sell my soul to participate in Il Giogo.
Friday night I have to take part in a Zumba 'open evening' at the zumba class my wife goes to. 
Saturday I have had to do a duty swap so that I can take the day off.
Saturday night I have to go out to dinner at one of wifey's friends and Sunday it's back on duty....
Still it's gonna be GREAT!
See you Saturday morning

“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942
"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."
Joseph Stalin, November 1942
Not looking forward to it. Just make allowances if I start to boogy in Bruno on Saturday

a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
Sorting kit this evening, so it now feels real - excitometer positively quivering with charge. 
Mine's still not registering. I've got another first rehearsal with a new drummer (we've gone through more than Spinal Tap), which is preoccupying my mind.
However, I have made 2 repro 1940s clipboards today.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
