Well I reckon it's about time we had a meet don't you folks?

It's been a while since we've had an AONW 'family' day out so let's go for the Saturday on bank holiday weekend for this one and bring all the wives & kids etc along New venue this time as well - the Aviation Viewing Park at Manchester Airport where we can see all the planes coming and going at close range. Yeah I know, very nerdy but it's a good day out, honest

http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/m...nt/ViewingPark

Full info on the link but there's plenty to see there as well as a souvenir shop full of stuff for the kids. Entry is £4 for a car and driver, then £1 for each passenger. They also do guided tours on CONCORDE - check out the times etc

I reckon we go for an early afternoon start, maybe 2pm, ***NOTICE - NOW MEETING AT 4PM*** then we can all have an early tea at a really nice pub called the Romper just round the corner from the viewing park:

So who's up for it then?

Re: Planes, no trains, but lots of automobiles
Tony - you know it is all in jest. Still it wasn't a very nice thing to post that picture of me - I look bad enough as normal without help from you thankyouverymuch.

I take no responsibility for Thomas's favoured remark. It is all down to Lisa saying it every time Liverpool are on telly and they get away with another foul, avoid another warranted yellow, grab a stuffy equaliser, or just simply walk out onto the pitch.

I didn't expect him to come out with it in company at the mention of "scousers"!

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Under the hood, you and me are the same (Lightning McQueen)

yeah, right!

In which case you might want to explain why you were actually about to take the picture of me casually leaning back on the fence, blissfully unaware of your intentions at first?

You know I can never like you that way H!
