Regards to all them in the frozen NEast

[Sam Vimes]

I will come up (i get on with Geardies)

Shame that there's only a handful that have replied to this thread then.;) :D
A quick word of advice, if this meet happens and it's in a pub somewhere on Teesside, I'd not shout that too loudly if I were you. If it's in or around Sunderland I'd not even risk whispering it.;) :D

[paul hardwick]

Only joking!!! I get on with most folk, certainly if i keep my "GOB" shut!!
With a smile Paul.

[leafcut]

Dave,if you re post this thread it may create more interest here in the north east.(Whats wrong with mackems like ?) X fingers.

[philuk44]

Paul

It'd be good if you could make it. I'm sure you'll get along fine with us Geordies, Mackems and Smoggies............................. as long as you don't mention football :C :censored:

[philuk44]

Phil

[Phil]

Any progress Dave. I don't want to pester, but the last one was so much fun I looked forward to this one.
Any joy mate?
Phil.

[daveathall@btin]

I will sort something out shortly Phil, to be honest I kinda fell out of love with knife collecting for some time, I just packed up me knives and put them away, the signs are good though, i have started looking and feeling them again, Im also looking more and more at Hennies site for new knives, I will pick out a free weekend shortly and see if it suits most people.

I can only apologise that this has dragged on, as the last one seemed to go so well.

Sorry again fellas, Ill get back on it.

[Eric Olthw8]

No need to apologise mate, you're doing us a favour, and I for one haven't gotten off my backside to organise anything!

If you fall out of love with your knives again, feel free to send them to me for safe-keeping ;)

All the best mate,

Dave

[sanibel686]

As a sand dancer I couldn't possibly get myself into the Geordie/mackem debate (mackem spelt all in lower case, keep them in their place!!!).
As for teeside, they're almost cockneys.


But I did want to ask any historians out there, is there such a thing as a monkey skinning knife?

[bigkev]

where are you from in south shields sanibel????
im from whitelease area(holder house)...
now in hiding in jarra

[sanibel686]

Originally the Lawe Top mate :noggin: , Now Cleadon :land:

[monkeyhanger]

Yikes, skinning monkeys! They hang 'em high round these parts.

[leafcut]

When this meetup gets sorted can I bring my Lakeland terrier-small furry crocodile-hard as nails & eats akitas for breakfast, from Sunderland-of course ha ha.

[ship]

Yikes, skinning monkeys! They hang 'em high round these parts.
