    I caught this big trout - but I had to throw it back ‘cos it had broken leg...

    BTW - what’s going on with your left leg in that shot - is it a falsie

    Just had a text from the venue...the buffet has gone up to £6.50 a head! I’m sure we’ll cope.

    I’ll order food for 10 people (as they make loads) to be served at 14:00. I’ll be there from 12:30. Looking forward to it Gents.

    That was just due to the multiple identities of some of the MCGTG members!

    A “today’s the day” bump!

    Remember we welcome everyone...Mancunian, Yorkshireman, even Scousers! Come along, have a pint or 7, and chat about watches.

    Sorry I missed it, had a stomach bug yesterday and decided against travelling today. Probably would've been OK as it turns out,ended up clearing my garage and generally pottering around at home. Would rather have been looking at watches and drinking beer with you guys, I don`t like backing out when I`ve said I`d come.

    Wish I’d been there, at least so I could apologise to unclealec

    Instead, I was dodging lunatics on the M25.

    Maybe next time.

    You didn't believe that about the prosthetic leg did you Zelig?

    You definitely need to get yourself to the next GTG in order to better gauge the timbre of the attendees.

    Great afternoon guys n gal - a la next one say I.
