Any fishermen,well I heard Holty often goes down to the river to dangle his maggot in the water, thats what Anna told me anyway. 😀

My ‘imtelligemce’ is directly proportiomal to the mumber of Laphroaigs I’ve had. Actually thought I was beimg ‘jocular’ so maybe you could catch up om the simgle malts before reading – or summat. 😀
I do kmow what freeloadimg is, was im the mob, it’s a core skill!! :diablo: But in this comtext I thimk I would call it ‘taking advamtage’.
Damm it, seem to be fixated on the ‘m’ key mow. . . . time for bed I thimk.
:rolleyes:
Aha, sorry Les 😮 . Didn’t think that post was your style, maybe I need to catch up. I’ve not had a drink tonight, I’ll make up for it tomorrow though. :diablo:
Cheers

LesB, you’re an intelligent man, why come out with such drivel as huge screens and electro magnets.
I was commenting on ways to stop it, as you said, it can’t be stopped. I was just making it clear what freeloading is as there seems to be some confusion on this thread.
Although, there was a show a few years ago( RIAT Cottesmore) where the police were constantly patroling the roads around the airfield and moving on people who parked up on the roadsides to watch the show.
Now, any Bedfordshire Police officers willing to drive past Old Warden on show days.

the bloke with a long lens stuck in the traffic queue waiting to get into, eg, RIAT. freeloaders?
No not a freeloader, he’s set out to go to the show and pay to go on site. If he’s stuck in a queue then thats bad luck and if he’s got his camera he may as well take shots while he waits.
Now if the same guy drives a hundred miles to go to Shoreham for example, a charity show run by volunteers, with his cameras and lenses and parks up in a nearby field and is there all day watching and photographing the show without paying a penny or attempting to get then that is freeloading. Simple

I like the photo of the Cessna 182 with a radar dish mounted on the roof. what sort of nav aid is that? 😉
Some sort of GA AWACS. 😉 😀
I should add that I am aware of costs involved and know some people involved in organising airshows, I am also aware of the cost of organising one flying item at an outdoor event and believe me it ain’t cheap and it usually costs more than the organisers make back.

I agree its difficult for RobAnt on getting into shows. Everyone else, if you wanna see a show for free, go to Eastbourne or somewhere like that. Its free. I don’t normally get wound up about freeloaders that much. But what does wind me up is people who view the show from outside and then come onto forums like this and moan about the show. This hasn’t happened in this thread but it has happened on the key forums in the past.

Smoother than all of mine 😀
I must say that the pilot handled that brilliantly.
Great game and I agree, probably the best of the tournament so far. I must say I wanted Germany to win coz I’m not keen on the negative play the Italians have and hate all their playing up and diving. But tonight they were great and deserved to win. I now say they’ll win the final, but, what do I know. I said England would win and we lost so I said Germany and they lost. DOH.

The newspapers by printing such a story could fuel hatred also and that worries me, We are delicate times at the moment and the Terror threat is high i really hope this eventgies without a problem.
Having read through this I would just like to mention that the link in the first post is for The Sun, trash that would have us believe that every muslim in the world is a terrorist.
I also enjoy the ” I’m not racist, BUT…..
I’m with Grey Area and Ren Frew.
