The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

The sixty believes that the way the Vorts say it makes it sound like two seperate words. However, the sixty also does not want to offend the Si, who has proven infinitely wise in such matters prior.

Yeah, I should have warned you guys to hide your Spat Gone Wild DVD's, because if the wife or girlfriend sees it, you'll never be allowed anywhere near Atlanta at the beginning of September.

I should have given you the "fake" covers for them, that mark the DVD as a "Special DVD For Men Who Want To Appreciate Their Women More, And Listen More Closely To All The Things They Want To Tell Them."

Well after a morning of justifying any future events I think I am over worked in the positive stakes, so my sincere apologies for the lateness in this post.

I would like to say a huge thank you to everybody who worked for months to make this event happen.

Teri as always you have been a star and I could not have done any of it without you, Tony RB, Jon, Geordi, D1z and all the UKCM for the AE, Bug Hunt and just making the public terrified! The Scientists, civilians and support team working to make the AE a great success again (thanks to Sue for putting up with loosing Paul all weekend). Thanks to Alex for laying the groundwork last year to make this work so well once again.

To Gareth, Paul, Andy and all the UKCM crew who put on a stunning show in the Boot Camp, I am sure you will all raise your glasses to the fantastic artwork created in the Boot Camp booklets and around the building from Mr Troon (thanks for all the hard work matey) Mike for the amazing additions we had to the AE (and CAKE!!!!), Kevin for the sweeties (I might have nicked one or two) and for not killing me when I forgot the auction items (we can use them next year, I am sure they will have gone up in value!), Simon for the Sentry Gun, OH GOD WHO HAVE I MISSED!!!! Harry and Dave for their collections (I still prefer Dave's tut Harris!!! :lol: ), Geordi for making me laugh time and time again (mainly with the story from Harris about the diesel light :roll: ), Karen for being an amazing person (come on she puts up with Geordi), D1z for jumping on me for cash at the auction and everybody for spending a shed load of cash for charity....

To everybody who pulled out all the stops, travelled from across the world (thank you Spat - we will sell out 100 seats next time and have an adult only evening with Miss Spatcave and an adults only AE!) without you this event would be nothing, so next year I promise to fill the place so you can complain about how busy it was instead!!!

Can I finally add that I had a tear in my eye when Jon got his gold patch, thank you Paul for allowing us to break into your busy schedule in the AE, but this just HAD to happen. For those of you not aware of all the hard work Jon put in, it was A LOT. Without him the Robot guys would not have been there, we would not have had a rota, script and the infrastructure to run the AE. Add to this that the last person I escorted of the premises on Monday afternoon was Jon, you will understand that he was a truely deserving winner of a gold patch.

I am going to post the same comments on the UKG board, as this was an event where both groups worked just as hard to raise money for charity and as such both deserve equal praise for their support.

See you all again next year! :wink:

You don't need to thank me for my work in the Bug Hunt. I was just doing what comes naturally for Abe: Stalk, Pose, Hiss, Lunge, Pose, Hiss and repeat!

As for the work I did for the AE, it was bloody hard work at times but I got my repayment in screams! Big thanks to Phil Quicksaber and Jamie (NSC) for their help setting up the Challenger suite tech. Without them, I would have been a stressed-out pile on the floor again. Also, thanks to Harry, Sandy, Kev, Andy and Matt (NSC) for helping with returning Challenger to it's former condition. They meant that I could get back to the hotel in time to be Abe for a while before dinner!!!

Cheers Malika - It was an awesome weekend, and it obviously would never have happened without you!
BTW, I'd like to make sure everyone knows that all the banter between us slovenly Marines and the shiny shiny guys in white is all just friendly pisstakery!
It's in our natures as grunts, after all ;)

No problem Malika. I thought it had just slipped your mind. None of us will recover fully for a while!

Of course, I forgot to thank you. Like I said, I don't think there is any other Event Manager in the world who would allow the "lunatics to take over the asylum" to the extent that you did for this event! You organised a truly unique event.

I hope your boss's family's great experience in the AE helped to make a case for future events. ;)

I'm still tired even after a good nights sleep, guess that is because i did not get much sleep at the Hotel.....someone in the next room turned snoring into a national event... :x

I had a great time, got to meet you guys, lots of good memories, doing the bug hunts, helping out as best i could, Spat telling endless stories every night, going toe to toe with a TIE fighter Pilot... :twisted:
There are soooo many funny stories...will leave that to others to tell,
got to hang out with all the guest as they stayed at the same hotel, spent sunday night sitting chatting with Ian whyte,

Bazfish and axeman...sorry Teckno Viking....you guys rock... laughed so much my face hurt.... and i survied a bear hug from Teckno Viking....

God, I hope so too. My second group to scare when I was in the bugsuit. Serious thanks to ADC and juniorengineerdredds for letting me play, although it did wonder if I was being groomed to join the Hive...

Must finish Nat the Pred first...

I thought it was PAUL who was KING snorer,oh so Baz seemes to have been the sufferer of this :D

PVB,No mate my voice started to go with the travel down with Hadrian`s Wall. Had such a hoot then Fri night pretty much set my tone.

So it`s the COMMAND structre of the UKCM who are the snorers eh?

TECKNO VIKING was HAPPY to BE First with YOU :twisted: Glad we didn`t have to do it in front of everyone too ;) Though everyone else seemed to like it round that corner too ;)


Why thank you. I'm glad that teckno viking is pleased. Valhalla rejoice! :D

And Gareth; surely the highlight of the bug hunt was being in a cupboard for ten minutes with me ;)

It was great to see all of you again. Thank you for making me feel so welcome (despite my lack of armour). As always: I had a brilliant time :D
