With the end of the 50s group build speeding towards us we come to that time when some of the assembled start begging for extra time

Does anyone need an extra 168 or 336 hours or shall we do away with this cherished tradition and have members crying in their paint pots and saying " wouldnt have happened in my day"

let us know

mark (CBE the elder)

Please, sir, may I respectfully request an extension of  at least one week?  (Cringe, plead, grovel)  I've  what I think is a credible and potentially entertaining De Havilland Vixen backstory half written but  Madame R has recently had a hip joint replaced and assisting  her  with sundry aspects of daily life  is taking up a great deal more time than I anticipated.  The hip, however , is healing remarkably well.

Incidentally, I initially read the highlighted section in your post as "....crying in their PINT pots...."

Blame it on autocorrect!

Also, you have my sympathies on the care giver duties. My SWMBO has a broken right arm so can't do much either.

Bridget and I send our best wishes to Mrs Kerick, and our condolences to you for the extra work this brings you.

If anything gets painted around our house it's because I did it! She's not the arts and crafts type.

I'll take two weeks please.  Just to be sure.   

My trio are unlikely to be finished.

There is just a possibility that with two weeks I can get the Meteor finished, so I'd like to crave a boon and ask for two please.

The other thing is that if anyone would like their builds moved into the "normal" threads once the GB is closed then let me know by PM.

ok

the 50s GB will now end at 2359 on 14th of June, year of our lord 2023

"For this relief, much thanks"    Bill Shakespeare  usually had the right words for the situation. 

 Hamlet Act 1 Scene1  in this case.

That would be most acceptable.
