Oh Limey!
Those aren't just fun, they are good photos too.
I could never get the little chap well lit AND close up at the same time.

Good job, esp the nuts.
If that was mine I'd be tempted to make it a Christmas card :)

Good deal !!

Looks like Gnomme is haveing fun !!

Later that day (yesterday) Gnomey had some serious work to do. He inspected the cake to make sure that enough rum had been sprinkled into it ...

He supervised the application of the marzipan ...

And then he set off to wake up the Xmas Cake Snow People!

And today, just in time ... Gnomey rallied the Snow People!
Attachment 36266
There was an awkward moment when they wanted to rush onto the icing before it was on the cake, but Gnomey kept everything under control ....

And with masterful precision the Snow People were arranged on the Cake at last!!

Gnomey for president!

That's great, limey. :)

this is WAY awesome!! GREAT job limey!!!

(hey can ya teach him how to speak russian while he's there? at least teach him how to order a beer or libation!)

Wonderful, Limey, FTW.

Is Gnomey up for grabs now?

Would he enjoy a spot of beach play with a duck? then maybe off to Ali and then south to Zen?

Gnommie going to AUS !!!!

Actually Zips, we agreed Gnomie would have a tour of Europe while he was here.
To keep postage down and ensure faster delivery times.
So he has at least Dani to go in the UK, and any Dwellar registering an interest (I don't remember but there were some). Be-Bop, CZ, Gunmaster etc

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
But it would make sense to do it geographically.

Especially because our Aussie Dwellars are quite active and we'd love to send him on a tour down-under without him having to zigzag back over the many miles it takes to get there.

ETA - any Dwellar with problems affording postage need only PM Philthy, Zip, me or Limey. We can raise postage between us. I believe the same will apply all along the Gnomie chain. We want photos and fun.

Gnommie going to AUS !!!! Eventually

Oh yes, of course!

Gnomey may get in the post tomorrow, as he is urgently needed in Danaland, I think ....

When Gnomey has finished touring the British Isles, he may welcome a change of venue and start a continental cruise. Maybe beginning in France...

I'll be happy to show Gnomie around my town (what there is of it ;) ) when he gets here, but it does make sense for him to tour Europe first.

Is he required at Sundae's house-party / dwellar gathering?

Limey has been smashed by weather recently.
The boat hasn't been running from her island to the mainland.

Also Dani (the next recipient) has not been in the best of places.
I'm sure Gnomie will surface again soon.

I doubt I'll have more than one visitor in March. If that!
But Gnomie moves on. He's a travelling chap. It's a long term goal of his to be inter-continental.

He's just getting his passport in order. How he ever got into Britain without one I'll never know!!

How he ever got into Scotland without one is another...?!
I was woken up at the border and forced to consume tablet...

Ffs whatever you do, don't mail him from the ballard post office.

Send the little fella out here in chains!

Some people like Yorkshire

Bad boy Foot.

yes, but I'm good at it.

... he says as he licks his eyebrows

i thought everyone could do that. i can.

Plthijinx licks Footfootfoot's eyebrows! OMG!

All the way from Texas, no less!

Where in the heck is gnomie?

I put him in the mail - who knows when he'll arrive :lol:

He arrived!!!

With his travelling companion:)

Pics will be taken over the weekend.

I was gonna take a picture of Gnomie,
But then I got high....

j/k of course
Dani might have been puppy browsing, listening to Dr Who, planning her trip to see me in March, cooking fried eggs or any number of other things.

JUST DON'T FORGET YOUR GNOMIE PROMISE
C'mon gel. As Grandad would have said.

<---looks at his watch.....taps fingers, scratches head, patiently waiting, rolls a cigarette, goes outside to smoke it, comes back, sits down, no pics.

<-----goes to bed hoping to see his little buddy tomorrow.

Sorry m'dear :p

I had a bit of a horrid weekend. Went on a downer, and really wasn't in the mood for doing much of anything. Was hoping then to do something this week, but I'm so behind on some work that has to be sorted out this week, that I really just have to get my head down.

The photos will be taken. They will be posted. They will be soon. I am not sure exatcly when,. but it's going to be soon. I am enlisting some help from J to make sure that Gnomey has a lot of fun. Right now he is lazing in the livingroom, sitting on the mantlepiece, keeping guard of my coffee cup and wondering who the handsome dog is in the photograph. (Gnomey that is....J wouldn't fit on the mantlepiece....and he knows who the dog is.)

awww, no sweat hun, JUST HURRY UP! (you know i was kidding there!) i don't have gnomey now but i'm just as busy. my bid package for this west texas project just got moved up a day and tomorrow is a half day for me. overtime pay is an issue on this job so i can't go over 40 but yet am still expected to pound 70 hours in a 40 hour bag. well at least i expect myself to. no worries dear. i was just checking in on the little fella.

Update on Gnomey:

Most of the pics are on J's camera as mine is being such a pain. We need to go through them and put them into order and then I'll post them here.

But just to let you know about his adventures with us:

He has not only visited me in Northowram, he has also visited Hebden Bridge and accompanied us on our trip to Guernsey, so we can add Mancherter Airport and the Channel Islands (on a propellor plane!!!!!) to his list.

Hey Baby!
Glad to get an update.

When you say "us" do you mean J went to Guernsey with you?
I envy your relationship.

so when is gnomie gonna get in the mail?

Ah yes. Who am I supposed to send him to now?



Woolly Dalek and Hard Black Cock are going to miss Gnomey and his travelling pal.

Anyone else in UK want him? If not, then someone in France was keen ... can't remember who

I think CZ wanted him.
Gun definitely did afterwards.

Gunmaster i think was next...

Just PM me when you're ready to send the little guy on its way and I'll send you my contact address.

????? wherezeeyat?

Best to move him on before Carrot decides he'd make a good teething toy.

So where is that little guy hidden ?

looks like his travel is over. :(

Last seen with Dana. She'll send him on, but she is puppywhelmed at the moment.

I think carrot eated him. ;)

even if he did eat gnomie.....sift through the stool and send him on! (washed of course!)

Sorry!

He got packed away safe during decorating. I need to dig him back out and send him on to Gunmaster.


Carrot has taken over my life entirely.

I hope you're taking extensive videos for our entertainment?

^^^WSS^^^

is he in the mail yet?

har! yes he is.

He's had a lengthy stay and a bit of a rest (hibernating for a couple of weeks). But his visit was jampacked with activity so no wonder he was flaked out.

There will be pics soon. They need collating from three different cameras :p His stay covered a spell in Halifax, some time in Hebden and a trip to Guernsey via Manchester.

He was most insistent that we get some decent pics of the airport and the plane we travelled in. It was a propellor plane, because Guernsey airport is too ickle for a standard passenger plane. This, he insisted on, on account of Philthy's love of planes.

can't wait to see them!

OK. It is now official !

Gnomey is in France. The country you go to for good wine, good cooking, fast women and very slow bureaucracy.

I manage to collect him at the post office this morning. And it looks like he's touring with a friend.

Oh Hai, Ratso! That's where you got to, huh?


Sent by thought transference

BRAVO!

:)

A classy silken case they stand in.

Holy Christ. This thread is five months old. How friggin far is it to Calais, again? Those things could have swum to France faster.

NOW they'll have a good time. Take them to the range GM!
