[Paranoid Dave]

[Albie]

Thanks guys for the nice positive comments. It is a pleasure this bit reading your pleased and consider its worth it. A bespoke calender just for you guys.

Yes I would like to do another and I hope Chris would again give his talents to us again next year. Dont forget the pictures need to be taken through out the year through 4 seasons if possible. Snow is good.

[Kerry]

Hi Albie, already got camera out for those good shots for the next one.:chuckle:

Thanks for all your hard work.

Kerry

[Shuffy]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, many thanks for all your kind words, I think we're both delighted you all (so far) seem to like it. If I may, I'd just like to say a few thank you's (in no particular order):

• Albie - for all his hard work, support and patience working with me (not easy, trust me).
• Our secret 'Fact Finders' - Many thanks for helping us out at short notice, you know who you are!
• Everyone who submitted pictures - Absolutely brilliant photography, you should all be very proud.
• Our buying public - Thank you all so much for backing this up with your hard earned...

And as they say, 'the pleasure is in the making'. Happy Christmas one and all.

Right, I'm off to Calendar Rehab…

[Capo]

[Gordon H]

Received mine today...most excellant and a little piccy of my yellow 600 on the yellow March month page.

Thanks very muchly

Doh!!! Yellow - March...... what a give away.......:banghead:

that only leaves 11 other months for the great unwashed to ponder till they recieve the goods.........

[Rally]

Shall we guess white for December then?

[rossifumi]

Shall we guess white for December then?

Or Red? can't remember now but there is a white month too

The spooky thing is...my surname is March too!! der der der

[uksurfer]

hang on Gordon, i'm sure theres more months....
white bikes are on june....... :thumbsup:

[Panther]

Just had a peek at calendar and thought it looks great! good work guys.

This will teach me to submit photo's stupidly late (the problems with working away on rotation, sometimes it hard to plan things) Still happy I made it into last years though.

[vtaggart]

Got mine today over the pond here in Norn Iron, very professional job go to the top of the class and collect a gold star A+++++ :cool:

Thanks to taking the time to organise well worth the efforts.

It seems Wiltshire is the slow County then. :( Hopefully tomorrow..................

[uksurfer]

it might have been quicker if you had yours on Sunday!!
Its worth the wait, just hang in there! Our postie has been coming round later and later this week.......

[Gordon H]

It seems Wiltshire is the slow County then

Thought that was Chris on the twisty bits............ :rolleyes:

[Stafford]

Last chance Saturday! :rolleyes:

Thought that was Chris on the twisty bits............ :rolleyes:
He can go slow in straight lines as well, ask Liz. :biggrin:

[gary tompkins]

I'm still shocked to see how many times I featured this year. I new the Ann Summers catalogue modelling, and gym sessions would payoff eventually. Anyway as said before - top quality job again guys :thumbsup:

Oh and Rally.. Whiltshire is slow :fou:

Possibly due to number of tractors on the road or quantity of Devizes water that get's drunk

[Stafford]

Oh and Rally.. Whiltshire is slow :fou:


Just like your spelling GT :chuckle:

[chris yeatman]

DOH! :dunce:

[DaffyDuc]

Somerset doesn't seem to be any faster! perhaps tomorrow - snow permitting.:worried:

[weimeranerman]

Well, I just received this rather big package through the post. Had to widen my door to fit a new letter box pdq, so that the poor old postie could lighten his load (no s******s please!)

The envelope had the biggest stamp on it in the world.................. I thought stamps sort of represented the coutries they were from rather than the other way around!

How much do they cost? .................... kinnell l!!!!!!!!

Read (pronounce as 'red') comments on here and got to be honest, in my youf I used to be a bit of a mans man............... NO!! Not like that!!!!!!! What do you think I am?

Don't answer that!!!

Well you know, the kind that grabbed hold of your shorts from between your legs when packing down and then proceeded to play with odd shaped balls!

OK, maybe that's not the best description in the world........

what was that old piece of advice about stop digging!l! ............... (and for God's sake don't mention fork handles)!

Change subject fast....................

You know you can do this ................... just remember that public speaking course you did in 19XX ...................

Now you are rambling............

Well, all I wanted to say was that last years looked pretty damn good and by the size of it and that stamp (btw how much did THAT cost?) I can't wait!. But being a bit on the masochistic side, I have decided to wait until at least Christmas Day to unwrap the offering.............

Anyway enough of that digestive biscuit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Albie and Shuffy thanks a million - it sounds as if it is an absolute masterpiece!
I will spend ages trying to find a suitably prominent place to put it on display (oh and I had better find somewhere to put that damn calendar too!)

Thanks fellow Ducatisti!

Oh bugger - I got that wrong didn't I ------- - - - - - - that's the other side, init!

Thanks a bunch Monster(ati)? Or whatever.............

It's still good in here!

But I'm sure someone will come along and correct me very soon!

[utopia]

Mine's just arrived, all present and correct.
Awesome.
Thanks very much (again) to all concerned.
I'm definitely planning a photo shoot to try and get my bike featured next year..(you are going to do another next year, aren't you? ....please)

[Albie]

I take it no ones had two extra then. Im getting suspicious you see because I tried to be perfect this year. I hoping I got it right and some thieving scumbag nicked it out of said envelope before posting through door or in sorting. Never want to assume anyone would and do hope its not and all will be sorted and a genuine mistake.

Thanks all again for great comments and I do hope all others land soon and also hope its drivable tommorrow for the FREE delivery otherwise you will all have to pay for envelopes and postage Im afraid.:banghead:

[weimeranerman]

Just read your post Albie so thought I had better open mine now just in case. Sorry only one included!

But realised there was a little extra included - a Christmas card!

Merry Christmas to you both too!

Though I've not got mine yet, Gutsy brought hers along to the Hampster Christmas lunch so we were all able to admire Albie and Shuffy's thoroughly professional handiwork.

[Stafford]

Looks great you two, so well done to Shuffy and Albs.
Got any spare?

[big pete]

Mine arrived on its own today and I have to say its brilliant!!!! even better than last year ........maybe because mines in it:woot:.
Seriously tho lovely personal touch on the last page which demonstrates the character and people in the best forum Ive had the pleasure of being part off.

[Rally]

Hi Albie & Shuffy,

I wondered if anyone would notice that. I wasn't sure if shuffy would allow me to express my personal sadness. I thought it was the best way to show it. Glad you like it Pete and good to see the 900 in print at last. Looks great and thanks for sharing it with us.

[Jan (Belgium)]

Mine arrived yesterday, together with a christmas card.
It looks stunning, thank you very much

Looking forward to the 2012 version :)

Jan,

[S4Rs MacK]

Woohoo, got mine today. Albie and Shuffy what a brilliant job you made of it. Wondered how you could top last years but you did. May have something to do with my baby being featured....thanks very much.
And thank you to Albie and Caroline for the Xmas card too.
I would like to wish all members of the UKMOC and their families the very best for the festive season and 2011.

[Paranoid Dave]

Mine are in the envelope behind a chair in the study, next to last years. Maybe I'll actually hang it up this year?

[LouSCannon]

Calendar received today, thanks Albie, looks the dogs.

And this year I get to hang it where I want too, so it has pride of place in the kitchen!

[samieb]

Seeing that yours has arrived today Jim, Hopefully mine has too. Won't know though till I've finished work..

I am very proud as always Jen.I wanted your bike in there last year. The reason you got a page was because its a beautiful example of simplistic awesomeness.

Caroline would like to also say thank you for thinking she's worthy of helping but really its just me and Shuffy. She just puts up with my moods and worries.

The other persons involved are The Calendar Printers who again did a sterling print job so please dont be afraid to use them direct for stuff. They are based in Reading btw.

[chris yeatman]

[Char]
