Brazil vs Argentina – Doha, Qatar, I didn’t go

I couldn’t make the game, just a little far to travel.

My brother and his wife, who live in Doha, went to the game and all I got was this picture :-(

He text me from the stadium and was more excited about the fact that last weeks Sheffield United game was being shown on the big screen outside the ground :-)

Pity the Argies won!

Scale Model World, Telford, UK. 13th Nov 2010

Hi,

Just had a great day out with my son Scott at the Scale Model World show in Telford. We went down last night and stayed in an hotel in Wolverhampton, I didn’t fancy the 200 miles and 4 hours driving in one day.

Some of the models on display were fantastic, wish I’d got the time to give it a go, perhaps I should pack in with the website design and become a professional model maker, cool :-)

Here are a few pictures that I took today, I’ve uploaded the others to Flickr if you would like to look, Scale Model World 2010 on Flickr.
