It is the same with every club<br /><br />My step father joined his local model railway club, he mentioned that the N was not showing at their local show, that the 00 gage was getting all the lime light. I comented about factions and old stick in the muds, and he was shocked that I had guessed all about it.<br /><br />In my kit car club, I'm somewhat of a faction, due to the fact I don't think a 1.6 8v fiesta engine is 'sporty', I have to go and do something daft like turbo charge a 2.0 zetec engine and shoe horn it in.<br /><br />The sad-idiots in the majority group will always try to cause trouble for a few people in the minority just to try and make themselves seem more acceptable to their beloved group.<br /><br />Rise above it, turn down the nighthood and become even more cool in the eyes of the normal people ;-)Matthew Wastellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378236893209736319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270262049510816407.post-84737602933272956502008-09-01T10:50:00.000-07:002008-09-01T10:50:00.000-07:00CAMRA is stuffed up with some really conceited and...CAMRA is stuffed up with some really conceited and self-centered individuals. And some who are genuinely interested in beers, ciders and perrys. But too many of the former, for whom a festival or meeting is enough excuse to act like an officious arse. Albeit some don't actually need to act...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387325466589229898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270262049510816407.post-23290923098513424662008-07-19T03:43:00.000-07:002008-07-19T03:43:00.000-07:00:-) Yep, have to agree, having seen it from the "i...:-) Yep, have to agree, having seen it from the "inside". It was nice to feel a VIP when one opened the letter though... at least it lasted until we arrived! Looking back, I still think the hangers-on who were squabbling over the free-beer was worse. Not a pretty sight!Ray and Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498248811652659816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270262049510816407.post-38785678018605339362008-07-16T15:19:00.000-07:002008-07-16T15:19:00.000-07:00Let's face it Ray, you're not VIP's are you.

Who'd want to be a VIP anyway? All that fawning and hero-worship, I'd be embarassed.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15595039296072668714noreply@blogger.com
