I don't think that it was a good as the last one but it sure was funny. I am wondering what the spruiker from Boarders Book store is thinking.
The lady standing beside me was almost crying with laughter.
Roll on the next one. :lol: :lol:

I wasn't there for this one, but now I've seen the photos at http://www.adsy.net/thunderbirds/tbirdindex.htm I wish I had been... <br><br>There are good close-ups of Eco-Dave doing his best impression of Virgil Tracey in the third and fourth photos... <br><br>Where was Eco-Nic? She would have made a very good Lady Penelope :-)

Oh... and I spy SNIFTER in picture number 6

Our first mobbing, and what a hoot it was!
For a split second there I thought we'd be the only ones silly enough do it, but a second later there were 100+ people who came out of nowhere. Amazing!
Being a HUGE thunderbirds fan, this one was awesome!

Definitely recommended, even if you just turn up to watch.

It went very well.

It also revealed the true identities of EcoTeam to be none other than that of Virgil and Penelope from ThunderBirds. Full details and photos at:

Virgil??, you gotta be kidding.
I'm Scott in Thunderbird 1!

Bonus points for those who know what FAB stands for, and for what type of craft Thunderbird 6 is!

Give that man three quaters of a cigar!
Gerry Anderson has said that FAB came from "fabulous" (popular at the time apparently), and they shortened it to mean "message received and understood". But (coincidently or not) FAB is also an acronym used in radio, meaning... anyone...???

We'll be doing Tigersnake canyon this Sat, so can't make it.

If they all continue to be in the city, then I'm afraid I won't be going to many more. Parramatta would be nice!
