Just thought I'd point out that while I'm still at work for another two days, the lucky bastards that are team JPC and the rest of the Pompey-Caen ferry should be arriving on MB about now.
:'( :'( :'(
Oh well, see you all on thursday or saturday at the very least.
:D :D :D

Early reports from Saveloy, after making 'one small lunge for mankind', is that it was bleedin' freezin' last night. I think they call it 'taters' round these parts.
He described himself sitting in his tent with three layers of clothing and bobble hat, huddled round a candle.
I couldn't help getting a mental picture of some sort of deranged Bob Cratchet talking to himself and eating unlucky moths and other insects...

Wotcher BH,
Managed a smashing Puligny Montrachet last night, and I promised to be on the wagon for at least 24 hours before LM. It's just not natural, is it?

I know what you mean BigH.
Had a very pleasnt Vino Nobile di Montepuciano 1999 Riserva last night myself with a little help ("I have never known a miserly wine lover"). Now do I go for a practise run of a few beers tonight or ...........
Still working, but not as hard as I was this morning.

5pm Wednesday leave work - 6am Thursday head for LM. I've been absolutley useless at work this week. I wish people wouldn't keep interupting while I'm checking breakdown cover, insurance, routes, checking certain websites and weather.com
Perhaps on Wednesday I'll park my car at an angle and then sprint across the road at 5pm? Should I make it 4pm to be authentic? Will anyone understand if I do?
