Take you brollies and weatherproofs. weather.com reports wind & rain... Doesn't surprise me as Spa is never normal...

It was nice there today. Shame.

See you there - should arrive around lunchtime Saturday with JPC.

Boy, am I looking forward to going, just one more night and off we go!

A shame I had to work today, living so close to the circuit, but at least I got to read some science papers in the lovely sun. Bloody warm.

Bring on the wind and the cold and the rain and hail and snow for all I care, It is going to be a great weekend nonetheless

Greetings from sunny Spa media centre!  ;D  It is sunny at the mo, some rain earlier but very light. Did you see the DfH banner that replaced the Becks banner at Eau Rouge ;D

Have met up with Smokie, JP Chenet and half of Holland!  Also hgb and Werner... They were all last seen in the Paddock bar...... ;D


Title: Re: Off to Spa now...
Post by: Fran on May 14, 2006, 07:29:26 pm

Post by: knetter on May 14, 2006, 09:06:56 pm
The police came and took it off after about an hour or so, we were obstructing the becks sign and that was not allowed. Was good fun anyway, well worth the effort.

I had a text from JPC at 23.00 last night. He said he was in a bar in Leuven with Smokie and they were drinking draught Grimburgen. I told him it was utter madness, Grimburgen is pure evil in a glass and that no good could come of it. Well, I didn't get a reply and his phone was turned off this morning. I think we can assume the worst...  :(

that's the second night in a row then ;D

Andy, that seems to have a touch of deja vu, do you think they may have missed the ferry?

[quote paddy  -  I didn't, they played with me again   >:(]


Hm Paddy - not sure why you are complaining:-

1.  Cos you appear to have slept thru all the fun?
2.  Cos Redstu got the more interesting end  of the girl?
3.  You seem to have grass stains on your knees... and you dont remember how they got there?

Good to see you arent too old to party tho, after your recent birthday -  :P

Fran

 ;D

P.S.  Is the DfH guy standing at the bar being attacked by the Mysterons?  (cue SB Global Mod)

That was the start. This is how he ended up:

Fran, that would be me and I lived to tell the story ;D

It is our logo, it is reflective, as is the lion on the back. No normal pics of us after dark when flash is needed ;D

Hello all,

My first post at this forum. About time I registered here. I had a very nice weekend a Spa. Good to see some people again after a few months or more. And also met a couple new people that contributed to my Le Mans fever.

I see the pictures turned out very nice. Paddy's always in for a party :D My pictures will probably be at the DfH-site somewhere in the next days.


Title: Re: Off to Spa now...
Post by: Andy Zarse on May 15, 2006, 06:45:26 pm
Paddy you appear to be a trifle "over-refreshed".

I'm disappointed nobody saw fit to have a game of Human Buccaroo. This is where you keep adding household items onto the sleeping person. The one who wakes him up loses. It's not always possible...

There's no doubt that things were bad. JPC and I were playing these strange Belgian bagatelle machines (which looked like a pinball table but with no flippers) at great expense for many hours last night. Except he kept falling asleep sitting on his bar stool between balls. He got much better value for money than I did...

We surfaced today at about 10:30 (I think we got to bed at 4) and I've been back less than an hour. A great weekend...

We've just got back too. Fab weekend, will try to edit the video footage soon.  Please send bribes quickly if you don't want to appear  ;D ;D

Nobody can say we weren't there. Even the police saw the flag and was there to take it down on behalf of Beck's and the organisation.


Title: Re: Off to Spa now...
Post by: hgb on May 16, 2006, 08:20:42 am
What could have Becks against the DfH flag hanging there ? The DfH flag with the Becks logo shining through is the best advert they could possibly have. To be honest, I didn't understand the fuss.

I am not sure the later pics of Paddy in the bar with a box in his head are a very good advert for beer tho!!  ;D


Title: Re: Off to Spa now...
Post by: LangTall on May 16, 2006, 09:02:28 am
Even better, the pictures of Paddy in the bar were taken the night before we've put up the sign. ;D

Prolly because he wasn't drinking Becks it went wrong for him....

Post by: il Cavallino on May 16, 2006, 02:58:02 pm
I already posted some pics in the Girls thread. The rest of it will come online on Drinkingforholland.com somewhere this week I hope. But my study needs some attention now to if I want to go to Le Mans.
