The Home Guard Thread

[Lazy B'stard]

I suppose it's time to start the Home Guard Thread for all the folks staying at home this year. A place to pop in whilst watching on TV or listening in on RLM. It has it's benefits, the beer is colder and the toilets are ( or should be ) cleaner, but staying at home does lack the atmosphere we all love so much. So this is the place to try and make the most of it.

First off a few bits and pieces to try and make your home viewing more enjoyable. Most of this is in the excellent CA Guide so if you have not downloaded it yet, do so...and don't forget to pop a few quid/euro in the hat to support this years worthy charities.

Well I got the Reblochon last night to make a huge tartiflette with, we still have tinned snails from 2006 (sell-by date 2010 - they'll be fine) and I'll be getting some frog's legs tonight from the local Chinese cash & carry.  Currently searching for merguez and any purveyors of freshly slaughtered horse

Completely and utterly distraught at missing another year now that the cars are just hours away from hitting the track 

A text has just been sent to the Liverpool boys who are there now to book my tent space for next year.

It's working fine on my IPhone.

Go to RLM and click on 'listen live' in the left hand side bar and it should work.
