We've got the flags up in the garden....Union flag, French Flag, Flying Pig Racing and Club Arnage, the beer is chilling and we'll "do" LM from the sofa...maybe next year...

I have to cheese, beer, wine, meat and cigars bought. I pick up the bread on Friday. We have the 13th annual "Breakfast at Le Mans" party at my house that begins at 8:30am and continues until you can't take it anymore. Then we go fishing or bar hopping and return for the overnight slog drinking Irish whiskey and/or Kentucky Bourbon. The door is always open, the beer is always cold, there is food in the fridge and the 60" TV is always on. come and go as you like...no drinking and driving though...
Let The Games begin!

Eurosport had the qualifying. They were asked a question about how many cameras they have out on track. Answer was none during qualifying - "although it's not quite Liverpool, we don't want to put out expensive HD cabling and equipment before Saturday..."
Shall we tell them that Liverpool is coming to France Brian?

Budge up and make room for a little one. It wasn't looking good for this year anyhow although I booked flights and trains at the weekend to head down on Friday. I thought I would be able to get down for a quick weekend break if nothing else, but a wee accident on Tuesday buggered that up. As a result I have an stired up an old injury to my back. A trapped nerve sent the whole lot into spasm and I've torn some muscles. I spent most of yesterday morning getting x-rays to make sure nothing is broken. I'm now at home with lots of happy drugs. I half watched last nights qualifying session in a bit of a daze, and hope to watch the rest of the race whilst laying on the floor.
Kinda gutted but I was almost resigned to it not happening anyway.

Here is another home guard since I am saving up for the IoM TT in 2014. If you lads and lassies like, you may want to join in at the ten tenth chatroom throughout the Le Mans week. We are a friendly bunch of chatters who all share the passion for the 24h as well. You can find it at http://www.ten-tenths.com/chat/index.php , just make sure you enter a username and come visit us. The sites irc web client is a bit lazy at times so I'd recommend using an irc client software like mirc, chatzilla, icechat or joining through browser based clients like mibbit. By using mibbit you can join directly through the following link: http://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.phishy.net&channel=%23motorsportWith classic software clients the adress is: URL: irc://irc.phishy.net/ channel: #motorsport port: 6667 See you there. Greets, Andy  |

I should get me a red flag and raise that one in honour of red flags I only can hope we don't get to see a N24 2013 style red flag period throughout the LM24  Hmm, got enough vanilla pudding, drinks and tea. I should get me some food today. On the other hand, I got enough strawberries to survive a weekend too  ... Strawberry milk soon  ... I guess, I will end up with with the mad dash to the supermarket between the legends race and pre-race like last year haha |

After work Sat. will be camped out on a bar stool at the pub, wearing my Bretheren shirt (which will be a big hit with the local ex-pats). To bad they don't stock any crummy French beer though. Get up Sunday morning and fix a big FEB for the last few hours. The wife's in Detroit for a wedding, so it's a bachelor weekend for me.
