Right ...
Getting ready to book people carrier for our little sojourn down to Bristol.
But I need two things:
1) Any people who would like to hitch a ride. We'll be setting off from Leeds on the Friday morning and returning late on the Sunday. It'll be a hoot, promise!! Just let us know where you are and we'll work out how to get to you - all we ask for is sharing cost of the vehicle and the petrol ...
2) I need EVERYONE who's already agreed to come along to LET ME KNOW!!! My sieve-like memory means, as far as I know, only the following are coming along:
Me
Paul Scott
Bart Diaz
Ben Clark
Generally Contrary (on the way back)
If there is ANYONE I HAVE FORGOTTEN THEN PLEASE let me know!!!!
We'd love to get more recruits - if we got another four then we could afford a minibus and that would be better all round ... but e-mail or let me know here ASAP before I book the damn thing!!!

I ought to be coming - except the following situation might scupper my visit to Bristol:
My brother plays scrum-half for Yorkshire. On Saturday they play Devon or Cornwall in the County Championship semi-final. If they win they will play in the final at Twickenham. On the Bristol Saturday. In which case, all fine and dandy - I'll be able to go to Comics 2004 on the Sunday and I'll still need a lift up to Yorkshire on the Sunday evening. But, if they do make Twickenham then my Dad has suggested he might come to watch. From Hong Kong. Which is quite a big thing, probably trumping Comics 2004 for what to do on Sunday.
But it's more complicated than that. My brother is not playing for Yorkshire on Saturday - he has to play in a promotion play-off game. Then he has to play in the Yorkshire Cup final on Wednesday. Which all means - he might get injured, or banned, or his replacement in the Yorkshire team might play too well and displace him in the Twickenham squad. Or Yorkshire might lose, of course.
Bah! Which all means my attendence at Bristol is suddenly up in the air.
Drop me a e-mail, Mike.
Andy.

Not so wise- he's giving a lift to Yeti-paws-Wilkinson instead.

lol.. reminds me of something i said earlier...
someone said they are trying to reclassify middle age from 45-55 (they already raised it from 40-45 which means we'll all live 90 years apparently.... yeah right).
Anyway, now they want us all to live to 110.
My response ... f**k that, i want my rest long before that.

Ten years of sleeping knees

So don't complain that...
