Jane, will you too be making the trip to our nation's capital to watch your beloved Bees?
Matt.
I was really hoping to Matt, but the head gasket thing in my car needs something doing to it urgently and it's going to cost all my limbs and more... And to be honest, it's so long since I've been to Plainmoor, when I get some spare cash I will come and watch my beloved Gulls. Obviously if a) my lotto numbers come up or b) a rich benefactor takes pity on me after reading this and donates a new Freelander to me, I shall be delighted to go and watch Bees - I am so chuffed they've got there <bounce bounce smilie>
If only Victorian Britain had left over some sort of relic, a legacy if you will, which would allow the masses to travel beyond the range of their horses. Big, iron contraptions, powered by steam which could which the occupants a great distance with relative alacrity... Hmmm, if only.
Seriously though, that's a shame. Make sure it is the HG gone on your car. I had an AA man spend about 9 seconds looking at a former carriage of mine and diagnosed a fecked HG. Took it to a local Fred in a shed and he swapped the knackered engine cooling fan fuse for a working one, I gave him 25p and drove home. In these days of unleaded fuel and high precision mass manufacturing techniques, you normally have to either drive to the moon and back, or like a knob to do over a head gasket (well, that's my understanding anyway, perhaps too much faith in modern engineering)

knowing a few frequenters of Griffin Park, i couldn't possibly show my face there i'm afraid !!! i might be tempted to meet some of them for a beer before (and after) the JPT Final, but i couldn't possibly bring myself to don the red & white through fear of being mistaken for another certain team !!

My lil LaRo has done 130k so not quite to the moon, and I rarely exceed the speed limit, as you know having followed me back from Weymarf =D . I did have a Corsa 1.4 S-something at the weekend and did 85 (until I spotted the speedo and swiftly took my foot off the go faster pedal.)
Anyways, LaRo is now with the mechanic and I am having to rely on public transport - there may be a rant on the rant thread later.
Sorry Brady, hijacked your welcome thread. Hope you join in celebration drinks with your Bees chums after the final :~D
Crate of Magners, wander round to Janes and let her cook you some of her famous bacon sarnies, awesome. Then laugh as she sinks a few only to start talking utter **********
