Great piccies m8, especially the morning after shots, funny how Pedrico wakes up with his mobile in his hand BTW, whose is the pink pillow
I think the only person with erection problems this weekend was Banshi, as he had trouble getting his tent and "luxury" air bed UP

Great trip, totally bolloxed now.......roll on next year, France/Germany you've gotta be kiddin!!!!!

Cheeky sod

At my age everythings hard. Its hard to remember things, hard to stay awake in the afternoon, hard to get to the bathroom in time hard to ....
Hard to.. erm what was I saying???

Oh yes I remember, why did it take less time to erect the tent than to get you out of the shower?
That magazine of yours got waterproof pages

Aha, photographic evidence of the Evo being overtaken by a Skoda, now if we can just photoshop some nice welsh scenery in, make it look heroic, then we'll be sorted.

Great weekend all, great pics Mellow.

As Richard said "why are all the sheer drops on the passenger side" Following you down to Devils Bridge the oohs, ahs and repeated sharp intakes of breath convinced me I should get Shirley to sign up for the voiceover on a **** movie

BTW Realised why I couldn't get your attention. Flashing the lights when running mainbeam in the daytime is not the most effective means of communication

Well Richard wasn't entirely correct as there were a suitable number of sheer drops on the DRIVER'S side too which caused me to have a few unwted vertigo moments.......

nah, it was the drops *in front* of the car that were most interesting. Some of the downhill sections were fantastic, even if it made overtaking a little difficult at times.

Fantastic pics Mellow.

Good bylines too. After our 'conflab' we decided you were all no-hopers. We maintained a serious interest in helping them out for about a second, before collapsing in hysterics...Heather was first to go.

As for that last pic, yuck, I feel sick. I actually ate that the night before
Seriously, it was delicious, ta chef.

I guess that depends on how many green A-class/Scenics are coming in the other direction

MELLOW! is this now war. i know the birmingham broad street bash sent u home earlier (it wasn't just me!!!!) than expected but i will now have to retaliate!

cheers all for the organisation. i think we all take for granted the time and effort it takes for a couple of days fun! and yes it took all of 15 mins for me to decide drinks and mellow to make the large lady feel good!

ta ta for now i will provisionally set a date for jongleurs comedy and **** up at my new gaff on broad st - 7th december 2002 - a night to remember.

DaveD,

ya cheekey monkey

I have over 60 pictures to post, but this morning i managed to drop an 9*9*18 inch solid concrete block on my finger, so i don't have the required dexterity to process them.

But rest assured, all will be revealed - including your 52nd birthday cake

Cheers,

mb
