While everyone else is sat in the garden ...............

............. having a BBQ and drinking cold beer.

Guess what's happening in the world of H4H Rally prep .........................


One of today's jobs was chasing an errant pidgeon out of the workshop - harder than any of the other jobs done

Well it was fun,and took our minds off other problems

Been reading lots of posts about preparation and panic. No need for either at this stage.
That's what the Friday night before the start is for !

chasing an errant pidgeon Mmm - now that gives me an idea. Mission 7 Objective 3 needs a 'Task'; me thinks we've now found it

I'll bring the shotgun ............
Or the AK47

Whilst some sit in their gardens drinking beer watching the sausages burn, others have been erecting tents, discovering the cooker doesn't work, screwing down those loose bits, and trying to figure where to put the bottle jack, cutting 2 acres of grass, oh and do the washing and getting it hung out to dry. Not bad for a man

Now ............... that is a disaster

At least the fridge is working for those cold bottles of beer

Ah, yes, just forked out for a new comprssor fridge/freezer. Currently on test at an internal temp of -22, while out side is at 24.

With all this talk of tulips i thought id better do some research so i asked my mac navigator to explain.

He drew me some pictures.

Apparently tulips are fat stick men wearing dunces caps.

He suggested i drive???

Is that the tulips, or the tuplip designers

Mark - Can't find my pen: can you make a note re yet more penalty points for Car 40

I did a little research earlier, and apparently there is only one "black" tulip, so either our honourable and esteemed organisers are spending a fortune on the most expensive tulip there is, or and I pondered long and hard on this (all of 30 milli seconds), they are going colour blind and think all tulips only come in 1 colour

Henry Ford was my mentor; what colour would you like - black or black. Okay, black it is.

By the way Mark - that pen I can't find; it has black ink. I think!

Ponders on this Henry Ford mentality of 1 colour suiting all yep its called a Green and comes with an Oval badge

"cutting 2 acres of grass" , Richard you should have just put a couple of sheep on the grass problem solved, that is why God invented sheep.

I were sat on the beach......not panicing at all...cant seem to find anything to panic about....which really scares me!!! I fear I should be!!!

There is your answer, you should be panicing about not having anything to panic about. Or you could panic about no being able to remember if everything is done.

All my tulips seem to lead me to Amsterdam, however when following tulips you have to tiptoe. All part of the tread lightly campaign.

OK, I have the solution to the panic situation ..............

Lance-Corporal Jones, will be joining us from later this week, to keep Captain Mainwaring from panicing.

Don't Panic Capt. Mainwaring .............................

As long as the Captain isn't panicing, then none of the rest of us should have anything to worry of panic about.













However, it seems that Mr Jones, the butcher may well be joining us on the rally too.



Note, there are 5 deadly weapons mounted in the vehicle. Is that one for each of the Z cars should things get out of hand while we're finding our way around on our own campaign across Europe.

PANIC? PANIC? I d do not have time to panic as my wife if moving to our new house tomorrow, while the contents follow on Wednesday
I am going to try my new camping kit until the contracts are exchanged I have been so busy packing I have not had the time to panic but, to show solidarity with the other teams on Friday at 11:30 I will take a moment to panic for, say 30 seconds. OK?

Nothing like double packing for some it seems

How can such a small house have so much stuff in it My stuff for the rally took about 20 mins to pack , I haave spent the last 3 weeks packing everthing else, in between trips to the local tip and charity shops

an organised person I see, can pack for a rally in 20 minutes, that's impressive. Sounds a fraction more like, open door of the Green Oval thingy, and sling all required equipment it in, and worry about everything else later.
