Per ardua ad astra...

Anyone else getting excited yet..? Jen and I can't wait now... Hurry up Saturday morning..! Remember troops, if you're stressing about anything, put a smile on, think about what you're about to do, why you're doing it and who you're doing it for, then get stuck in and remember; Per ardua ad astra..! See you on Saturday troops. Fraze

Sounds fun can i join in

Mark, I formally declare that the Goal Post Hunting Season offically starts at 08:30 on the 16th June and runs until the 31st of August
All competitors Past and Present are invited to join for a small fee (donated to our Rally)

Cemtex packed along with detenators and chain saw as a back up, as I believe there could be more than 1 set of those movable objects. Last count there were 5 mobiles and 10 movers, but my spy plane is having trouble seeing through all that cloud cover you have up there in the UK

What you mean our normal glorious summer weather

Can deal with cloud as long as the rain stays away!

Excitement yes...panic a bit....in need of a beer on the ferry OH YES!!!

Asked around yesterday about mozzie repelants & the feedback i got was that they were all overpriced cr@p.
I have however managed to blag a pot of potion off 'er indoors ( or more accurately, 'er indoors' horse) which i have found to be excellent on bites & stings of all kinds in the past.

So for the horsey among you, check your tack room for a pot of 'Gold Label Wonder Gel'. It's damn good stuff.

It does say 'for animal external use' but it's been said that we are a bunch of animals so should be ok as i wasnt planning on spreading it on my toast!

According to my partner in crime , John, when we were at the H4H Convoy for Heroes this year both Tim and I snored so loudly he had to move out of his tent, which was pitched between mine and Tim's and sleep in his car .
I don't think this is true and I did not hear a thing
