We have another starter for the Rocks run. :wav:

I talked to Howie Henderson (username Hendo) from the 14th Intake last night and he indicated that he will be there for the weekend. In fact I invited the lucky bastard to share my room in the Hyde Park Inn. I figured if Seejay and Shep can shack up together, then I can put up with Howie's snoring. :zzz:

So you can add another starter to the list Tricky. :thumbright:

Now less than 4 days to go (3 days to the Friday Run Practice), and to show you Mexicans how committed I am, I'll even start the run an hour ahead of real time. ( You know, the time you lot will return to after five or six months of telling yourselves that daylight saving is a good thing).

Bloody fantastic. :wav:

I cant wait to have a few drinks with the wimps like Shep and Seejay, then watch them turn into blithering idiots. After that, a little raping, pillaging, culture and goodwill spreading, then we might have a bit of a drink with the real Sailors.

It's such a shame that a couple of my best non MOBI acquaintances, Buck and Dino, will be flopping around like untrained seals, still trying to keep up with "the big boys"

Oh well, I suppose it will be just another run, just another fond memory, just another surreal experience, just another carry the sprogs home exercise, just another disappointment for the local virgins.. No change, just the year.

Shit, I can hardly wait. :drinkers: :rock: :occasion9: :occasion7: :occasion5: :director: :3some: :zzz:
