Re: Messageboard Jolly

You boys got a mention in the Argus this morning, something along the lines of 'Sussex message boarders travelling to watch all 4 days of the Northants game including one from Trinidad'...

Hope you have a good time fella's, weather looks good, look after Xian for me and make sure he stays out of trouble..  wink

Edit - I have just had an email from Northants saying the Phil 'the Power' Taylor is making an appearance there next Friday night. A certain chap that goes by the name of Slid absolutely loves Phil the Power, will he stay the extra night to meet his hero?!  lol

Not a chance. Once very badly bitten etc..

Anyway hope to drive down. In Mrs Kim's car.

Embarrassingly, it has adverts for her Psychic services emblazoned all over it  mad

Re: Messageboard Jolly

I see the volcano ash is causing problems again, it must make TC's plans look a bit jeopardised on Monday unless the wind changes direction.

Re: Messageboard Jolly

The advance party from Trinidad has arrived at the Langham and is very pleased with his accomodations...very surprised that I was expected and they knew my real name.

The wireless internet works and is free...I have been staying in a Marriot in London and internet was 15 pounds so hence radio silence.

There is an Indian restaurant a few doors down...unfortunately no map of Northampton because of an influx of foreign visitors.

Main "team "expectecd 9.30 tomorrow

Don't own a lap top so I'll be out for a beer and a curry although have to confess I'm a light weight drinker!

Looking forward to meeting up tomorrow.
