Friday
I apologise to all my readers for the lack of a posting for a week now. This has been due to the fact that I have not been able to access internet and my own machine has lost a necessary lead. I will be returning home this weekend and will file a full catch up on Monday – all being well!
In the meantime I am pleased to let you know that we finished Ok and better than that, that we also received a trophy – more details in the next blog!!

Hope Rannoch is going well. Shell awaits my arrival, apparently. Bob here Friday! Great

Hello boys, what a pleasure knowing you both on the Grand Tour, and what an achievement! I recall your expressions when I announced to everyone that you had been awarded the ’spirit of the rally’ trophy. I think it was the first time for a week that you didn’t know what to say.
Best wishes, and I hope to see you again.

Les: How very kind of you. Dave, especially wilkl appreciate your kind words:
(insert suitable limer isk here: “There was a young man called Dave”, etc. – please complete”).
However, i have very sad news for you….. I have decided not to retire completely and hope to be taking part in C2C 2008………but as a marshal – “to the woods, to the woods”, ” mymother won’t like it”, ” your mother is not getting it!!!” Remember to zip up at the finish next time!
Sure the trophy will have pide of place on the Welford fireplace, as I recover and catch-up on m y sleep!
Great to meet yourself and Derek. Count me in for the marshalling team next year – much less stressful, as people are dleighted to see you.
Yours aye

Who’s Derek? Do you mean Geoff? Jeez, some people have no memory. What’s your name again?
‘To the woods.’
‘Anything but that.’
‘Anything?’
‘To the woods.’
‘My dad said that I can’t go out with you anymore because you are a paedophile.’
‘That’s a f*****g big word for a six-year-old!!!’
Seriously, it would be good to have you on board on the next one, whether as a marshal or a competitor.
There was a young? man called Dave
Who shagged a dead whore in a cave.
Oh what rotten luck
To have a cold f**k
But think of the money he saved.

Les and Geoff (aka Derek – not the real ‘Fifer’, Derek Allan – the geologist who captured all the Burren info for us and put it on the blog):
Count me in for next year – I’m too slow for Dave “The Tour” Rae now.
Warmest regards, yours aye,
Jim
