I have to say that it was a *NIGHTMARE* setting up ... Things were not
supposed to kick off until 12 and there was supposed to be two clear hours
to set up before that yet by 10:30 I was already having to try to set up

The bet between Fishy, me and TB was that it all had to go - even the salad
- only the bones and corn cob husks were allowed to remain.

TB proved himself a complete girlie wuss by not getting much more than a

went on to the ice cream dessert.

I was also drinking too ... ;-)=20

There'll be a Scottish UKHA meet before then to look forward too - another
excuse for a weekend away from the wife and DS methinks...
