I'll keep an eye out for you Dave - will you be carrying a carnation?
Or is it best ironed SL t-shirts to be worn?

[Foxybass]

No carnation or SL t-shirt; I'll be the one with the bald head, silly beard and a pint of guinness with my daughter asking why I'm not doing what those big men are doing.

[Mouse]

I'll keep an eye out for you then

[markg]

Just got back off hols. Pretty packed weekend lined up as well so not sure if I can squeeze it in yet.

Little Mouse meets Jimmy Marku



What a great guy. Spent a couple of minutes chatting to him after he had finished the stones.
He was more than happy to chat to the spectators as were all of the guys.
