Blimey Scottie - get it off your chest mate. 

Agree what you say about being overdosed on the Audi win. I can't take away their military precise campaign but would have liked to see somebody give them a run for the money.

I think you and me might be Classic virgins next year - pity I can't mobilise and go this year.

Stay Cool

Guys

Sadly I'll miss being there this year too ( working my Notice and finishing for good at the end of the month ).

Will however watch EuroSport coverage and of course have Radio LeMans up loud. Tent pitched in my sons back garden, Merguez ready for the BBQ and stubbies cooling off.

Just missing the old CA - remember the famous Merde storys and the 'Girls Girls Girls - OPEN WITH CAUTION AT WORK' thread. The last post was 13th November 2009.

Bring us back some good memories for those that can't join you.

Stay Cool

Yes - but its a bit so-so now and you have to go away from the front to get a good meal now.

We used to eat at the Broche d'Argent on the way home and spend-up using the maximum amount of euros having a slap-up sea-food meal, the one that comes on a multi-storey dish with crabs, moules - in fact the lot. The patron was especially good - you'd ask for more wine / frites or bread, he'd ignore you, you'd ask a waitress about 10 mins later and they would both turn up with the food and pop.

Lots of moules and buckets full of muscadet - its wonder we could get back to the boat.

Last year we arrived ( it was a Bank Holiday Monday I think ? ) and everywhere was closed except the good old Broche, and its now been turned into a Pizza emporter, so it was the old steak and chips on the boat.

My recommendation is a place halfway down the LHS of the Rue LeClerc. It became a strong favourite, and if you keep your head down, you can see its the favourite for the Boys in Blue who eat in a back room. That suggests it must be good if the locals favour it.

Keep rocking...

A man approaches a tasty young woman in a shop.

He says "I can’t find my wife, can I talk to you for a few minutes"?

The woman says "Sure but do you have any idea where your wife is"?

".....Not a clue, but whenever I talk to a woman with t!ts like yours she appears out of nowhere"!

Its about some guys wanting to rob the ticket office while everybody else is watching the race.

Even the babes in the office thought it retro cool and I suddenly had a new 'respectability' after pointing them to it. Now I don't have to try to explain why I wear that stuff.

Slightly tenous YouTube link.......here is the introduction

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxGA68B8BjM


The link for the main video is below ----- ENJOY BOYS!!
Fleggaard Holding A/S, through its subsidiaries, markets electronic appliances.
The company specializes in selling televisions and radio sets. 
Fleggaard Holding is based in Krusaa, Denmark.
Just across Germany's northern-most border with Denmark you’ll find an incredible superstore called Fleggaard.  There, you can buy everything you need – tubs of gummi bears, cases of wine, industrial strength dishwashing soap – at prices 30% cheaper than you’ll find in Denmark.
It is Denmark's Costco, packaged as a German loophole.

         

The 100+ women do stunts in the air – while free-falling – holding hands to spell out “Half-off on Dishwasher soap at Fleggaard.”  You’d be hard-pressed to find a man in Denmark who hasn’t seen and fallen in love with that commercial.  It was geared strictly to men.  The ad is real!

Here is the link

Guys / Brad

Best wishes to the old fella, hope he gets well soon. I don't know him in person but he has given me hours of laughs on CA so a speedy return is expected!

The dreaded button reminds me of the time I went to see my old man after his pioneering triple in Leicester where it was a very new op, many years ago, and he was in bed, things beeping around him, swathed in bandages and drippy things and I sat next to him on visitors chair when my eyes rested on the patient / bed table. I'll describe it for those not familiar - its has a single telescopic support with a table top that cantilevers over the bed, while the base is on castors and tucks neatly under the bed out of the way. Its height adjustable by a friction screw which you turn by hand on the upright support. Anyhow, on the table was the usual clutter, glasses, magazines, tissues, bowl of fruit, glass and a full water jug - in total quite a bit of weight. Can you see what was coming ?

I thought it would be fun to very gradually release this friction screw and see if I could exactly match the grip with the weight so that it very slowly descended a few inches. Oh No !. The combined weight of all these objects suddenly overcame the friction in the stand, everything shot down, I made a grab to get what I could and the whole lot went in the air before coming to rest on the bed and floor with water everywhere. The old man gave me one of those fierce looks - but it could have been far worse cos the fright nearly killed me !

Funny that, me dad never seemed to trust me after that so advice is .....

Don't touch any CPR buttons !.

The obvious.....


An American tourist asks an Irish fisherman: "Why do Scuba Divers always
fall backwards off their boats into the water?"

To which the Irishman replies: "If dey fell forwards they'd still be in
the fookin' boat."

Ha .. at last a funny thread.... They cant drink properly anyway and their beer is sh*t! I suggest an English Stella promotion with lots of free samples. Chaos!
Possibly followed by a Jagermiester testing....

 

Guys

Sorry to put a dampener on this thread but exactly 6 months ago ( 8th Oct ) my Mrs was suddenly given 24 hours to live after diagnosis of immediate liver failure and she certainly didn't go at like these guys. No notice, no warning, nothing to tell me I would be looking for a new partner now. No spirits just a regular tipple of Vermouth watching tele.

This was on the news last night so not the only one.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/8293651.stm

So you guys will understand that I'll probably be in the mood to slip one or two down tomorrow.

Stay cool but don't be daft.

Thank goodness the old CA is getting back to normal.

All we need now is a few Merde stories from Team Shitty Socks and we will have arrived.
