General Discussion / Re: Termie termite

Well, flip me Termie - give a man a heart attack won't you?!?

I am probably the last person in the CA world to know about this, as I've been off the grid a bit since changing jobs and emigrating a while back.  Last saw you at Le Mans in '07, so it's been a while.

So glad that you're able to make it to the race this year... Let's hope it's a goodun!

Best wishes,

Patrick (aka Papa Lazarou)

Pig Pen- went to see the Macc Lads for my mates 18th many moons ago in Leeds. Thought they were quite good but was always a Half Man Half Biscuit fan myself. Very clever, very funny, very much of a time. Trumpton Riots is a great album, must dig it out. 

Half Man Half Biscuit!  Pure class!

Seal Clubbing and Dukla Prague Away Kit are my personal favourites...

Brooklands Green MG Midget followed by a Riviera Silver Blue" MGC GT - 3 litres of straight-six gorgeousness, but a shed underneath...

Well, I have a mysterious travelloing circus and am looking for Dave...

Actually, I'm Patrick, and had been watching The League Of Gentlemen at the time...






You're my wife now!

Flame grilled whopper anyone? (Sorry)


I particularly like the 2nd car that comes along and just drives on through as if nothing happened... At least the first one to come stopped (eventually...)

Superb, as I've said elsewhere...

SWMBO was worried that her college work may be in jeapordy when I started printing it, so I had to stop halfway through and order more ink from fleabay!

Woo! Yay! and indeed Houpla! to Werner and everyone else involved!

Top effort guys.  Thanks a million.

Thanks,

Patrick.

Crikey... I'm nervous enough about getting everything sorted for this years race.

Now I'm nervous about next years too!  What are you trying to do to me?  Give me a heart attack to get your hands on my Bleu ticket? (as if...)

I've got to go for a lie down now...

Well, we actually use quite a bit of dry ice at work for, wait for it, keeping things cold...

Apart from the obvious "oh damnation, it's stuck to my hand" and "I feel like I'm suffocating, oh I am suffocating" problems with it, it's great.  Not really a goer for Le Mans though, because as BigH said, where would we get it, and I'm not going to try to sneak a bootful of the stuff out of work and onto an overnight ferry!  I can see me trying to start my car and finding that my petrol's frozen and I have a colony of emporere penguins living on the back seat of the Celica.  So, I think it may be a combination of a bucket of salty iced water, the Stella bar, and the often over-looked "where's the nearest CA flag - I'll scrounge a cold one over there" method.

See you here.  I'll be the one with my hands covered in freezer burns...

In a blatant nick from another poplier site, but it made me laugh anyway!

I'm thinking of the dry ice route - apart from the obvious hazards of handling the stuff...
