Dear all .

I'm very sorry to tell you all in this way, but last week, Wednesday 2nd April, Peter passed away from his long term cancer.

His funeral is on April. 23rd near to Christchurch, Dorset.

It will be a double funeral as his father passed away 3 days later!

I've spoken with diedre, whose asked me to let you all know. Anyone who wishes to attend is welcome, but she needs to know numbers for the catering afterwards.

The dress will be bright clothing.

All the best Robbo.

I still have the name of the company who made them ( somewhere in my dusty Le Mans box)

The peugeot is fast. Audi comes out the slip stream, and still cant get past on the straights.

The Eurosport coverage has been brilliant. I havent tried Radio LM. Just wish Eurosport was on freesat.

The audis are quicker on pits and slowly were getting ahead om tmings from the pugs.

See what happens in the morning.

Its shitty to be at home.

John Hindhaugh is doing the eurosport commenatary at the moment. He's cracking.

Great South Run. Race number 19383. Time by official timing 1:26:20. My gps showed it as 1:26:04. Raised nearly £700 for a great charity.

This is the link for my gps plotter.

thanks for the supporters today.

My recommeneded firm are very good, london based, always working, reply the same day, turn up when its convienient and then write to you monthly to tell you of progress.........

i'm guessing as our federation chose them, they are rather good. . . .

yeah. user error i'm affraid. i forgot to re-start after dog pooh number 1!!, hence the very straight line . .

The Norman arrow finishes summer service now, and due on the le havre crossing from April i was told. ( went to the port on a job )
It DOES take big stuff, but they charge more for using the fast boat.

Be VERY careful with LD lines. They are starting to upset people. Miss a sailing, and thats it, no moveing the booking etc. I was told by a manager " its in our terms and conditions"  . The poor man i was trying to help limped off back home as he couldnt afford to buy another trip !!

Shame really.

As for Poole Cherbourg - We found it much cheaper than Portsmouth, by nearly £200 per car a few years back . .

But...

Portsmouth's new ferry termianal should be open by next June . . bigger bar, more parking . . .
