My original lanyard has gone brown! Worn out, which is weird because Lawnmower Man had it for about ten years before I even got it!

Tell me about it. It was this wretched design fault on the eponymous Comet and the “turning starboard” which caused me to skid and fall over in some sick (not mine). Never again.

Twenty cans of lager in a cool bag lobbed straight over the wall at the lower entrance. No bother at all.

The bowler hat is packed, let’s roll. See you on the dark side of the moon  🌓

What use is 1litre of beer? Bloody French.

Personally I take in one litre of fortified water* and cans of Coke to dilute it.



* may contain vodka

Naturally they cannot lay a finger on the thinking drinker. We either throw a coolbag over the wall or simply take in “fortified” water. 

Booo to this news. Was going to make a determined effort to see you guys and Mr S Brown this year. I've rocked up at your camp a few times and there's been nobody home.

Brad is driving this year. Hopefully Ian does a full "Chaplins Bar" on him on the way down. I'll pack a mop and bucket.

Not sure yet. Possibly. Or might be in the Leighla Jeep. Or something else. Still, really looking forward to a lazy drive down with you and Brad.

Zarses are, predictably enough, once again at Camp C'Arnage with Team Robbo. Pompey-Le Havre Tuesday night, off to Arromanche for some D-Day 75 action, we'll take a pleasant luncheon on the coast, and arrival at the BN vomitorium on Wednesday afternoon.

I am especially delighted to announce Chris Zarse (AKA C***y) is making a welcome return after a ten year hiatus, although he's travelling after work on Friday, on the Eurostar with a drunken Melan. They will arrive in a terrible state.

One of our lot can happily now attend. Unfortunately we are sailing on the Tuesday night which is too early for him. All rather last minute but ideally he needs a crossing and a ride down to Le Mans any time Thursday evening/Friday morning. He lives in Portsmouth so if anyone has had a gang member drop out please PM me. Obviously he will more than pay his way, and he's a good sort.

I'm dreadfully sorry to have to inform you all that Rex from The Brethren died yesterday.

I saw Rex in Sebring last week, he was the last person I said goodbye to as I left the curcuit on sunday lunchtime. He flew back on wednesday and went home. Details after this point are somewhat sketchy so I will not speculate further. It is fair to say there's a huge amount of shock, sadness and disbelief out there amongst his friends, from The Brethren and well beyond.

Beyond his obvious excesses, he was the kindest sweetest of men. Even when stratosperically refreshed he was never less than  a gentleman.

Funeral arrangements to be advised, all welcome.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Rolling

What flavour? 😀
