How the hell do I deal with the withdrawal symptoms of not making Le Mans this year? Just been watching bits of the 8 heures du castellet and realised how sh*t it will be to be stuck at home in June!

Send the family away for a long weekend  
Invite mates around and pitch tents in garden, marquee and flag pole.
Buy loads of stubbies and get plenty of coal for the BBQ and french stick and cheese and any other crap food you can lay your hands on.
Plenty of beer and scotch, lack of sleep loud music
Motors TV or Eurosport

Nearly there........ I'm sure there will be others to add to the simulation
Stay well Mike

Nice one Andy, I feel inspired, I think I will camp out that weekend (in the back garden) and have a bit of a LM party. I had better book the monday off work as well. It will give me a chance to air the tent prior to the Classic, and make sure that the mice have not got to it, and if they have I will not be buying a throwy tent thing, there are a few standards that should be adhered to. Just wondering how much TV cabling I have got...

invite loads of mates around have lots of beer and big plate of chilli loaded with laxative, fit a timer lock on your bog set at say 20 mins, then all form a line, first to sh*t themselves buys the following days beer

All of those sound like superb ideas,not so sure about people shi**ing their pants in the house though.

Perhaps next door could keep a genny running all weekend.

If you ask nicely they may also let off a huge firework at 03:00 Sat morning after playing ABBA's greatest hits at volume 11 up till then.

Do all their kids have motorized scooters? If not get them some.

Oh, and don't forget the best of UB40 CD for Sat night

Change your mind, book a ferry and get over to Le Sarthe, even if it's a Friday to Sunday night flying visit.

Hmmmmmm!!!! I could tell her im off to work in Kent again for a few days............... 

Nah,i'd never get away with it 

The thought had crossed my mind if I had been back on the Ashford job again on race weekend to shoot across on the chunnel on friday and back sunday night but she'd find out at some point then it would be safer just to stay in France

Got it.
Get some of your local mates to kidnap you for the weekend, make a big fuss and send her pictures of you bound and gagged, then get them to take you to France. Then when she does not pay the £50,000 ransom, it's her fault and she will feel guilty! Of course, when she see's the bank statements with withdraws from France you can say that you had to bribe them to stop beating you and that it was a cunning plan to buy time whilst planning your escape. Your escape came about after being abducted by Aliens who landed at Le Mans Airfield under the cover of the race and the fireworks. They then subjected you to an unrepeatable invasive examination but rejected you as an adequate sound specimen due to liver poisoning, and just happened to drop you back to earth at the end of your street on the Monday after the race.
I have to say that I don't think my wife would buy it, but the utter Bollo*ks value might avert some of the blows.
Hope this helps.

slight flaw in the argument might be if she says "keep him".....

Save money, is Le Mans not closer to Ashford than home in Scotland?

Well it is on my map

The job Im working on when im needed in Kent is 13 miles from Folkstone 

Its VERY tempting but if I went to France id have to take her on some boring holiday after that to keep the peace
