Advice!

[Lord Steve]

The young fella isn't even mine but I appreciate your concern and kind advice all.
My lad's a newbie at his first Le Mans this year but.....he is 28 are more than capable of drinking his father under the table! Unbelievable but true!
He's the Tres Hombres entertainments officer this year which, if he's learnt anything from his dad, will involve not much more than lots of Led Zeppelin at volume. I've taught him well.

All Club Arnager's welcome to Tres Hombres central on MB at any time for drinks and olives!

Olives!! Yuk! They're very bad for the liver you know!

I'll get some other snackettes in for your delectation and delight Andy - what is your food specification?

I have to say (and I know that camping packages are available from other sources) but I dealt with Anne-Marie at Speedchills and was stunned by how helpful she was. Within minutes of receiving my email she had confirmed ferries, camping and GA tickets for three cars and six people. In addition to this they were cheaper than any other company I tried.
They have some limited availability left on MB and Houx so if anyone's still trying to find tickets get in touch with her.
Customer service par excellence!

Are you on MB Fran or in the cow sheds again?

[Fran]

Are you on MB Fran or in the cow sheds again?

I thought it was about time I tried MB for a change - so its my first 24hrs inside the perimeter fencing!  (I have done a couple of Classics on MB but thats a bit different)

I am with Team LazyB again - Martini, Sconey, Dutch Bas, etc (but don't expect to find me doing the washing up, despite what Martini says).

Delighted to hear it but who is Dutch Bas? The only Dutch Bas I know is resident on Houx with De Mannen de Le Mans. Can there be two Dutch Bas's?

[Fran]

who is Dutch Bas? .... Can there be two Dutch Bas's?

Its quite possible there are several.  Bas was with us Lazy B's at the Classic last year - always looked unnatually groomed for someone emerging from a tent!!

Well Bas is about as common as Steve here in Flatland, so there might be more than one.
Could have been me though as you've seen first hand how impeccably groomed I always emerge from the tent for social gatherings at our campsite. 

Anyway glad to hear the Tres (and a half) Hombres will be there, will make sure to stop over at MB and expect you (and yours) for drinks over on Houx sometime during the week.

BTW PM me a safe mail address where I can send you a DVD of last year's antics, you're in it more than once i saw.

What about it?   It's okay in an emergency I suppose, but I demand beef and will be most insulted if Lord Steve doesn't furnish me with the delectable corn snack that comes in a yellow bag with all monsters on the front and that.

Oh and f**k Flamin' Hot, horrible stuff. There will be big trouble if I turn up and he only has that filth and olives. I will go mental.

Bas - Sartorial elegance, with pinstriped under garments with a perfect ironed crease in them. His effort was only matched by my dedication to sit and do nothing.

BUT

I am now in training for this years coming, I have, this week, lasted for almost four days without a drink! All this so that if we have the heatwave as at this years Classic I will only be as exhausted as everyone else.

Next month I may get my bike out and March I may blow up the tyres...

This year I feel there will be a few challenges... 1. understanding Newcastle Dave after he has had a few sherberts, Sideways Andy is bad enough. 2. Tying Fran to a plastic washing up bowl so that she can fulfill her mission.

More updates on the training soon, must go and rest my RSI from all this typing... THEN off to the Club, WooHooo.
