Blimey, it's getting all exciting...

I'm nearly done now, and hope you guys are getting there too, I've even given the car a polish. In a direct contradiction to BMW's research, the Jaguar handbook of 1958 says that final buffing is best done with the pubic hairs of a virgin, and I must say it's scrubbed up rather well. The spec is a bit vague when it gets around to the virgin bit though. I mean, I'm sure the old spinstery woman who checks my books out at the village library is a virgin, but there's no way I'm going down there with a pair of shears, even with Saveloys library card. Fortunately, cleaning the chrome work is a little more straightforward. I can't wait to sneak my b*llocks out of my shorts and rest them on the leather squabs (tip: if you ever do this, and you should, don't do it if the car's been parked in the sun for an hour or two, all hell breaks loose and quite frankly the explanations at Casualty cut no mustard)
The chilli is prepared and in the freezer, all 20 litres of it. I heard from Kate Knockers on the local travel bullettin that the mushroom cloud where my kitchen used to be is visible from Berkshire.
My piles have been behaving themselves pretty well recently, and although they could be trying the old 'false sense of security' trick, I'm confident that only a litre of my Preparation H, Anusol, morphine and Red Bonnet Pepper cocktail will suffice. Anyway, if I've any left over, I can put it in the chilli.
Ooooh, I can't wait. Brian, Ian, Chris, and anyone else leaving soon, have a good journey.
H

I have merged various farewell threads into this one otherwise the rest of the board becomes a nightmare for people to keep up with. Please leave your farewell messages (and responses) in this thread.

btw....farewell!!! As I am off at 7 am tomorrow, an early night is called for.

The forums here have provided us all with hours of pleasure and anticipation, please look after them while I am away.

Everyone have a safe journey and a great le Mans - I know I will. I am looking forward to seeing plenty of old and new faces a week tonight...if not before!!

Byeeeeee......

Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people

Whilst packing, my thoughts again turned to virgins:

Don't pack anything half decent, put all the gear you were going to take down to the charity shop in your travel bag.

I recall one year thinking: I'm grown up now, I have a sense of pride in my appearance, and maybe the sartorial humiliation of a set of grubby t-shirts and soiled shorts is something I can put behind me, and call the case closed. So I packed some natty and expensive shirts, designer shorts and some Man About Town Tropical Wear. Complete with designer sunglasses, some lovely leather loafers and a rakish hat I had the intention of strolling around lazily and looking like a man who'd arrived.

After two days I looked like a cross between Catweazel and Worzal Gummidge after experimenting with gorillas, strong cider and a threshing machine. It was not a pretty sight. In my stupor, I still thought I looked pretty good however, and was flattered to catch the attention of a couple of ladies near the station. It was pointed out later that one looked remarkably like Iggy Pop, and her mate was uglier than a lynch mob.

In summary, you're going to look pretty rough by Sunday, so you might as well start off that way. A night in a ditch is a great leveller.

Harper dudes! - when are you flying?
