The "I can't make it in 2006" thread

[Bob U]

Earlier this year we had "The David's Dad can't make it thread" so this thread is for all you poor unfortunate souls that can't make it in 2006.

Register your name here, and all messages of sympathy, condolence, gloating etc can be kept here and shared by you all.
 Just think how comforting they will be for you when you are stuck here in Blighty at a family wedding or other such trivial event while we are flying the flag and enjoying ourselves.

Thanks for reminding me Bob.   

I might have better luck in 06.

Double doses from those of us who are attending the Classic as well as the main event.

Hirsute or streamlined ?

Right that has decided me! New knee or no new knee I will be there. The surgeon advised me it was going to take a long time to get the strength back, but I'll be there hobbling up (down?) to the good old (new) 'poo bar...

I wonder whether the concessions will be in the same place in the new Village...

The disabled facilities could be marvellous - I'd keep this going for a few years.

One of our team had a knee op and we had visions of cases of beer under the seat of the wheelchair etc, but he recovered too quickly

ISTR Pidge was due to have yet another bit replaced before Sebring this year which would have impaired his mobility and cast the whole thing into doubt for him.

However the thought of missing Sebring caused a miraculous recovery.

Not sure yet.  Will need to see how the streamlined look suits me.  Wig is ready and waiting in case I look like a circus freak.

This thread will be for me then

[Bobblehat]

Whitey. If all goes to plan (strange phrasing I know! But if every thing goes right with Tom.... ) it will be you and me both!

But then again................................

I might get to The Classic tho

  :'(when I had my brush with death in Aug.04, 4X4 verses 1929 Matchless model X, I was on my way to a wedding, well her brother is getting married in 2006, June 2006, you guessed, she who must be obeyed said as I missed the last wedding, (and most of 2004) I had to go to this one, well I thought as there are four weekends in June I still had a fighting chance, BOLLOCKS, no Matchlesspat or moped boy next year, my first fail since 1986!!!!!!!!!!!

Heard today that one of our regulars, Techno tom, is expecting his first child on June 18th. The man has persuaded his sister in law to be his wifes birthing partner so that he can still come to Le Mans with the boys.
 I am not one accepting excuses for for not being able to make it every year but I will make allowences in this case and say this above and beyond the call of duty. It remains to be seen wether he sticks by his decision come June but if he does,  wow, even more partying.

My first baby was due the week after this years event, every time the missus phoned I thought the worst. Fortunately she hung on a was 2 weeks late wouldn't have missed it for the world (LM that is)

Ps. Don't tell the wife there is a car called a Lola, she will kill me if she found out we named our girl after a car.

LOL!!!    That's what I like to see - dedication to the cause!!!   Lola - one day you're going to be in BIG trouble.   Anyway,  I thought sex was banned around nine months before Le Mans

Thank god you're not into motorbikes.  The poor girl could be named Yamaha or Ducati.  I do know a boy called Vincent. Hmmm
