The 'advance party' have arrived. JPC and Rick Cutler wobbled off a Virgin Atlantic 747 yesterday afternoon, having knocked a serious dent in their liquid hospitality. I collected them from the airport and as ordered, took them directly to my local bar. We 'relaxed' there until a phone call from a Dutchman advised us that there was a large group of thirsty, orange-clad gentlemen (and one lady) waiting at the hotel.
After a bit of a kerfuffle over the rooms, we went directly back to the pub, where we stayed until..... well, I'm not really sure how long we stayed, or how I got home - or what happened to my guests and new/old friends.
I have some blurry memories of last night.

I recall that all of the Netherlanders speak better English than I do. They are all polite, gracious, generous, humorous, considerate and an absolute joy to be in the company of. They all drink like bastards, which gave me great comfort.

Mark Every likes to sing in public.

Mark Every said he'd brought me some tea bags - but failed to hand them over.

Rick Cutler appeared to have scored with two (yes, two) hotties, who were staying at the same hotel and ended-up out on the piss with us.

I think I persuaded the group to go to Daytona Beach today to catch the tail-end of Bike Week, rather than wander amongst the inanimate phalluses at Kennedy Space Center. Time will tell if they heeded my advice. I am deeply worried that they will be back here again tonight - for a repeat performance.

My liver aches.

Hey Wishy
I sent you a PM.
Yes - I would be happy to join you for a couple of beers upon arrival tomorrow.
If you have a phone that works here (tri-band) call me when you get through immigration.
I'm guessing you've got a renter organized - which company?

Hours being counted down..........

Leaving at 5.30am ! - Think I give Wishy a ring as I'm going so he does not worry  ;D

For all those travelling later - have a safe trip, for those who can't make it we'll have a beer for you (How many members?)

I'm on the 11:15 Virgin from Gatwick South on Thursday  8) 8)

Doris is collecting me at 06:30, should be at the airport by 8ish all being well. I've completed the pre-check-in info, and have my seat reserved (up the back). I packed at the weekend but need to unpack and repack...case was 22.9kg which gives no scope for buying anything so I am trying to find a smaller case and pack into 2 cases.

I reckon there will be time for beer...  :)

Hi all,

get here as soon as you can. the race already started yesterday once cars turned wheels at the track.

Happy to say I survived dinner with the Dutch last night. Many hours and many beers later...
Now just one more day in front of the computer at work then off to the track. Can't wait.
looking forward to seeing all my friends.

Cheers
-Lee
