To help you pass the barren winter...
« on: November 20, 2006, 11:35:30 pm »
After returning from Le Mans in June I started writing a story of the trip for the benefit of my group. It expanded somewhat so I decided to tart it up a bit and host it on my site for all the world to see.  :) It may be a wee bit long winded and focused on those that were there with me but, hey, if you dont like it dont read it!! Hope you do enjoy it though  ;)

I spent most of work time this morning reading this. A great read Dobbo, thanks, it sums up the Le Mans experience perfectly.

Likewise, interesting read.

Could not finish reading it this morning as work got in the way......darn.

So printed it out to read on the plane later this afternoon.

Le Mans is for the week......not just 24hrs!

Dobbo, it's absolutely terrific, it must have taken ages to do.

One criticism, there's not much mention of the tate of the toilets, a huge oversight in my book. ;)
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Haven't had time to read fully, but the flavour of it is there, the atmosphere is there. the balance of content is there, and the various things that we all get up to are there too - nicely done and well done  ;D ;D ;D

Tate?  as in Gallery?

I've seen nothing artisitic in the bogs, although I have left one or two works of art

I would just like to assure everybody that i don't buy absolutely all of my clothing at motorsport events.

I know for a fact that i have a shirt in my wardrobe that came from BHS in 1997.

It's not you is it Lorry? I mean, the person who goes round gratuitously writing filthy stuff on bog walls? No I didn't think so, the identity of the Bog Artist remains a mystery.

Still, whoever it is can they please desist forthwith. Look I go in there for a dump, not to read about your sexual fanatasies. I'm not interested if you have big hairy balls nor do I want your phone number. Moreover, I most certainly don't appreciate the fact that you have apparently "blown your tanks" on the cubicle wall and then drawn a big arrow to point out this atrocity to all future users of the toilet. Stop it, whoever you are!
