[Perdu]

Chances are his English is far better than mine already

Kids seem to go to school to learn stuff "sur le continong"

Whereas over here they seem to learn palm-thumb co-ordination and that's not far off the lot!

Nice looking lad Paddy, but where does he get that awfully bad taste in tee shirts?
 

I am hoping to make the 'Stone for at least some of the race, but all of the weekend is unlikely at the moment...

But we live in hope (when we isn't living in HA)

Hope you've got him practising his English Paddy 

He's bilingual

Well, he likes the Astons, and he got the '06 shirt from me

Any plans for Sat night yet? Pub? BBQ? Live band JPC?

Anything with alcohol will go, me thinks

Never touch a drop myself- I'm a Doctor!

How come I don't believe you?

Feckin hell - that IS me in 15 years time!! Must cut out the booze and fags!!
Cheers for the heads up Paddy

Just downloaded the Whittlebury Form, will get it in the post this week. Not sure who, what & when yet but plenty of time to get a pass out

Good lad - so we can say "boy, bring me more beer"? 

Is Mrs Paddy English?

My sister lives in Germany and her kids are English/German bilingual - although the mixing of languages was always quite fun in the beginning 

[Paddy_NL]

Is Mrs Paddy English?

Yep, from Boremouth

Bilingual can be quite funny, especially the grammar

At 13 my niece on holiday in England went off to deck an English lad who said "well smart German bird" to his mate as they walked by her.  She didn't really understand what it meant and was convinced it was some sort of insult and went off to smack him with me trying to drag her back and explain that it was actually a compliment

In my experience, small boys (and grown men come to think of it) are not very good at following instructions!  So it could be a very thirsty weekend unless we can find some sort of incentive....

    What sort of incentive are you proposing for the young lad....

[JDS]

It's all I can do to stop my son (who's also coming) stealing a few swigs of the beer before I get it - I wouldn't mind but he's only 8 !!

That might be nice, Harrison is seven

Could be good, I'm sure mine would love making a new friend. Both my kids have motorsport in their veins

Paddy, JDS, I'm not working this event but I'll see if I can pull any strings and get the lads a visit to race control or similar.

Will one of you remind me at the time if I don't mention anything?   

[Paddy_NL]

Wow, that would be fantastic, Anita!


Good looking kids, JDS!

Thanks very much! That would be great, I'm sure they'll love it. 

Paddy, thanks too (they take after their mother and not me, that's for sure)
