We are on the 05:40m out of Dover tomorrow morninng,  but the car is all loaded up and sat in the carpark here at work just waiting to go,  stopping off at the outlaws on the way down after work, drink their beer, and get a few hours kip!

It's gonna be a long day at work today!

Le Mans - the how you get there is not quite as important as being there.

I know what you mean.

I was due to pick up our polo shirts last night, then do the last shopping bits and fininsh packing.

But I got stuuck on the M40 where they totally closed the road due to a bad crash and had to bring the air ambulance in. 1 hour and 40 minutes of sitting totally stationary followed by a crawl to the top of the M40. Then had to go further into London to the embroiderers house to collect them as he had to give up waiting for me at Hillingdon as we didn't know when I would get there.

Instead of getting home at 7:00 it was 10:45 so still loads to sort out today!

That's an early start mike. I can have a lie in as I'm only 40 mins away from airport  ;D.

Is it time to go home yet?

Now where did I put that passport?  ;D ;D ;D

Early to bed tonight i think  ::)

Just got the pasport,tickets and camera to put in the backpack and thats us ready.

Cant even have a warm up beer tonight though because of the 2am drive  >:(

Easy guys, I'm still sitting in the office and will have to do the 20 or so Apfelstrudel cakes for Rollcentre and Kruse on Thursday night. Ah, and then there's the JPMorgan marathon run here in Frankfurt tonight. Still, I will be on time for the DfH party on Friday.  ;D

Right, leaving work now and then a quick marathon tour to pick up the ridiculous amount of furniture from Rex's barn plus other ebay purchases that people couldn't be bothered to collect  ::) then home to kiss the wife, stop at the co-op to buy 20 fags (once out of her sight  ;D ) and then party on dudes.

See you all sausage side.
