looking ill at the show

Postby clemo » Sat 21.01.2006, 12:56

well as nobody has used this sunday posting slot , i thought i would kick it off..
i think sunday will be mostly used for those who went to bed late , having abused stella and eaten minimal food to realise the "phantom sticker spree" quality work that they may have been involved in ...
i personally have used the sunday morning to try and sell a car , but having been hung over so badly ... left it to the rest of the club to do it on my behalf... and as noticed on many other events will walk around in a daze for many hours looking rather grey....
BUT NOT THIS YEAR ...
early to bed .. self imposed drinking ban .. for now i am sensible...
please list you name below if you too are in the sensible club ??

I think me and Liz will be spending the sunday looking at some of the museums etc and getting a nice gentle ride home.

I couldnt really subject her to 2 full days of Donington itself, although she says she doesnt mind finding enough variety to keep us occupied for 2 days might be a little difficult.

Now now gentlemen!...

I was merely commenting that the lady although interested by my toy (the car!) might not be able to stomach 2 full days of Turbos, boost creep, and wtf's making that noise. That we will probably spend sunday sight-seeing in the area, before a scenic relaxed 150mile drive home.

i think that's very considerate of you Tony. D is coming up with me on the basis that we go out for lunch on Saturday at a nice local pub. Probably do a tour round the area too.

To save trawling the forum whats happening on Saturday night? I'll probably be staying at the holiday inn where we stayed last year so i'll need to start ordering a Taxi to avoid the fiasco of last year!!!

Tell her that Costas shall do a "scenic relaxed 1500+miles drive home" and another 20 hours on a cruise-ship from Italy to Greece! Then she will realize that 150mile is a drive around the neighbourhood :p

If clemo goes to donington on a self imposed drinking ban on sunday, the sticker spree should be in another color (norfolk mustard) we then may not be recognized by the personnel of the Holiday inn eiter. ;-)
