Kinda depends whether you've had ice cream before the event I expect - mango's another popular taste I'm told................ [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Would explain the allergic "shellfish" reaction - flushing, shortness of breath.......... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
Handy place for the aging to stash their teeth and glasses etc. at night, though - must buy the mother-in-law one for Christmas.

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] after the Lincolnshire meet on 14th June my back has been killing me ever since, the only comfortable position I can sit at the moment is as if I'm riding TRiXy, lol! shame I can't take my computer out to my bike and do my work there!!!
However, when we get back from the RTT I am only in work the following Monday and Tuesday and have the rest of the week off to take it easy in Clacton for another little break - I reckon I'm gonna need it [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Get yourself to an osteopath pronto - I'd been suffering with sciatica for more than 2 weeks before seeing one - my 4th visit is tomorrow but I'll be fit for the RTT [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]

I will be heading down from N-Ireland on Sat Morning.
I had hoped to meet Geordie Guy, Matlock, Pict and Pete Kelly down in Dun Laoghire about 11am [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]
It will take me 1 1/2 hours to get down there.

Roads close 9.30 but there's perimeter roads giving access. We arrived there about lunchtime at the last RTT and got parked up near the track.
