It's only a result if you get banned from the whole of Birkenhead!

I try and use only "Pay at the pump" garages now, no nonsense in having to remove helmets, and more importantly, no queing behind people getting the weeks f....ing shopping in a PETROL STATION!!!

Hi Tim
I do not appear to have received your membership application for the GOMC.
I assume it is still in the post.
Any chance of you appearing at Minehead later in the year? We could perhaps do a duologe

Minehead's great! It has (or had) the world's nicest YHA hostel and is the start of one of the best bits of the SW coastal path. If you haven't walked Minehead to Wossname Weir, do it (don't go as far as Lynmouth in a day though...bit far).

Whatever.

Must admit, the area around Minehead is beautiful - we had our summer holidays for a few years at a cottage just a mile further inland from Dunster.

Steam trains too at Minehead. 8)

I'd love to go Phil, but September's the busiest month of the year for us at work, hardly a free weekend. :cry:

Cottage was at Duddings and in a gorgeous location. :)

I got banned from Mcdonalds in Warrington for being mouthy. Can you believe it? Actually, "escorted off the premises" might be a better way of describing it...
