Hmm - not sure I am pleased you put those on there now Gem. My camera battery pack has failed so I thought I would sit up for a while and then try again in 30 minutes or so. But now Im not so sure. I know I came away filthy but I hadnt realised quite how much was going on behind my back. In some of those shots poor old Bryn looks terrified. Thanks Gemini - off to have another shower - Im sure there is still some shaving gel down my neck!! Edit - anyone notice the carefully chosen towel - just for Bryn!!!

And Stekkers was there. And the shaving was my fault - A wet shave always looks more spectacular as you see it all in more dramatic style BUT - it didnt quite go to plan Sorry Bryn - hope you have been able to tidy it up now.

...and one more thing. Rosco - did an excellent job doing the auction, very funny for a man with such bad memories at Brandon. Lots of jokes, swiftly followed by - ...and that will be on the internet by tomorrow. Well - no - apart from the one that made me gggle the most. Big John from Buildbase was doing a lot of hand waving and bidding and was showing his generosity and Rosco shouts out to him - Fancy moving from Coventry to Swindon next season Big John!!! Firstly - get your hands off him Rosco - he's ours and secondly, I hope the Swindon current sponsers were not there today!!!! And just in case the humour has not come through this post - IT WAS A JOKE!!!! ................and Rosco - sorry tp pinch your cap - I will bring a special new one for you when we next head your way, or you head ours!

Hi VV - sort of!! My error on this forum is not always reading more than one line and moving on. So I got a new razor and sme shaving gel thinking I was just doing his beard and moutache. Oh and some nail scissors just to clip a little before shaving. Well - I had not realised the task in hand. And how long that amount of hair takes to remove. As some one has said - Bj got involved and did quite a good job. As I clipped he shaved!! Bryns hair was done to a thin scissor cut and we got through most of the beard and moutache but it took forever so we let Bryn up and he will finish the job at home. And remember guys - dont let Janniro anywhere near a can of shaving gel - a lot of playing was going on behind me but I was trying to concentrate! As soon as I can I will get photo's on here. £130 in the pot - so if anyone hasnt paid up yet the total will hopefully rise. Now - The meeting - superb, a great win for Scott but a brilliant day for Johno. he was still there when we left at 8.30pm and was fully involved with Mr Sandhu and out with the dogs as the evening turned from speedway to greyhounds. Congratulations to all of his team for making today such a brilliant meeting. And Ozyace - I LOVE YOU!!!!!

thats what I thought and what I thought happened in the last qualifier The tension!!!!!!!!!!!

darn!! For those on 10 points - is it count back or race off?

Brilliant heat win by Steady. He now has to sit back and wait. he must be through surely. He is assured of reserve at any rate

Blimey, it looks like Chris Holder's night is over. I am not his Number 1 fan but to not get through to the semi's is a real blow. He must be having major problems.

Steady just outside the top 7 but still time. Come on

I can lend you my coventry bees scarf if you want!!

Oh yes - with the wind whisltling around the brandon terraces it can get very chilly!!!!

Bex just been looking at the forecast and it looks like it will be dry BUT it is going to be windy (strong winds) so people will need to wrap up warm. Just been chatting to Bryn about the shaving and its on, so dont forget to bring your money along to see Bryn loose some of his body hair. We may even sell the clippings - so go to the bank and get cash!!

thanks for the link and I am assuming that 9pm is Italian time which mean the meeting is about to start UK time

Its countdown time now - only one more sunday, only one more Monday, one more Tuesday......... and you get the picture. How many more sleeps Bird???

Well it depends how far North though - go past the border and some seem to have a bit more of a problem than others!!! Poor Pammie - dont worry darling, its only 7 more sleeps and you will be old news. we will have a mass of new stories to embarrass with.after that

oh - thats not nice!!!

I was sent a preview today of the task in hand. Its a tough job - but well worth it. Not sure if I am still 'sweeney todd' (hope I am) but I reckon this is a task to be shared.
