britneyspears Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Practice is usually about 3ish The riders are usually split between the Hilton, The holiday Inn city centre and the angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britneyspears Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 there was quite a few at the holiday inn last year, it seems the BSPA end up in the Angel, benfield lot in the hilton and a few riders and the rest were in the Holiday Inn. Not sure about this year but hopefully there will not be a fire alarm at the holiday inn at 3am saturday morning due to the kitchen acciddentally setting it off, so half of the gp field end up on the car park in the middle of the night, not ideal preparation me thinks :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnG Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I'm in the Holiday Inn too, look out for me. Should be there from about lunchtime on Friday although will be at Newport to watch the Tigers winning on Friday night . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matty wigs Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I've stayed in the Holiday Inn every year since the GP switched to Cardiff - but this year couldn't get in as I was told that the BSPA had booked it out en masse. Last year Greg, TRick, Andy Smith, Cegielski, Gollob, Loram, Screeny, Todd were all staying there, as well as David Howe.... In the bar after the meet - Middlo, Norrie, Scotty, Rune Holta, Travis McGowan, Colin Meredith and Niklas Klingberg were all having a drink or two (OK maybe more than one or two for Messrs Allen, Middleditch, Screen, Loram)... I too had fun with the fire alarm at 3.00am - after wandering around in a daze for a couple of minutes it suddenly occurred to me that I wasn't in fact dreaming and that the awful noise was a genuine alarm. I burst out of my room in a state of mild panic exactly at the same moment as the bloke in the room directly across the corridor, knocking him square on his derriere.... As I helped him to his feet I noticed that the bloke I'd rudely barged into was in fact TRick, with the lovely Mrs TRick following closely behind. Hats off to the man - we had a bit of a laugh about it before he told me to make sure that if I was going to save anything from the fire it ought to be my GP tickets! Had a quick chin wag with a very tired Greg in the car park, as well as Smithy, who had his hands full (poor bloke) with his wife and kids in tow... All in all an eventful half an hour or so... Gutted I couldn't get in there agin this time - anyone lucky enough to be in there with the BSPA - ENJOY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_1515 Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Last year one of my friends was staying in the same hotel as Billy H and Scott and this fire alarm thing went off and she was stood next to Billy H in just boxer shorts! Why do I always miss everything! :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnG Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I can only hope then that Nicki P's staying in the holiday inn and a fire alarm goes off when he's got nothing but his boxers on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britneyspears Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 We all thought it was the smoke alarm going off and couldnt quite work out why it had taken it an hour since we had had a crafty fag in room to go off and stood there wafting it guiltily for 10 minutes before we realised there was an awful lot of commotion in the corridors for 3am. Didnt feel quite so stupid when on the car park and we realised half the hotel had done the same thing, most of them none smokers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 (OK maybe more than one or two for Messrs Middleditch)... Thought it strange that you had one or two and then added that final piece, spent an evening in the Hilton Bar with Messrs Middleditch, Kennett, Hubbard & Hone one or two drinks no........one or two bottles yes!

London Witch Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I too had fun with the fire alarm at 3.00am - after wandering around in a daze for a couple of minutes it suddenly occurred to me that I wasn't in fact dreaming and that the awful noise was a genuine alarm.

I just wonder what TRicky would have said to you if it had been Mrs Trick coming out the room first!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matty wigs Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 I can assure you I was as shocked as he was London Witch - but like I said, he was a true gent about it... More's the pity it wasn't Mrs TRick....she's seriously lovely!! (well, not as lovely as Mrs Matty Wigs, but you get my drift!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
