    I have black duct tape. I'll bring it on Friday as a back up.
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    Seeing it's Star Wars Day (May the fourth be with you), I'll tell my duct tape joke...

    Why is duct tape like The Force?

    Because it has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together.

    OK, currently I count 28 people registered to come.
    I am well on the way to making this number of bands, and will be finishing the job tonight. I'll probably make a couple extra just in case. Please bear in mind that this has been taken care of- but numbers have been taken from the registration page. If you're not on it and want a band like everyone elses, please let me know. Also, if anyone had exceptionally large biceps, then PM and let me know just how buff you are. Thanks.

    Jaz! Send me a text in the morning to remind me to bring the duct tape (just in case), btw - you're a legend!

    From someone who has ridden in a lot of funeral processions (Ulyssian) I would recommend staggered riding, not 2 abreast. Then when someone has a bit of a wobble, they are not going to knock into any one else.


    Thinking of you all.

    Just got home after the trip from Heck (a bit like Hell but not quite as bad)

    I have found while I'm away that a valued client has assembled his full team and I am expected to give a 1 hour presentation (that does not currently exist btw) over the time of the funeral.

    My nose is streaming, my eyes are watering and my head is pounding. In fact the parrot in the Monty Python scetch was quite well compared to me right now. At least I'm not being ill anymore (very embarrassing) which is pretty dangerous for us type one diabetics....

    So even without this #$%^king work thing there is just no way I could do the funeral ride tomorrow.... I can talk in my sleep (you may have noticed) but riding is out of the question, even if I can negotiate a more favourable time (unlikely)

    So I'll gobble some panadol and go to bed and fall asleep on top of my laptop again and wonder what the hell I'm doing this for. It sure ain't fir the ungrateful sob that AOK'd this knowing about both the funeral and the state of my health. It sure aint the money or the rich lifestyle....

    But a part of it is because a lot of people I respect in our business and subbies have sent me stuff I need at the last minute because I asked them too and are counting on me to help them keep on feeding their families. Christ I know their wives and kids... How do you balance that against something as important as this funeral?

    Answer - You can't but the fact is, I just gotta do this... It's gotta be done.

    So ----- After taking the high moral ground I am revealed as the companies man and a cop out. You all (and Sams family) have my full appology for not attending. I feel embarassed about explaining myself and doing it but there you are. Those of you that truely know me will realise I'm not pleased about the situation I find myself in but thats life...

    Paul N

    Feels like a ..... prat...
