Oban bound.

Well our Scottish Jolly's will soon be upon us, hadd, tony t, mick, Maximus and myself will be meeting up at Lancaster to form a convoy to Scotland. It can rain all this week until Saturday because jambo had pre booked the weather for us well in advance Now!! anti mozzie repelant.... I believe Nivea skin so soft is the gear to bring with us plus Deet

Also I have been looking for a translation book to bring with us to help us with the local lingo. Now!! Scottish money... do we need Bank of Scotland dosh or Royal Bank of Scotland dosh which would be more acceptable

Can't wait to meet up with jambo and any other Scottish rib nobbers and have a great holiday, and you never know... that big fella with all them trucks might just show his face as well

I hope the Barn up the road from us has got plenty in stock and a late licence

Ah so your coming gang handed! So long as the Wolves casusals remember to behave themselves i think you should be ok. WX has been good I am just back down after three great weeks with about only two of rain!! Having a look long range it looks a bitty cooler but you never know we might crack it. Looking forward to meeting up with you all either on the water or for a meal/drink. Its just from my bases it a 2 hr run up to easdale and I need the wx to be in my favour especially for the run back. Itys the green SSS that works but they really havn.t been to bad, honest Tony!! WE take any money especially of Englishmen If you let me know your cruising plans we can arrange something and I can give others a shout. Send me an email Ill PM you.
#Cheers

There's a very strong suggestion in Meteorological circles that the auld jet stream is twitchin' north, so ye might just get the weather Jambo has ordered. Just to be on the safe side, I sacrificed a few smaller woodland mammals in your name - I find it helps. Obviously a cow would clinch it, but there are cutbacks.

How long are you guys up there for?

Just for the week, I wanted two but being as the others are not council wallers they couldn't get the extra time off.

no, its AVON Skin-So-Soft - if Nivea make a product with the same or similar name it probably doesn't work - but will make you look 10 yrs younger.

Hey, if your having Avon trouble, the usual solution is to wrap the effected bit in duct tape...
