I think it's gotta be........ "cuillère en bois"............... :P

 

Buy as an exiled Irishman I also need to say....... "Phew - thank god for the French this season"   :blush2:

Well I've got nothing to shout about as I'm Scottish, but I noted that if England beat Wales and we beat France, Scotland would finish second in the table. That can't be right.

I hope Scotland do beat them! It'll mean we'll have to do a fast dash through France in July though!!

I wonder when France will "click" - they are bound to play a blinder soon.

 

I had a good Saturday watching back to back games in the pub. Sets the final weekend up nicely.

 

The red jersey resides hung over the banister, unwashed between weekends. Thats the way I have determined that Wales do best.

My sentiments entirely, Martin. Let's wait and see what they are forecasting at the end of the week for the weekend and you can make your minds up peeps, whether to come. I've got a 3mt x 3mt gazebo and the garage to work in which will be fine for intermittent showers but not if it's snowing or pissing down all day.

Metcheck also forecasts a chilly day, with rain in morning easing off in the afternoon.

Have Gazebo, will travel! (if it's needed)

Might see about 15w fork oil if anyone's up for helping/doin with that.

Are you still intending to come? Weather is improving but there is still a likelyhood of rain according to today's forecast. I have a gazebo to work under but a second one for the cooking equipment would be good.

I've had a reprieve and can make the full day.  Also have a gazebo if Mick can't make it or you think you need an extra one.

.............The plan is to deliver the bile over to Ali's on the Saturday afternoon so I presume the first thing to tackle on the Sunday would be the valve checks and on from there?..........

Ali

what time on Saturday afternoon would be best to drop the bike at yours? I need to organise my lift back and don't want to interfere with her shortbread making..... :good:

 

I'm sorta thinking around 4:30 ish......


At risk of doing something exciting!

Moose, I can bring a dremmel to get the old chain off if anyone's got a rivetting tool to get the new one on.
