[nope] Training Week

[PorkyFatBoy]

Day 2 - 7:20pm
Most of the housemates are in the hostel. Jene and Bexter are baking a cake. MeatMarket and Designated Driver are playing pool in the bar. DD is whipping MM's arse. The bar is closed. Brooner, Becks and Mharky are having Sunday dinner at Brooner's mum's house. BenWales is playing darts.

Oh, and the training is excellent too - you should be here.

[DesignatedDriver]

twas mighty banter

those who didn't go - you missed out on some epic chat

including:

Banter with a random french comedy genius
Gladiator Killer
MeatMarket curled in a ball on the floor giggling like a school girl
The occasional forest rally stage (by the way - i think my suspension is fooked!)
and i think we may have orienteered at some stage during the week


photos to follow - slightly edited due to their over banterous nature

[Jene]

Porky - you look so thin weren't the cakes as good as they look? and why is that boy behind you looking so camp?

[bexter]

I have to excuse my use of the french language for the whole of the week, j'ai mal a la tete. Merci beaucoup surtout a la driver de designee, le brooner brown, la disco stu, becky carl'yle, le grande porky fat boy, le rocquan et des etudiants de ports de galles.

I am going to cut down on my swearing for next year although only if designated driver gives up shortening my life by 5 years by his rally style interpretation of the aviemore nethybridge road

Porky - you look so thin weren't the cakes as good as they look? and why is that boy behind you looking so camp?

Thanks - Designated Driver must have airbrushed the photos. The cakes were lovely (sorry Loz for excluding you I didn't know your [nope] id).

The camp boy behind is Mharky throwing a dart with a more refined style than MeatMarkets (see his photos)

A cracking week - but did my orienteering improve?
Sat 19th Aug = 9.1km in 2 hrs
Sat 26th Aug = 5.5km in 2 hrs
"Come back next year and we'll sort yous out" says Wattok.

Enjoyed the rally driving (road and forest) as much as Designated Driver seems to have (but my suspension is still in one piece )

Big to Brooner, Wattok, Becks and everyone else who made this (and the PT) such a great week.
