7-45 ! Bang goes breakfast then !

Directions ?

Weather looks OK but the real test will be when Noah loads his car up. I'm taking an Immersion Suit just in case.

S-Kippy, you could always pay £15 for a muffin and coffee at a service station...If it's as bad as last time take the aqualung along as well.

Peter. Just had msg from Keith who has just had his car bashed. probably not able to come now. sorry.

That's a shame Graham, hopefully he'll be able to make it but not a problem money wise as we were running one extra and now we all just pay Neil.

PS Skippy, don't worry about Evan, by the time he starts loading up his car we'll be packing up.........

Having just spent the last 3 years ferrying beloved daughter to & from Southampton Uni I know all about M3 service stations. Winchester in particular is a bloody disgrace !

Thanks Simon.....I'm just a lazy git.

S'pose I'd better oil me pins and dig some proper gear out now.

That cheap Graham!

That cheap Graham!

Not far off the truth....and so full of preservatives they have a half-life not a "best before" date.

S-Kippy.

My Daughter also is at Southampton Uni. Half way into another 4 years after 3 years at Durham Uni.

Bloody Expensive business especially as the Lad spent 3 years at Bath Uni.....

Worse thing is the number of times I get asked "where did they get their brains from.....!"

Waiting to hear from Keefy.

If you use the A303 at all S-Kippy then you can always stop off at my place for something decent to eat.

I am only 5 minutes away from the A303

Very kind of you Peter but I will do well enough to drag myself out of bed in enough time to be there for 7-45. Fortunately the car knows its way to Southampton.

I'll have something before I leave. Damned if I will use those footpads at Winchester.

Why don't those that want a decent breakie leave their gear with the others around 09.30 and decamp up the hill for a proper fill up, they can also bring back take out coffees for those who stayed behind?

Far better than all the options except Fleet.

I meant for your uni' taxi trips as I'll be in Oslo this Sunday enjoying a beer at around £12 a pint . . . . .

Sounds good - Would that be a freebe your house Mick?.......................

I remember it was around £1 per half litre in Bergen hotels in the late 60's, you had to be bloody clever to get a drink out in the sticks then (unless you sampled the local moonshine).......

Nooooo.......... The Haskins Garden Centre , Mansbridge Rd, West End, Southampton 023 8047 2324 Opens at 09.00

Its 100m up the hill from the river.........highly recommended (if the good chef is on) acceptable if not

Local info dispensed free unless we're in the Swan!

In my defence it was very early this morning and I'd only had one cuppa. Fortunately my Uni trips are now over....Helen graduated last Tuesday.

Helen has decided she would like to do post grad research mg:



Only kidding

Dont even joke about that ! Fortunately Lurch is adamant he is not going to Uni....for which I am eternally grateful.

I love my kids to bits....but I do wish sometimes they would just pi$$ off and let me be.

Had an excellent warm up session on Thursday down on the D. Stour where the chub obliged very nicely.

Now very much looking forward to tomorrow, promises to be another good social session with a bit of quality river fishing involved as well.
