    I think plenty of paracetamol may be the order of the day and ear plugs to aid sleeping.
    On the subject of ear plugs on both occasions this year in the IOM and as usual I shared a room with my friend and the only way I could get any sleep was to use ear plugs cos he's the only person I now who can snore and fart at the same time:eek: all night long:mad:
    What a racket from both ends.

    Actually I phoned to check that I have in fact booked a place in the bunk barn. It was January when I first phoned but as I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday you can see my point! :rolleyes:

    Just booked my accommodation at the Royal Oak for three nights in the barn. Was a bit surprised to find out there were only five booked in for three nights and one for one night. Hope there are a few camping and b&B'ing or there won't be as many going as I thought.

    DRUM ROLL...............................................................................

    I have just booked in the bunkhouse for the Tuesday night. You think you can snore, just you wait !!!!! I have to wear earplugs just to not wake myself up :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Looking forward to meeting you guys. Unfortunately it is a day down and a day back up on the Wednesday, but should be a good night to make it worth the run down. Now onto Google maps and sort a route out avoiding all major roads and motorways. :)

    Hi Guys

    Well I've just had the worst day of my life. I had to take my dog to the vets to put him to sleep. During last weekend he became quite ill. A visit to the vets and several tests revealed he had multiple organ failures. He stopped eating any food a couple of days back and it was so sad to see him suffering. Whilst he retained his dignity I felt it important to do the right thing by him.

    We took this photo yesterday during his last walk.

    As you might imagine my wife and I are quite upset. I certainly cannot now come to the Grand Meet Up as I need to support my wife Judith. In fact I've just booked a last minute weeks holiday in Majorca for Monday.

    I know you will all understand, have a great time in Buxton, and I'll definitely be at the next one

    Mick
