4 Weeks to go - am arriving mid afternoon on 8th if anybody fancies a few pre-breif shandies. Am staying at palace station initially (well until WWI arrives stamps her feet and insists we move to the Cosmo.)
If anyone is there earlier england team have invited me to their training and meet the fans reception- pm me if you want to go as my replacemnent.

 

[pwhaling]

I'll be there. I'm also at the palace station. I'm not sure when I'm arriving yet

I was planning on going this year but a minor surgical procedure and a new work commitment will only let me get as far as Kansas City.

 

[DrSTU]

I shall be arriving by private plane on the evening of Wednesday the 8th. A few sneaky shandies may be the order of the day before the LVI tournament commences on Thurs and Fri.

When's the training session. It was good fun watching NZ train last time, didn't realise how short titch is!

 

[B52 REF]

i think luke ( rfu younster on the irb 7s circuit) is now going to sub. for me anyway.

 

[DrSTU]

there's always someone training on the pitches around SB.

Last time I saw Scotland training, YES, honest to God, SCOTLAND!

Enjoy good old USA.

My daughter has been out in Florida over Christmas / New Year, with friends. Flying home tonight - or were, apparently they went for a final meal out before heading airportwards - car with passports, tickets and her laptop (containing work she was doing over the hols for uni) was stolen while they were eating...

Take care.

 

[DrSTU]

[menace]

cause we're 'Downunder' and he's Up-under?

 

[DrSTU]

Because alost every post I make is done in between my lab work so I pop in, look what's new and then hit quote and start typing. Means I don't have to click to after the end quote box.
