Counting Stars Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Crikey thats nuts. Where is that from if you don't mind me asking? X Kent. I think it's because we have to go through London. Might see if it's any different further up past London and parking. Would stay the night though because it's a 4 hour drive x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in a services once,think it was Hilton Park,but one of the lads was on the phone for ages to his mrs,because he hadn't told her he was going the match,we'd set off in the coach at A.M after the pub shut,about 5 A.M i think,later on he walked in the services restaurant looking for pie's and pasties,but they were all gone,the lads on the coach had cleared them,he came over and sat on the next table to us,shaking his head He said "there's F all left food to rob,yer fat bas7ards,next time i go away with youz im stitching rubber pockets into me coat,so i can get some ....ng soup",because thats all that was left:laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakeboard1980 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Manchester for me, and as the wife is due in 2 weeks I think that would be the only one I'd be able to make so I'm home the same night. But its up to the majority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
