TFA!
Tonight I am doing very little. Pack the car, tidy the house etc.
Saturday:
Popping down to Raglan castle in Wales for a melee. Will be fighting my way though the gatehouse, courtyard, bridge, kitchens etc.
Am thinking of giving my 9' spear a try out and seeing what carnage I can cause with it - face shots are legal in this system so spears are pretty menacing.
Sunday:
Taking kids to the beach, nursing bruises from the castle battle. Maybe watch a film in the evening with Mrs MUN.

Cheers, have a good one everyone....
Last couple of weekends I have been doing NADA but not so this weekend...
Today - drive down to Essen and pop into New Life Shark Records, they do a nice line in portable record players and before buying one I want to get a feel for it (plus they do some other quite cool stuff.) Evening will probably be a Mongolian BBQ at Mongos if not too busy otherwise just a pizza and beer in the sun
Saturday - shopping then off to Jahnstadion in Bottrop (which has a suburb called Bottrop Boy which always cause a small titter) to watch FC Schalke II vs Viktoria Köln (4th division football, the best as the beer is cheap, the wurst are good and the atmosphere is jolly) followed by an evening at the Panic Room to see original Californian West Coast punks The Dickies (support band for The Adolescents)
Sunday - back home with a quick detour into Köln and then relax in the sun
Monday - pick up 431bhp of precision German engineering as my new toy and back to work (well, probably rather late so I'll just go in on Tuesday instead)
Should be a lively one
