    Mate of mine used to always start a row on a Friday night when he got home having been away all week. Clears the air, and then you get to make up
    Probably won't get the chance to get a pint in. It used to clear the air, now it just stirs the mud.

    Tonight: Tennis
    Saturday: Footy in the morning, kids party in the afternoon, DVD + wine + Mrs PRC in evening.
    Sunday: Long ramble from Headley Heath to Box Hill followed by roast for lunch and slobbing about for the rest of the day.

    I'm almost tired out from just typing that.

    Tomorrow - take the parents and the little one to whichever local rugby team are at home, have a few drinks and try to enjoy the game (love rugby but the level we will watch will be something like London north division 4 level). Go home for fireworks in the back garden and then watching everyone else's out the window. Fail to get daughter to sleep at a reasonable time due to the noise! More drinks and family sociableness

    Sunday - off to visit rellies in Kent for Sunday lunch and general frivolity!
    Just out of curiosity - do you (Or did you) do a DNS kind of role a while back?

    You down my way then kirk? I'm over in Fareham, but from copnor originally!!!

    W/E for me is shaping up as....

    Friday - Down the pub in North End (Mischief) with the lads for a few drinks
    Saturday - Playing Badminton for two hours followed by tidying the house coz its a real mess. Night in with the missus watching TV afterwards.
    Sunday - Got Martial Arts weapons training, so waving some sticks (Bokken and Jo) around in the air and trying not to get bashed on the head. Lunch and then probably dinner round the g/f's parents and hopefully down the pub again (Duke of Bucks - Old Ports)

    If I fall in love with something, I will just buy it, and (hopefully) get it massively taken in nearer the time.
