>I was just remembering the story were Jeremy Reeves (a former miracle >systems employee) and Stuart Honeyball went "hill climbing" during that >Irish Show.

At least they'd been there much of the day without getting thrown out...I knocked a pint over within minutes of arrival and nearly got thrown out before having my first drink! Still, the laptop came in handy when paying for the food didn't it Darren ;-)) >Happy days.. Most memorable for the wrong reasons - it was the following >morning we all woke to the news that Princess Diana was dead. I remember >all of us, including Ian Pizer from Switzerland and his wife standing there >watching the TV in disbelief... I was staying in a B&B up the road with Simon Goodwin at the time and we nearly argued because I thought he was winding me up that Diana had been killed in that accident. It was only when he turned on the radio that I realised it was true. >Which reminds me, must get the final bookings sorted for a show over here >again this year. Now I am leaving the bank I will have some additional time >on my hands. Anyone have any preference as to when? I was thinking of July >or August, when the weather is good. He he, been trying to get Darren to do this for ages, with many false starts. To anyone fancying a few days in Ireland at that time of year it's a superb place to be, and the last Irish show was such fun we'll hardly forget it! I've also wanted to get to one of the USA QL shows but each and every year something happens to prevent me going, I've pretty well given up trying now. Anyone wanting to travel to Ireland for the show could do worse than take a sail and rail (or whatever they're called now) ticket to Holyhead or south west wales from England. I have found to my surprise in the past that these can sometimes actually be cheaper than ferry fare alone due to discounting by the train companies concerned. And the trains to north Wales are actually not as bad as we've come to expect from the british rail companies, they do actually manage to get to the ferries on time on the whole! -- Dilwyn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.soft.net.uk/dj/index.html
