    One you (all of you including the kids) get into a routine, then you can put it up and take it down in all weathers without any sort of hassle whatsoever.

    It would be great if we could get to that stage (without arguing to the point of divorce).

    The kids were fab. They were only maybe 6 and 4 at the time, but they really helped. I suppose they'd be able to help even more nowadays :D

    That's normal for BMW drivers!


    I probably shouldn't add fuel to the fire by saying guess what car my OH drives :rotfl:

    I agree with Lou, Luc! When you feel up to it and ready pack little man up and go! Tell us where and we'll meet you. DH would love it-he thought you and hubbles were really great (and DH is always shy when he meets people and takes a while to warm to them normally)

    We can do a DFW camping weekend! Pepe, me and Snags and Spudly all have the gear that I know of! It'd be GREAT!

    Yep, we've got tons of camping gear - would be far less scary to try again with you lot there :T :D

    Practice. You don't need to be going out camping in order to do your thang...

    oooooh, hiya becky :wave:

    It was the comment about the march in London by Repent and you had noticed all the closed street signs - you put up a link which was fab, someone was asking what was going on with loads of police and someone with a big cross.

    Ooooo well next weekend is the london tri on both days - cycling is past westminster :D

    Although bagpuss the competitors are swiming in edexcel docks I think - its not the river per se - its cleaner and less tidal thankfully, but it'll still be cold though :eek:

    Well done you Linda!Years ago,in a multi story car park at LGW, I watched a BMW swipe a Citroen 2CV and virtually remove the front wing.The !!!!!! knew what he'd done,but just drove off. I noted the car type/colour and reg, and left a note on the 2CV windscreen with my contact details offering myself as a witness. Never heard a dickie bird. OH says BMW man probably drove round corner,waited till I had gone and removed the note.There are some right !!!!!! around...

    It's more likely that they took the note, gave it to their insurers who contacted his insurers. Saying you have an independent witness who is willing to come forward means it's pretty much "game-over" at that point.
