........where do I start

[dizzyblonde]

....now I have my proper name back!

I would like to thank everyone who made the effort to come and make a very super duper AR. Apart from the rain! Maybe if we go again sometime, we may be able to get third time lucky on that one.

I would like to give a very large public thankyou to Orose, who gave so much time, so many 'poker faces' to my worries and dizzyness, who just said 'it'll be fine'. His face has always been DILLIGAF to my WTF. Without Oli, I'm not sure we'd have had an AR, because without him to offer to take it on after I had baby, I wouldn't have had the drive and determination to carry on.

All three chefs, my god, you cooked all of my food mountain

All those who have recce'd, fetched, marked, carried, been ordered, shouted at, bored to death, and heres some remembered moments

Gemma cause shes just amazing,
Maria-I love her-Lou, why do you need so many cucumbers?,
Smudge 'pay your council tax',
Chris, and his petrol fumed van, oh how I laughed at how much stuff we got in there, 'Lou can you smell petrol,,hmm must be him in front', both of us turning at the same time to look at the rat, hidden there somewhere
Bibio for falling in love,
Messie 'how you feeling Lou',
AndrewSmith, cause nobody from Scotland understands what he says,
Samson, the dizzy dog
TLW....for nearly trashing my gate table and all its contents...dumbass!
bapmobeel(the new name for the Skyline)
Rictus, for distracting me so I forgot the corner
Dave Preston... I'm Irish, I know where you live, that bloody megaphone(ta Smudge)
KG...I'm scarred for life
Maviczap.....for crying over onions
TSM....you fecker!
Jambo because hes just so nice.
Sid Squid, who came to the AR, but didn't know we'd already decided for him, before he did
Phil and kate 24/7.....nine hrs in a van to get here, poor Kate was texting me, and that BIG TOP TENT!
The Raptor Chapter.
Cagiva Girls dad....and his doggie tank bag.
DALESBRIDGE>>>>>YEEEEEHHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raf, for refusing to let go of his bike
Weirdo, for offroading his Raptor and staying on.
Lozzo.......you did me a favour taking more V2 sponges
Mrs CombatFred..Wendy, for attempting a nice photo, it really will never happen!
StarTrekSteve....you knew I was grumpy, I love you!
Hindle, clean that down pipe, its got grass in it.
Fruity, you really could hide an army under that hoody
Dyzio, giving me the throttle signal, and the big grin when I nearly blew his helmet off

600+, Moses, I love hearing my man speak his real language, it was a pleasure to hear you both, chatting away

I will keep editing as I remember so many things




Most of all, my darling Pegasus....cause hes had to listen to AR for nearly a year.

PS>>>>> Hope you all liked the cake

I think I'll finish now, I'm dizzy! I had a great time, hope you all enjoyed yourselves, and you all ate well. The whole thing was a blur of madness for me, my sinuses have packed in, I feel like Megs, but I really enjoyed the whole experience.

The best bit........everyone rolling in happy, and going away very soggy and happy, especially the Soho group tooting and waving as they left.

"HELLO, HELLO. CAN MY WIFE PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE MY TENT IS, I'M LOST AND I NEED TO SLEEP NOW"

This shouted through the bloody megaphone at gone 3am woke me up, but it also made me laugh my doo-dahs off. The man is a bloody star

Once again, thanks Dizzy.

I spoke to Andrew at length, he answered throughout the whole conversation but I have no idea what he said.

So did I, but I have no idea what he said, because my ears have had two sledgehammers in them for a couple of days.

I've obviously spent too much time around preston, as speaking to Andrew was as easy as can be - sober geordie is a lot less difficult than drunk nornirish, megaphone or not
