A Very British Pre-Trip Report - October 2006

[SusanEllen]

Read your pre-t r at lunch today, Kevin, but didn't have enough time to compose a proper comment. I knew I had to choose my words carefully so as to appear a "sweet" and "considerate" person. Thinking about that all afternoon I've become concerned--I'm not sure I can handle the pressure to be sweet and considerate for an entire week. Hmmmm. I may have to drink after all.

 

[chunkster20uk]

Well time has certainly flown by!! Hope you all have an amazing trip and really enjoy yourselves.

Some advice for friends:-

Matt, I know you don't need reminding but it's always 5 o'clock somewhere!!

Kev, look after Matt, he isn't getting any younger but still fails to comprehend moderation!! Also don't forget the camcorder when you go to Hooters!

Deb and Tam, you poor girls, however can I remind you that too many Margaritas and air hockey pucks make for interesting photos.

Georgia and India, your challenge is to push Matt in the pool, but if you spill any alcohol in the process you have to treat him with the utmost respect for the remainder of the holiday.


Again guys have a great time, we look forward to hearing about it on your return.

No pressure from me. The less sweet and considerate you are, the less friendly and generous I have to be.

You know us so well!

Certainly is bud! Strangely, it is normally wherever I am. I just don't understand

I have already warned them how ruthless I can be when it comes to depositing small children in pools, so I think we understand each other


See you soon mate.

Certainly is bud, strangely it is normally wherever I am at any given time, just don't understand

That is why I enjoy being in your company!!

 

[UKDEB]

Susan, I've just spotted that you chose (knowingly or otherwise) to skip over the attribute of 'being willing to supply beer at the drop of a hat'. As we speak, Matt is packing his entire 65 strong hat collection. That's what I call pressure!

 

[SusanEllen]

Kevin was putting words in my mouth. However, I suppose I will have to agree to make good on them (sweetly) or risk looking not all that considerate. Hoisted on my own reputation!

Fear not Mark, I'll keep an eye on the young 'un. But then who's going to keep an eye on me?

Mark & Sue - we are at V&A's on the 28th. If you miss us at Raglan Road we will be at the Adventurers Club later.
Enjoy your holiday.

Great start Kev,

[Cyrano]

Looking forward to your next installment already.
Have a great time guys

This should help you against Matt. Matt, show some spine man. Give the old guy the 2 strokes on the par 3's as well, must respect your elders.

Thanks Mick, I think. I'm not sure whether to be grateful for the golf advice or angry at being called an old guy! I think I'll plump for the grateful.

Checked out the golfing tips and I think I quailfy as a golf cheat.

Ability to lie - check
Standing in front of the mirror and saying 'there stands one handsome dude' - check
Pretending I had a 5 when it was really a 7 - check

Oh, this golf lark looks easy to me!

And we all know you were at Big Betty's Bosom Bar until 3am this morning, Kev. Futile trying to deny it.

 

[Boss Hogg]

Not sure that the web link will help you much Kev. I know all of those ones and some more to boot.

Including, but not limited to, swerving the golf cart around violently inducing motion sickness; creating a cigar smoke fog on the tee box, so you lose track of your ball in the air and thus drop a shot for a lost ball; asking the pro-shop for a set of junior clubs for you to play with; drlling small holes in the balls I get for you etc etc etc.

I think that this once enjoyable experience could well be something of an attritional morning. But I am more than up to the job "pops"!!

 

[Lisash]

Looking forward to the next installment

Already sounds like an epic trip! Have a good one
