Don't suggest that Del, we'd have to move the Thursday night gate party to Wednesday night
Can see the Nats turning into a week long event

Yeah I`d love a week of it

Think it`s actually 8am Friday Del

The weather's not looking good, rain all weekend forecast.

Mm, I've checked multiple models and it looks crap on Friday, with potential for rain over the weekend as a whole.

Some of the surf prediction models are depressingly accurate.

Yeah. Don't look great.
AND....my boiler packed up today. New gas valve needed or possibly pcb .
Just sat down after installing new emersion heater.
Question is. Repair boiler. Or go to a soggy Nats ?
Tired and fed up ....

It can change either way. Fri does look grim, but Sat doesn't look too bad according to BBC weather which is usually nearish.

Is the bar not always open? Or am I spent before it shuts?

I wish I could find the photo of us all crammed under Philths gazebo in the sideways rain one year took a chally down for Budgie and the rain was coming in the drivers door and soaking my leg. Cruised down in convoy with Bro in a Bee and Phil in a Firebird. Remember deciding to take the scenic route down and ending up jamming up the back lane villages trying to squeeze the muscle cars past the bin wagons coming the other way.

was like a Top Gear road trip.

Ended up bringing a lairy Firebird back in the Bananarama! rain, with sporadic battery cut out and only a mild sense of worry in someone else's hot poop motor in a biblical downpour...

Happy days.

great weekend.

And I remember Philths getting "tip envy" ...

P.s. Mossy, stare at the boiler for a bit, scratch your chin, then scratch your arse. Sharp intake of air through your teeth, then charge yourself a call out fee before you tell yourself the boiler you have is particularly difficult to get parts for and expensive to fix.

That's what our boiler bloke does.
