Yippee! Eight of my boozy mate's and me are off on the train to the motorcycle show tomorrow! I'm really looking forward to it, we are such an odd mix of people, Paul the youngest is 26, me the oldest 57, a scattering of ages in between. We shall start drinking on the train at 10 o'clock in the morning, three or four tinnies before we get to Birmingham, go to the NEC sit on all the motorcycles and visit all the bars. Then down to the Rocket at Coventry for some more Guinness in the evening, then try to catch the train home if we're sober enough. What a crack!
