We are very doubtful. We will make it if we possibly can though.

I've done 9. Each is filled withthe kind of pseudo-hipster bullshit of which I am particularly fond.

Pshah! I have always had a high regard for the quality and consistency of Django's comps, and trust he will save me your copy as you're obviously too cloth eared to appreciate it!




They do make quite good frisbees, though... ;)

Very sorry for wimping out and taking off after just a few hours...I was burning up and just felt like shit...must thank the step father-in-law for spoiling my trip by passing on his bloody cold :roll:

I was having a good time too...it was lovely to meet Mrs Brotherlouie again and DWD for the first time...I really wanted to stay but I felt completely lousy...I was in the bed my host gave to me by 10.30 :oops:

Thank you to Graham and J for letting us stay and for the lovely breakfasts...it was very nice...I'm sat here now in my pjamas with a Lemsip shivering away...maybe I need to put a coat on just like that Husky I saw :lol:

If there ever is a next time I'll be germ free...I promise :oops:

Not half. Jumper K, the Coos and Dave the Frisbee king were all in good health this morning, whereas I felt like I had been kicked in the head by a racehorse and poisoned both.

On the way home last night, some street punk tried to steal Dave's frisbee, but luckily Dave pulled some Bruce Lee-style "fighting without fighting" shit and won the day.

A pleasure to meet DWD properly, a gent and a very funny bloke with it.

I'll put photos up as soon as my wife explains how to get pictures off the camera and on to the computer. I actually have a photo of something never before captured by camera or the human eye: Grollope leaving.

Are we sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin:

Things Wot We Have Learnt From This Jolly-Up

* - Fake ginger moustaches vs Heilan Coo's respiratory system : Pools Panel result - home win.
* - Despite being Frisbee King and a general all-round nice-guy, Dave is indeed evil for laughing at Scotland's failure to qualify for Euro 2008. Boo hiss.
* - Mrs Django is the Queen Of The Smoothies.
* - No matter what pub in the North-West you go to, there will always be a danger of someone forcing some dodgy Style Council albums upon you.
* - Fairport Convention are twats.
* - Django's dreams of working for the Chester Tourist Board are now in tatters after the general indifference towards the Bridge Of Sighs.
* - Grollope is in fact not a real person, but a conjurer's trick, thus explaining his ability to vanish into thin air.

Ladies and gents, that was a bloody good jolly-up weekend. Good to see you all again and to meet a new face in DWD. Thanks to Weav and Jolene for putting us up and feeding us. Until York....robust? Seminal? I think so.

Apologies for disappearing after Harkers, if I'd listened to the quack, I wouldn't have turned up in the first place.

It was great to see you all again though. Who's idea was it to put all the false moustaches on DJ Ango's bonce so we could see what he used to look like? One of the great ideas we didn't follow up on - you know how Jolly-Ups go.
