I know that you're hoping to get this going in August, just wondering if you're planing it at the start or end of August. I'll need to pencil in my holiday's shortly (by end of Feb) and I'm planning to use a week for this, and possible sneak behind the enemy lines for a week.
Might even bring me golf 'bats' along if there is a course nearby and play golf in the weekday's, and prepare for the karting in the weekend
So you're a golfist then are ya . You must be either very old or very sad.
Anyway, my aging father tells me repeatedly that Slaley Hall a few miles west of the Toon is one of the best courses in the area, but is a tad expensive. Also Hexham is good and a lot cheaper. His club Foxton, at Alnmouth (further north) is supposed to be the best seaside/coast/links (whateverthey'recalled) courses in the area. And both Stocksfield and Westerhope (both on the outskirts of Newcastle City) are fun, apparently
Heh.. tell that to my 11 year old who just bought himself a set of clubs with cash he got for his birthday And if you tell me he's very sad, don't turn up to the meet
Yeah I know a lot of people are going to be disappointed. Inconsolable, even. The phone hasn't stopped ringing today, etc.
I hopefully will turn up, I'm just not sure at the moment what I'll be doing in six months' time so I asked Bob to switch me to "possible". I didn't say "I'm definitely not coming".
If you're actually coming all the way from Germany I suppose it would be rude not to show my face - Newcastle's only a couple of hours away. If there are plenty of definites maybe I'll skip the karting and just turn up for drinks and misbehaviour later.
Its not that, I could get there easy enough. I'm pretty close to newcastle, but my parent's wouldn't approve in meeting a group of (nice) blokes(mostly) from an internet forum.
Doing lessons and test booked. Rather not say in case I phail and I don't have to have the embarrassment of telling everyone.
It isn't long now though
Jack: Just tell your parents you are going karting with some friends and you are staying over at a friends house who lives near Newcastle. You went to school with him but he moved away about 2 years ago. A mate of yours both has just passed him test and you're gonna come up and see him.
If you could get to Darlington, we could pick you up in our convey
