Thanks to Neil & Paul for offering to 'comit' with me. 2007 would seem a sensible bet.
We can discuss soon.
Neil , I,ll see you at Oxford.
Paul , when are you next out on a run ?
;)
Will have a chat about it sometime during the Oxford trip.:D
Got some ideas and done a wee bit research already.:D:)
Neil.:D:D:D
Sorry I'll miss this year's Borders Run, I'm leaving for a week on Mull the day before. Have a good one - last year was great.
Good man , that's a good starter for 'bar' chat down Oxford way :approve::)Quote:

One question for you though... How does one spend an entire week on Mull and not get bored sh*tless?;)
Sorry for the delay folks but we will definately be there. Looking forward to it. Borders Run was our first run last year and it's one i wont forget in a hurry. S

Bored? BORED?? Oh ye of closed minds... The whole point is BREATHING SPACE! Being able to sit on yer own rock on a fanatastic beach, looking over to Jura, bit of accoustic Zeppelin on the CD, bottle of Fraoch and a big cheese roll... a paddle in sea (that's PADDLE, not a 'typo'), not a design or printing deadline in sight... Wee drive down to Fionnphort, ferry to Iona, walk over to the West beaches. A good blether with folks you meet, lunch in the cafe, fail to successfully chat up the girls there (it's traditional, but I live in hope). Back to my Self Catering apartment (same views as the beach) for my tea, or I might go into the hotel itself (Ardachy House Hotel, Uisken - highly recommended!) and spoil myself with a 3-course slap-up and a nice bottle of wine.
Remember, you don't always have to be “doing something”, sometimes the chance to do “nothing” for a week is worth a fortnight of allegedly “interesting” holiday activities.... I've never been bored, sh*tless or otherwise on Mull. I suppose it's all to do with whether you need to be entertained, or can entertain yourself. You either get it or you don't (as the actress said to the Bishop).
Here ends this month's ELF-ILOSOPHY workshop. Inner Peace to you all, brothers and sisters. Oh, and I forgot to mention, the good roads give you the chance to roast the t*ts off the MINI. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to meditate. See you in Nirvana (come as you are), or on the Oxford Run!
OHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... OHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... VROOOM! VROOOOOM! OHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...
Sounds good to me Elfman :approve:

Neil and Lorna:D:D
And I have to admit, Lenore and generally holiday in our caravan. We find a quiet spot with no distractions, we read and generally chill out for the majority of the time.
Not one for a package holiday to Costa Del/we'll-organise-everything-from-where-you-eat-to-where-you-sh*t.;)
Lovely photos, Neil - I can hear Mendelssohn as I type! Aye, it's all coming out now, eh? Seems I'm not alone after all. As 'Robinson Crusoe' said: “There were people on my Island”. And as Euan said “B*gg*er off, I want some peace & quiet! And you can forget yer 'Man Friday', I'll have 'Girl All Week' if you don't mind!” (cue old Robinson Crusoe TV theme music - bet you're all too young to remember THAT! "White Horses" anybody? "The Double Deckers" no? Oh B*ll*cks. "Banana Splits"? I give up.
"The Double Deckers" & the "Banana Splits" were my Saturday morning diet when I were a lad :approve:Quote:

Did anybody spot the subtle irony of me seeking 'peace and tranquility' on Mull..... and then disturbing it at high revs? Hmmm. Well, they have the 'Tour of Mull' Rally every year - probably think one of the competitors is doing a Recce.
There's nothing "subtle" about a full Play Mini system. :D:DQuote:
