its alright i have this problem

whether to wear long or short socks.
If i wear logn socks then i have to wear my racing shorts
If i wear short socks then i have to wear longer shorts
Long sleeved top equals no gloves
short sleeve equals gloves
But i dont wear black with blue so i have to wear pink or orange gloves unless im wearing red and i have to choose black.
But i dont wear long sleeve tops with racing shorts so thats a problem and then walshes or inov8s and my mind goes bonkers

Tom......take yourself to the nearest hospital/police station and declare yourself a nutter under the mental health act and that they should lock you up and keep you in a straight jacket.

no it wouldnt cos you wouldnt have anything else to compliment it. you cant have one big bit that is the main focus its the little details that count

I'm thinking about going as a full on chap. Possibly including pipe and deerstalker.

Hey, never know, you might get lucky!:D

Try the hostel. Rather foolishly they've accepted 10 of us in there so far. www.vividevents.co.uk (or .org, or .com, or summat).

Have just contacted Lakeland spice, they can take a Maximum of 32 downstairs, we no doubt will loose a few before the date but we will gain one or two;) just make sure if you say yes you mean yes!
The surprise half way round needs the exact numbers or it may be difficult to get right?????
