Don't worry though Raf mate there'll be plenty of us still around on the Sunday to catch up with you whenever and wherever suits you best!!

......of course you are MORE than welcome on the Saturday too as well (or instead?) I just thought you wanted the Saturday with Mrs. Raf and a smaller GTG on the Sunday?

Sorry if I've messed up at all Raf mate but if Sunday is best for you and if you have a definite time you'd like to meet I'm positive the guys and I can arrange something a bit special for you?!

To be honest mate not knowing your itinerary or commitments I was kind of leaving the Sunday open so that we could be 'on call' whenever and wherever suited you if that makes sense??

Please let me know your thoughts mate and I'll happily take things from there.....
I will have both days free and we can go with the flow, I have learned my lesson with booking trains home too early on Sunday and missing out on the Sunday Secondary GTG which never seems to disappoint.

Looks like this one will be a good one chaps

Seriously Mark it'll be awesome if you can make it......
I seem to remember that you spilt your pint over me the last time. Perhaps scuba gear would be in order. That's if I can squeeze myself into it.

Can you arrange for some warm weather this time ?

I notice you didn't offer to pay my tab if I wear my kilt!

Is that 'cos you're worried I'd bankrupt you or do you just not want to be seen buying drinks for a man wearing a skirt?!?

I've bought drinks for a 6' 4" transvestite dressed as a horse in onea the busiest bars in London before Mark mate, so drinking with some Scottish fella wearin' a skirt doesn't scare me!!

Then again I don't really fancy doing the bankruptcy thing again so maybe I'll let you win that one.....

I spoke with Raf, he told me he wouldnt be in Sweden till the 24th. Unfortunately, I have a wedding in North Carolina on the 25th so i wont make the Sweden GTG. Might be there before the London GTG though.

Dan, I just booked my room at the tower arriving Friday leaving Monday. I cant wait!
