Boys...a little story to put a smile on your face. Every day that I feel like it's going a bit slow, or I just want to be able to do things a bit faster, I am reminded of the one night Tom and I spent in a 'dry ice' factory. We were drafted in at v short notice (University holidays) and had to travel to Crawley to a factory for a 12 hour night shift. We thought it may be interesting and earnt us as much as £80 tax free! It turned out that a machine had broken and all we had to do for the next half a day was to catch a small block of dry ice that shot down a conveyor belt every 3 seconds and put it onto another conveyor belt. That was it. After an hour, we had both dropped so many blocks, that we were stood in dry ice and started to get cold feet (literally). By about 3 in the morning, we were both delirious and fairly close to tears, but Tom simply said to me "Trumpet......your time will come!" The next few hours passed and our time came. We took the money and (I think) spent it on some after shave from a bloke in Oxford Sreet with a suitcase....but that's another story. So whenever I need to show some patience, I always hear those famous words "your time will come". Come on Ferkins (Nutkins) Socrates (Trumpet) out.

Dear Andy and Guy, Have enjoyed keeping track of your daily progress on your web page and the Woodvale website, sorry i have not been on the blog much lately. We all think you are doing absolutely fantastic, keep it up. Top Gun happened to be on tv the other night and when that volleyball scene came on with the cheesy Kenny Loggins song, it reminded me of when we were in Zanzibar playing volleyball, that was truly amazing. The one question is, do you remember who The Hammer was?! I have to say, the starting price on the Spearmint Rhino cards sounds a bargin, not that i would ever go to such a place, cough cough! Loved the previous blog about Trumpet catching ice every 3 seconds. They should do that as community service punishment! Just in case you are wondering, my dad and i did not go to Rome luckily. What a shambles that was, you did not miss much. Well, i certainly picked the right final last year. Anyway, keep it up boys and i will be back soon. Over and out, Andy C AKA The Chorltinator
