nice avatar btw, looks very much like you !

where did you get it from

[thegoth 5]

The common concensus at the rolling road day was: "yes", "at Easter", "no I'm not bloody camping!"

For all you none christians, Easter is 6 - 9 April.

Phew, Lothian that's a way away. In fact prossibly double the distance us southern monkeys have to go.

Anyway, I'm all booked!

Speedferries are currently selling open saver tickets for £29 (each way) which you can ammend for free to the appropriate sailings once a plan is in place.

And for accomodation I've booked here:

http://bookings.net/hotel/de/hotelzumgoldenenfasschen.html?aid=304264;label=osm_region1479_en;sid=a7b8a32f60aa042e338960c3762d37a8

I stayed there on my first ever trip and couldn't fault it. Admittadly it's not inside the 'Ring but it's only a short cruise away (< 15miles) and superb value. IIRC our food and bar bill 8-) came to more then the rooms.

Obviously, being a goth, I won't mind if everyone else wants to go for the full 'Ring experiance and stop in Nurburg or Adenau. I can always meet up in the car park (queue).

---Edit---

The speedferry deal finishes on Jan 3rd.

booking my ferry as we speak ,and will amend it later. got me passenger and might book the hotel, sort of spreads the cost.

Oh I realy want to go.... but I bet it will be moving day for our new house :-(

I could take the car while Mark's sleeping and come on my own :-)

[jims13 6]

do it donna, mark will never no ^o)

has he got the fk's on yet?, i see it back from the bodyhsop, which lower spolier did he go with?

[Earwig 89]

do it donna' date=' mark will never no ^o)

[/quote']

Got nothing on as yet..... :-(

Still waiting on my hEadlights now with the Indicators in as my bumper now has no fogs/inicators in. When I do though I will just go for the regular deep spoiler as it's cheap to replace if/when it gets torn off :-)

Since Donna does not let me play the ring............ I may check out the Nurburg offering of the ring instead ;-)

I am confidant I will be there, even if donna is to move into our house on her own ! Ohhh did I say that out loud ? :-)

Mark.

[jims13 6]

[craggsy 91]
