I'm in the top 100 still...

I've managed to beat the drop for yet another GP

Thank God I put that point on Bomber... Saved my blushes a bit!

Can't believe I'm not going to have my annual chat with you, Rabs But I'll stay away from them air horns just for you! Nasty things...

Myself, Jenn, Beesboybert, Sir Jasper, Skybluebee and many many more shall be attending the Prince of Wales, amongst other hostelries, for an afternoon of drinking. Arriving about 10am - And to anyone that remembers last year, I promise not to break my hand this time round

You're only one letter off...

It's a decent enough start to the new GP season - at least I'm above buzzy

I went to Gelsenkirchen for the World Cup last summer. Have to agree that the town itself is quite poor. We stayed in Essen, much nicer and more to do/see.

Congratulations to GLSDiamond. I suppose I'm going to have to hand my crown over to you now I'll be back fer it next year though...

...The lesser known B-Side from Hanson

I felt myself welling up... All that hard work! But now I have a new challenge - to beat you! 2 GP's left, and I've got 25k to make up.

Oh bugger

Me and Archie have just booked our flights out there. Going Friday morning, coming back Sunday night

And they were nowhere near good enough either
