    Kurt - please don't injure her...........she has suffered enough on this "holiday" already.

    Nevermind that, I'm just glad to see you made it back to the land of the living. Half expected a "Where's CW?" thread all day :D

    Anyone who is available, Dory will be completing her Irish backwards triathlon with a swim at the NAC tomorrow at 3pm, featuring an IM race over 100m. All boardsies welcome to try out for title of "Can't even get arms out of water attempting fly".

    I could have arranged a free swim in a 50m pool for you in a much more salubrious part of Dublin ;)

    We're not tied down to the NAC... which is 25m format tomorrow in any case... is your offer still good? :)

    I've got three passes on my desk that you're welcome to have. Not sure if I can get anymore passes before tomorrow so don't know if that suits you. I probably wont be able to swim at that time but will be around to give you the passes. Let me know what suits.

    ^ See above, moving this to UCD pool (and only 3 passes going I'm afraid... don't know if you can pay in or not?).

    There will be drinks later in the evening (not sure on venue though, no-one can decide yet! But will post it here when decided)

    I'll see if I can get another pass for CM. I'll post in the morning. Anymore than this and I'll have problems getting more passess (pay as you go is not an option for public).

    Don't anyone get their hopes up about a duel in the pool with the shape I'm in! The Ballyhoura lads can tell you I was nearly broken out there after I fell and wrenched my already-injured-left-leg-at-Donadea knee (complete with a pop/snap) when I fell off the bike at just over the halfway point in the ride. It was not pretty, and ended up having to walk the bike (using it as a crutch) very slowly the remainder of the way back down the mountain. It was cold and at times very miserable, but bless Oryx's little heart, she stayed with me chatting all the while to take my mind off my my woes. (ok, she was hating life on the bike so this was the excuse she was looking for to hop off the blasted thing!) But more to come on all that and all the other players in my yet to be written report(s). Fabulous group of people!!! ;)

    All I've got to say is, good thing I'm not flying the airplane this morning - I'd never be able to keep it upright! :eek::o

    Fantastic 6 days, concluding with a hilarious Fat Tuesday (no, Tunney, that is not a reference to you ;)) celebration at The Market Bar. So many wonderful people and memories from start to finish....a few very strange photos (nice veins, Bambaata)....and I honestly hate to leave. Thanks for making me feel so welcome here....you all are truly lovely (yes, Tunney, that reference includes you too)!!
