    Lol won't even need to be on boards. You'll just hear a scream in the distance somewhere.

    Phew, mop gone and a bit of peace and quiet at last (only joking mop, we know you're still watching!)

    Anyway, everyone knows the secret handshake for the big day, right? ;-)

    The one to know if who you are speaking to is a boardie or to know if they are a peeler in the making?

    If Dutch's username has anything to go by I don't want to know what handshake he has been practising :)

    Would some of you like to do the rest of us a favour when you're in there?

    Would you be ever so kind and attempt to milk out the figures from some of the staff, im sure this would be ever so greatfully appreciated by the rest of us! :P

    Hahaha cheeky bugger, I'm sure there would be someone keen enough for a Dutch Rudder handshake (not that I'd be the one to give it to them, don't think the gf would be best pleased, nor would I for that matter!) I had my eyes lasered recently so I'll be the one with the scary/minging eyes lol

    Also, has everyone phoned yet to confirm their hotel reservation (ie details of guests and car registrations?)

    I think all of us are interested to see how many have been taken on by now! Very interested to see the size of Intake 4 since there's been about 100-120 in so far I think. Plenty of places left for people :)

    Fist bump with left hand. Shake hands with right. Wearing a pink carnation in buttonhole and a trilby. Begin the conversation with "Do you know the shipping forecast?" The reply being "Full dutch rudder"

    Don't think that includes those who would've just started from intake 3 though so if there's 30 odd of them then that's 100 and then however many that's in intake 4 but there's still LOADS of places left it seems :)
