Final details for Old Farts v Whippersnappers week-end...................

[chrisd]

I'm really sorry Rob, I know how much you enjoy this meet

 

[JohnnyDee]

Have messages out to few mates Rob who I know are good guys and who would be happy to pay if they can make it. I'll keep you posted although the short notice is against us I'd say.

 

[irip]

Smiffy, i know i give you plenty of stick on here (and receive plenty back) but i am truly gutted mate.

Any chance we can all phone up tomorrow and book a test drive with a salesman for Monday, all proper names and stuff. get you out all day showing us your nice new motors.

That was my idea too Ian - we all place orders with Rob and then get him to fail us on the finance later in the week.

Desperate measures for desperate situations 👀👀

 

[virtuocity]

Crap stuff Rob. Really sorry mate.

 

[Khamelion]

Well on the bright side there's more breakfast sausages for the rest of us.

Gutted for you Smiffy, we'll make sure the auld Pharts don't get to much of a drubbing

 

[rosecott]

Looking for a last minute replacement for me. Cost? Feck all.
I have PM'd Jim (Rosecott) as he may have somebody so got to give him first crack but if anyone has got a mate who could make it at short notice, please let me know.

I had taken the precaution of having let Smiffy know that had a late substitute ready for action in the event of a late withdrawal. I never for a moment thought that he would be needed for the blessed Rob. I am personally extremely gutted as the Gainsborough event's cancellation means that I will miss the spectacle of Rob hanging out the window fagging it at 5 in the morning. I am hoping that the late substitute I have arranged will be a "Fart Ringer*

 

[GB72]

Also I hear booze is expensive there.... do we resort to student trick of ordering cokes and have a bottle whisky under the table?

Not sure but as a member of a golf club in the same hotel chain my members card may get beer price reductions there like I get at Belton Woods.

 

[ruff-driver]

Gutted for you rob, pull a sickie mush, who the hell buys a car on a monday ?
surely thursday is giro day :smirk:

 

[Blue in Munich]

Gutted for you mate, I was really looking forward to our game on Sunday.

 

[Crow]

What a bummer Rob!

I can't believe they'd do this to you, especially Mrs Long-weekend, she must be a right so and so.

The weekend won't be the same without you but we'll do our best to uphold the honour of the OFs.

Wow - all the drinks on you then!!!

 

[Dando]

Gutted you can't make it mate given the effort you put in getting everything sorted

 

[GG26]

Just seen this, gutted for you Rob especially after all the work you have put into the meet. We will try and uphold the honour of the Farts (or at least not get drubbed as badly as last year!).

 

[Smiffy]

Even a decent nights sleep hasn't made me feel any better.

 

[SteveW86]

Awful news Rob! You will be missed.

 

[Smiffy]

Awful news Rob! You will be missed.

I'm just annoyed that in the 4 months March-June she has taken 6 week-ends off

 

[Region3]

I had to cancel time off I'd booked to play in an open a couple of weeks ago and I was fuming. I can only imagine how much worse this feels :angry:

Gutted you can't make it Rob.

 

[Radbourne2010]

Gutted for you Rob! Sounds very dodgy to me, especially as you'd booked it so far in advance.

Personal thanks for all your hard work over the past year getting this arranged.

One silver lining for you. The fixed odds you got last week at 25-1 on a Farts victory look fantastic compared to today's 5-1. Well done you

Even a decent nights sleep hasn't made me feel any better.

 

[teegirl]

So sorry for you Rob, looking forward to the meet so much and you were the icing on the cake ...... the cherry on the top ...... it just wont be the same

Time to change job and buy a tackle shop
