There was a bit in the papers this weekend about the midge population being up about 300% this year.... FOUR sleeps to go! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Dastardly Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hope you have a good time (and a dry time...well except for the gimp suit activities) It's typical s*d's law that just as I head for edinburgh you lot head for the Highlands! I might try to come down for the car show next month if there will be a few of you there with cars. I'm keen to have a poke about a finished car just to check I'm on the right lines. I've done nowt for weeks now due to work but hopefully I'll get building again soon. Anyway have fun and I'll tell the midges to show you some respect.
