This good/bad news monday

Post by takeyourbreak »

Lets forget about Monday just now and enjoy our very short weekend. Hopefully its going to be a good one. I will be heading down to my local pub to watch Scotland in their battle to get to euro 2008. No doubt be steamboats and even better if my dads horse wins the 2.10 York........

Paintballing on Sunday with my son and some workmates. Did hope that dumb & dumber (AL/AC) and a load of managers from our place would turn up, but that's called being tooooooo much of an optimist, oh well one can only hope :pray

Let's all let our hair down :crazy: and worry about Monday on Monday.

A few jars and watch the rugby league tonight. No offence to any RU fans, but it's a game I lost interest in when I discovered rugby league. Anyway, whatever next week brings, we can say we all stuck together, and if need be, we'll bloody well do it again!
