He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd, and rouse him at the name of St Tough Guy.
He that shall live this day, and see old age, will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
and say 'Tomorrow is St Tough Guy'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, and say 'These wounds I had on St Tough Guy day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, but he'll remember, with advantages, what feats he did that day. Then shall our names, familiar in his mouth as household words- Richard the Ironman, Spansie the Amazon, Cougie the Northerner, Gavo the Scouser, Count the Lardy, Babsie the Babe, Tigs the Dipso and Fat Bud Fit the Porker, 'dillo the Huntress, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester- be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son; and Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, from this day to the ending of the world.
But we in it shall be remembered- we few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me, shall be my brother; be he ne'er sole,
This day shall gentle his condition; and gentlemen in England now-a-bed shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

WHAT PANIC!!!!?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<BIG GROUP HUG>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Was the plan not to bring a few beers for the bunkhouse? I'll get a few in anyway - hardly not gonna get drunk with this shower is it?
Looks a bit posh, that's all - not like a bunkhouse at all!
no panic, just information sharing!!!
want to go home and start packing now but have just missed my train so have another 15mins to wait...
Look out for a little green machine!
)))
What japes!
(Just to let you know that it's not going to be easy for us spectators, either - it might actually rain!)
You won't pick on me on the day will you Spansy?
Where did I leave that life insurance stuff....
at least I've got a Speedo and a swimming cap - what about sandals for the shower gents?
