    JB, Wilkie - have you received any confirmation in writing about your race entry? I haven't heard a peep and wonder if it will just be a case of finding out whether i'm entered or not when I turn up to get my number.

    Hi folks - it's getting closer :)

    Dil, I've not had anything except a confirmation email that I have paid 9 Euros. I'm hoping that one of the reference numbers on that will tie up with my race number when I go to collect it.

    I tried to get a letter from my doctor. He wanted to do a full medical exam, at a cost of £150. Time to start a career in forgery, I think!

    That is a bit steep Wilkie! Haven't received any confirmation as I sent my entry by post. How old fashioned!

    I'm having to rethink my plans for pb glory here as just not getting enough training in. I got out for a lovely 7.5 miles first thing in the middle of a summer storm. No idea why I enjoyed it as much as I did! The onus will definately be on the social and catching up with you lovely people over Le T weekend! :)

    I'll get a pb Rach - if only because I've never done a 20k race before :) As long as it's faster than my half marathon time, it'll do.

    I've been running a fair amount, but had to cut short my last long run - it was just too hot last Sunday. I went out at 5.15 am earlier in the week, and that was wonderful.

    whoops - partaking in this event looks increasingly in doubt.

    Quarter final kicks off at 4 p.m. on 1st July and will be between the winners of the last 16 game between the winners of Group B (likely to be Ing-er-land) v the runners up of Group A (either Germany of Ecuador), and the winners of the last 16 game game between the runners-up of Group C (any one of Argentina, Ivory Coast, Serbia and Montenegro and Holland - pick any one you like there!) and the winners of Group D (likely to be Portugal or Mexico.)

    So it could be In-ger-land v the Argies, the Dutch, or Portugal (amongst others).

    Footy v running - there can only be one winner!

    Sad, so sad. I had thought of you as a man of action Snoop, rather than a voyeur ;-)

    where the World Cup/Champions League and England/Arsenal are concerned, it's always the footy.

    but if they don't get that far, I'll be at Le T!

    Blimmin French - can't organise a race around an importnat footy match to save their lives!

    ..and a little bit of voyeurism doesn't go amiss.

    ...update alert...

    England on course to meet either the Argies or the Dutch at 4 p.m. on 1st July, IF we have any strikers fit, and IF Becks attempts to move his ass when defending corners.

    Good old Sven - a real tactician, to the end.

    Does this mean you won't be joining us for the pleasures of Le T, Snoop?

    Rach - have you got your keyboard sorted out?
  • Options
    Like there was a problem with the keyboard! ;-)

    Snoop DoggSnoop Dogg ✭✭✭
    now didn't you see last night's game then, Ms W?

    after Beck's performance, and seeing we only have one lanky 8 foot kid as a striker left, I reckon its well odds-on I'll be there.
  • Options
    Back on a French keyboard now and yes I did eventually sober up! Well I was hardly going to work an 18 hour day without a fair bit of fizz to keep me going! ;)

    Haven't done much running recently. I think I'll be aiming to do a 2hr training run at Le T.... and a bit of Salsa later if Jelly can remember the moves!! :)

    Snoop, I didn't watch - couldn't you guess? And you know you want to come to Le T.

    Rach, two hours is probably what I can manage, too. As for the salsa, I'll watch from a safe distance :)

    Well how are my fellow Touquites this morning? Any excitement to report? Anyone caught crabs or won the lottery?
  • Options
    Snoop DoggSnoop Dogg ✭✭✭
    nothing as exciting as that, Beanyman!

    off to Royal Ascot tomorrow, 20/20 cricket at Arundel on Tuesday, and Henley Regatta on Thursday - I'm going to be SO fat by the time the following weekend arrives with all that food and 'poo consumed!

    2hrs 10 mins for me.

    No excitement here either, I should be out working but I'm a bit sore afetr a 10k last night. I don't expect much improvement by Le T, looking to the Autumn/winter now......of course this means the post race festivities will be given full attention but I'll be aiming to miss the hat-trick of room spinning! :)
  • Options
    2 hrs 10 mins? I reckon I could push you around in a wheelbarrow faster than that Snoop, maybe I'll have to after that week of indulgence!

    Will there be room for a TV set in that wheel barrow? If so Snoop might take you up on that. :) Morning Tiger how are you?

    Snoop DoggSnoop Dogg ✭✭✭
    But if you're off to Ascot as well, you'll be a bit of a pudding too!
  • Options

    No crabs, no lottery win, no Ascot, no cricket, no Henley. Oh dear, no excuse for a poor performance! I'll have to think of something....

    Pudding? I think you mean voluptuous, Snoop ;)

    Wilkie, a couple of bottles of rose at the pre-race lunch should sort you out! :)

    Where's everyone else? Is Rach still shifting furniture?
