Wading around in wellies is fine by me, but Hels! You can go swimming if you like, me dear, but I'll be sitting on the bank watching/taking blackmail photographs for use on the O/T. :twisted: Heheheh! :lol:

Might have to get some sort of remote trigger for the camera then, what with having no free hands at the time when Mr Robson is due to 'accidentally' fall in. :twisted:

there is nothing like camping out by a nice river and going for a refreshing swim :D

especially if Graeme is volunteering himslef to get dunked.

another need for the laptop and webcam, with a plastic bag over them. actally, would a waterproof covering be advised should there be a book party too?

Right! That's the last time I volunteer to help you then! All I said was that I would have my hands full - that was when I was going to try and stop you from falling in when Mark and Hels gave you the push, of course. But now I'll definitely be helping them.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Hels, please explain your waterproofing comments re: the book party! :?

is the book launch not worthy of a bottle of champagne?

and Graeme's idea of booking up somewhere under the name of a certain other fish group's name in case the place wont let us back could suggest he is in need of a good party.

Do you know, I read that as wedgie first time around. :roll: Yes, of course we will reserve one for you. :D

Peterborough has an outside Lido place. Supposedly freezing even when we are in the throws of a hot summer. So if you wish to take a dip in the winter Hels, be my guest! :lol:
