Glad you enjoyed yourself in all that fresh air.

ZAP.. Yeah it was cool.. Ive got a taste for the outdoors now though so i'll have to do something with the looong weekend i've got coming up

I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something. Isn't it supposed to start raining again now that Easter is apporaching and people start to have time off work.

*crossess fingers for it to stay dry and warm for a week or so Up NOrth.*

Up north..??

Yep, I'm off to stay with my bf (otherwise known as Master B) for a bit.

Whats the B stand for..??

Master B - it's his hootoo name.

I didn't think that was your pet name for him Just wondered if the B stood for something..

Well of course it does.

Well i didn't know... Wheres everyone else today..??

Sorry, of course you didn't.

I don't know where everyone's got to, it's been quiet on-line for a few weeks now. It's probably the nice weather, everyone's decided to go out and enjoy it while it lasts.

Wish i could.. Stuck in work all day.. I feel really today aswell...

I know the feeling, I'm here until 6:30 tonight.

Have some .

Not good...

Awww, look at you both, poor things.

Out of sympathy and respect, and to show solidarity etc., I shall do some work today too

I had a good weekend too, in Bristol helping out some friends who are getting married in August.

the M word.. I was my friends best man when they got married last year.. I didn't have a clue Worst best man ever (Comic book guy style)

Aha! You can give me some tips on how not to do it, then - I'm doing the Best Man thing at this one and fully intend to enjoy it in every possible way

As long as the groom turned up and was able to stand up by himself I'm sure you were appreciated.

Dolt, don't pretend just for us, you're off to spend the afternoon sunning yourself on the beach aren't you? Not fair.

Tips huh.. Well my biggest tip would be write a speech. I thought i could get away with just standing there thinking of things to say on the spot.. How wrong i was.. Oh and don't lose the rings.. They don't like that... Even when i joked about it..

Best of all don't make a speech, your audience will appreciate and love you if you keep the proceedings as short as possible.

Oh and from a bell ringers point of view (I've rung for literally hundreds of weddings over the last mumble, mumble 12 years since I learnt to ring), if you've any influence at all tell the bride that the time has changed and she now needs to be at the church half an hour earlier. This will mean that by the time the photographer has faffed around she'll actually arrive on time.

After the ceremony shoot the photographer (or if that sounds a bit drastic at the very least remove his camera from his possession) and wave the happy couple off asap. The guests will Cheer you as a supper hero at this point, it actually means that they'll get to the reception on time. The bell ringers will also hold you in the greatest esteem because it means that they can leave on time.
