It's Friday woo hoo!!!!!!!!!

[lizardfish]

<font color='#810541'>I am hopefully going on a night dive to reward myself after a busy week spent researching the effects of seismic studies on marine mammals, for the Ministry of the Environement in Bermuda and liasing with reporters to get a story out about it, and being on the news on TV after I broke the story in my own message board! Phhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeew.

OK... well anyway - yeah I am going diving! First time in 2 months. I have been too chicken to get in the water cos it is 70F and I only have a shortie that fits me. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

It has been a most exciting week here in BDA.

Still unsure who I'll support, think it'll my cousins across the border as you've had a real slating in the Auzzi press. come on you &quot;Anglo-Saxan Half Breads&quot;. Then an early start on Sunday to Vobster to get wet.

<font color='#000F22'>Actually - the club colours are red and black - suitably eccentric.

FYI - The Eccentric Flamingoes are Edinburgh's oldest cricket club - established in 1868 and only have one rule.

1. Players shall not be selected on grounds of ability.

Lucky really

This eve shall be ensconced interviewing a rather insouciant bottle(s) of white; followed by giving my stomach the pleasure of an examination of some of the finest Chinese my local take-away can muster; then a good film, whilst my good lady wife, Fiona, drapes herself across me and we snuggle-up; followed by falling asleep on the couch - only to be woken up when the Rugger begins in the AM and a full Anglaise on a plate and lashings of hot, black coffee. Time between match's end and midday - snoozing!

Show me the whole is this picture?!

I'm a man of simple pleasure - possibly because I'm a simple man??! &nbsp;

Enjoy folks, and have a good weekend; let's hope we are here tomorrow (OK, with the exception of Kelly Esq) waxing knowledgeable about England's spanking of the Deportees!!

I didn't realise Landies were in season.  

I say we should ban hunting of Landies, but then I live in a town and probably don't understand how the hunting of four wheel drive vehicles provides employment for a whole community.

EDIT

oooooh, just noticed that this was my 99th post on YD, I will thus spend the weekend (inbetween enjoying quality time with my family and entertaining the visiting in-laws) by trying to think of a suitably entertaining and thought provoking post to celebrate my century.

Yep, puce is the new beige and Landies are the new 'Transit Vans' &nbsp;

&nbsp;You townies are all the same, wanting to ban everything us simple country folk do for entertainment. &nbsp;You'll want us to stop shooting foxes and deer next. &nbsp;We haven't got the luxury of satelite tv like you rich buggers. &nbsp;A good night out for us starts with somebody slinging a badger into a sack. &nbsp;OH and otters taste horrible, oily, bitter meat. &nbsp;Doesn't compare to donkey.

Hi all

At the moment i am practicing drinking lager ready for the Rugby. Tomorrow after watching ENGLAND win i will be going to Whitstable museum for the opening of our 50 Years of BSAC presentation, which has been set up by our branch founder, at this top museum, which has won international awards for Preserving Diving History, at the home of Diving.

Whitstable museum

In conjunction with the Historic Diving Society

The Historic Diving Society

Sunday i will be at Larkfield Lakes helping another club who have no instructors, teaching DL skills followed by some frantic exam revision for a test on Monday (Damn Immigration Act 1971 and all its amendments )

So quite busy, but all on a high as England will be World Champions  

Dive Safe
