This colour stuff is all well and and good for us "southerners", but for those of you who do not realise its all black and white up north.
Even Wallace and Gromit was made down south.

Ill from London
On 2/14/2002 Clingfilm wrote in from (194.154.nnn.nnn)

Well what a lot goes on.
I'mm looking forward to meeting another Chris, How many slalomers are called Chris, thank god Charalambous can't make it. If we meet in the semis I'm going to scream, if my throat holds.
I've set up two new boards for Sheffield. Blackbird with Turner truck at the back and fulnose with recessed indy's on the back, both currently have a Rad pad there, thanks Ian, to liven them up. I may remove this as they seem fairly lively.

We seroiusly need names of those flying in to London to get them "Up-North". We can hire a van if necessary. I am happy to co-ordinate this. Email me if you want a lift or if you have room in your car. I have two or three spaces at the moment if Paul K is in mine.

I understand psYchOLlyod's problem with my states visit.

Good luck
Chris

Just in....Turner Downhill are generously donating a deck as a prize (amongst other things) for Sheffield. Now, how do I win that back? Just kidding, whoever wins the deck will be a very happy bunny. Enjoy!
