Paul, I'm going to try and get time off but it's 'Old Firm' game that day so I'm not holding out much hope. Guess that means I owe the Red Rocket a tenner. Mind you, that's the only way he's beat me up a hill - by default! Laughing

Oh, and I've not really lost 2 stone, it would be good if I could Smile

I was beginning to think that castration was taking things to an extreme to win a hill climb Twisted Evil

If I thought it would make that big a difference I'd go for it Laughing

old firm game!looks like i could be struggling for time off as well ,might need to call in favours.(knew i would get a least one excuse)

In that case Derek, just offer to do some 'undercover' police bike work in Larkhall on the day, bound to be some trouble at some point if its an old firm game! Very Happy

Got the time off work sorted for this one, but I don't want anyone running scared - not been training coz I've been unwell. I think it might be swine flu.... polis are particularly susceptable! Rolling Eyes
