Pauls meeting minutes

Note: Rob (the one with a chicken’s foot for a hand) has not carried out any of the actions listed below. I have been struggling with the crippling disability of having a prosthetic chicken’s foot grafted to my arm.
I am confident that I should be able to complete the actions this week however as I now has a selection of new 'hands' with which to work (see photo). Next problem is to find some of those long gauntlet type motorcycles gloves. May have to ask the burd to knit me some.

Breaking News - Carp Boy Signs for Poultry fun

Cwmbran, South Wales:

Alun Trueman has definatley signed for next years CCRI expedition.

Initially offering a 90% chance of joining the team and recently moving to 92%, Trueman, codename CarpBoy, discovered 11 days holiday he didn't know he had. This means his family commitments can take a back seat for 8 days in the Emerald Isle to join the expedition in 09.

"This is great news" quipped Gollobski (AKA Paul Henshaw), " To be honest, I was having some concerns about only 2 of us going. Maintaining the level of piss taking required between only 2 of us would have been difficult, now Al is coming we have a great source of inspiration"

Planning for the trip continues, Ebay is being checked regularly for bikes (if anyone out there can help please do)

Possible starting and stop off points are being contacted and Irish Radio stations too for support during the trip.

Stay Tuned for more winged fun
