let me know if you find anywhere to park

did try one of those websites where people rent out their own drives etc but no answer - so had a look on google street view to see if I could find a street without permit parking. best I found so far looked to be west drive, not too far away but no idea if dodgy or not

just in case it starts getting dark the design is on the back and is reflective

The wheel design's on spreadshirt.co.uk - will post a link as soon as I can get onto site and make it publicly available

[edit] here's the link http://637217.spreadshirt.co.uk/
don't forget - if you want a 5% discount code just ask the helpdesk people anything via email and there'll be a link in their reply

if there's anyone left out there that wants to sponsor me - I'm having my race plate made up early next week (see below)
everyone that sponsors me before the weekend's up gets their name added to the plate, no matter what the amount

why not go without one pint this weekend and instead give it to Rob 'Tower of Strength' Pickle's bum hospital? after all you never know when you'll have to visit Dr. Jellyfinger...

cheers

griff

pickle · « **Reply #110 on:** September 05, 2011, 10:20 AM »

still plenty of time for peeps to bung us a few quid sponsorship

links to the justgiving pages are on page 1.................any amount however small is all welcome

griff · « **Reply #111 on:** September 06, 2011, 08:40 PM »

my t-shirt arrived today - looks fookin ace
can't tell from the crappy phone pic but the reflective material really catches the light (had to turn light off & use a torch as using a flash just wouldn't work!)

pickle · « **Reply #112 on:** September 06, 2011, 09:09 PM »

That's cool john.......i hope this Fooking weather gets better though!

me too! forecast has changed again, now says 'scattered showers & wind' instead of 'partly cloudy' (I preferred the last one)

griff · « **Reply #122 on:** September 07, 2011, 01:35 PM »

just had a look at latest weather forecast..........

then tried another site for a second opinion.....

I hope they're both wrong as currently they're saying Brighton's gonna have heavy rain and 30mph winds on Sunday

pickle · « **Reply #123 on:** September 07, 2011, 01:39 PM »

yeah it's not looking great weather wise John $:-\$

i think one forecast had thunder in there as well somewhere along the way

spike371 · « **Reply #124 on:** September 07, 2011, 02:18 PM »
