    There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.

            Much more Hazel.
            Every boat = 2 hours sleep
            Every time you stop you have a choice - eat or sleep
            Arrived MK at 06.15 and left at 18.45 = 11 hours straight sleep + another 4 when I got to Carnryan (arrived at 02.00 boat sailed at 07.30)
            But I do like my coffee

                      Your the one that pulled out in front of me and went about 100 yards down the road and then stopped and turned left causing a 10 mile tailback.
                      BTW nice shorts - lycra suits you.
