Maybe following Lucys advice about beer und soft men?<br><br>By the way, what is with the German men and their mullets. I haven't see hair that flamboyant since my brother in law pitched up at the Binnies wedding (circa early 90s) looking like a Bay City Rollers tribute band.

... to see the sun rise over the Irish Sea...but I think i would have appreciated the sleep more!<br><br>It was off the boat at Liverpool, where I had 3 1/2 hours to get to the bus station. It took me about 45 minutes to get there (including a stop for a cornish pasty for breakfast) but i was so knackered that I couldn't be ***** looking around, so I just killed the time in the bus station. 5 1/2 hours on the bus, then about 50 minutes on the tube and I was back home!

... lots of places to get yourself killed...such as on the stone walls, trees and hedges that the riders shoot past at over 200mph...<br><br>My lap of the track was really cool, but the best part of all was the Mountain Road section. When it is open to the public during the two week TT period, it operates as a one way road, meaning you can take some fast lines...whilst obeying the speed limit of course!<br>The views from Snaefell mountain out over Douglas towards ...

... and I couldn't believe how fast they were flying past! At this part of the track, the riders were hitting around 160mph (~260kph) then accelerating up the hill, where I could see them lifting the front wheel in the distance! It certainly made for some good viewing.<br>I made my way up to the area where the podium place getters arrive after the race, and saw a few famous faces around, including Murray Walker (ex F1 commentator), then went and watched the podium presentation from the ...

It's hard to desribe what it's like seeing them, but it was certainly very impressive!<br><br>In the evening Chris and I went down to the Braddan Bridge grandstand and got some good shots of the riders leaning right over through the corners.<br>

It was a good evening out, and Chris and Sam were very kind and gave me dinner and bought me some beers too.<br><br>Eventually I hit the hay at about 1:30, and I was asleep before my head hit the pillow as I was that knackered.<br>

After this period, I plan to take up work full time, raise as much money as I can until Christmas time, when I plan to take my girlfriend to Greece for a week. Then over the following months, I hope to travel, return to work and repeat as much as possible. So far I have; e ...

... we decided to indulge in a lazy day and watched BBC's 'Pride and Prejudice', which we had started the night before (after talking about my trip to Bath and our mutual love of Jane Austen and Mr. Darcy!). On Saturday evening, we were invited to join five of Katie's friends for a sushi party. As it turned out, I was the only one who knew how to roll sushi (thanks to Fiona!) and taught the others how it was done. We had a wonderful night filled with good ...

... voyage tire sur sa fin! Le 14, retour a Glasgow pour que je reparte le 15 vers Ottawa. Etant donne que Zoom airlines a fait kaput, j'ai du me racheter un autre billet et c'etait le moins cher. Heureusement que mes parents se sont ennuyes assez pour accepter de venir me chercher a 2h30 de route.
