EVERYONE (and I mean everyone) I had even the remotest amount of contact with is an absolute legend, all so different, all unique, all with a story to tell or an ear with which to listen. A truly fantastic time. I have never felt quite so relaxed or as happy just “be” in years.
There’s so many wonderful and incredibly uplifting not to mention hilarious things that it’s hard to mention them all, but I’d like to offer my thanks to;
- Those that recognized me from forum and made me welcome
- Those that didn’t and still made me welcome
- Those that won £2 through intelligence
- The others that punched me when they didn’t (as a “reflex” action – allegedly)
- Those that helped me find my way when I was looking lost and slightly out of my depth
- Those who helped me "bus a table"
- Those that helped me carry bags from hotel to hotel
- Those that helped me “beat” the competitors to reception (without resorting to violence)
- Those that led me to summertime bars and taunted me with a plank that smelt of petrol - whilst waiting for every bugger else
- Those that let me commentate on a duck race that had finished 5 metres and 10 minutes earlier (yeah – THANKS for that
) - Those that gave me the "scoop interview" with the winner
- Those that drank of the sheep
- Those that let me toke upon the “pipe of peace” at length, hogging it from everyone else but simply NOT caring
- Those that gave me a new pokey pokey
- Those who had the in depth and esoteric conversations resulting in real “this is the world” revelations
- Those that gave me references and remembered to send me details on texts
- Those that kept up with the unreasonable pace at which I was drinking, making me feel like less of a lush
- Anyone that bought me a drink
- Anyone who smiled when I aimed my camera at them (frequently)
- Anyone that drank “my drink” to “taste it” when I insisted over vigorously (given the number of times I proffered you became legends)
- Whoever pulled my name out of the hat and enabled me to start my ongoing relationship with PLANKY! (As is now named and whom I love dearly, despite it looking like “I’d won the FA cup”)
- Those that said I looked like I’d won the FA Cup when winning a raffle prize
- Those that let me DJ
- Those that kept me on the straight and stable when stumbling
- Those that ignored my whining when walking 500 miles
- All who put up with me SINGING "500 miles"
- Anyone who took that flipping megaphone off me whenever I had it in my grasp (ultimately a ROAK for all the general public)
- Those that rescued PLANKY when he was in need
- Whoever it was that picked me up when i fell down three stairs
- Those that listened to my incessant whining in reference to the heat of my room
- Those that listened yet further to my incessant whining in reference to the heat of my room
- Those that did not attack me or shudder when I had pints with breakfast
- Those that traipsed round Nottingham looking for a Marks and Spencer and watched in awe as I found the most wonderful whiskey shop and wouldn’t leave
- Those that helped me carry bags of booze past big tops
- Anyone that put up with my over excited rantings from the side line
- Those that grew excited at the prospect of being “tall and proud of it”
- Anyone that enjoyed the summer champagne and smiled as they did so
- Anyone who laughed when a small child doused me in the fountain
- Anyone who introduced me to fosters and lime after a number years of forgetting it - just works when you're hot
- Anyone who offered me a cigarette
- Anyone that stopped me smoking it :-)
- Those that didn’t beat me viciously for breaking one of their shoes
- Those that got as excited as I at a “pixy and mix” with the words “all you can eat” next to it
- Those that made me watch my P's and Q's
- Those who I ignored in reference to the P's and Q's
- ALL who didn't laugh hideously when I was dubbed too smart for a club (grrrrrr?)
- Those who made the 20 minute round trip with me to get back and gain entry
- Those who I damaged whilst moshing
- Those I embarrassed by dancing with them
- Those I dripped on whilst soaking
- Those who “appeared” with drink
- The others who drank them when I wanted to dance (if you call it that!)
- Those who made the walk home easy and almost sober
- Those who sat up with me, talking about everything and anything, patiently waiting the age it took to get the photos onto the laptop
- Those that listened to the entire commentary for both the duck race and the powered duck race
- Those that gave me a pillow when there were none to be found
- Those that didn’t take the piss when I felt tired and subsequently rough in the morning
- Those that didn’t worry when I needed quiet time the next day
- THose that realised thereason i needed quiet time was that i'd broken my voice
- Those that showed me the quote book
- Whoever told me what Elliot did to Jo (sorry Jo)
- Those that made the journey home far more interesting with rally driving
To all, you know who you are.
It’s been, to say the least, emotional!
To say the most – fundamentally incredible
