Vollie does the USA a couple of weeks after the others did..Right, my bag is just about packed, and I just have to get a few more things and I'm ready.
I shall be thinking of you in your nice warm beds, whilst I am loading up the taxi at 4am tomorrow.
I shall have internet access from our holiday village place in Orlando so I shall be here semi regularly rubbing it in about how I'm swimming with dolphins and how I didn't have to bring my hooter!

Wait until the other Jock takes over at Westminster..(another massive tax burden on we Scots)...
Best thing you can do really, is to stop pretending that England is the superior breed, and realise that had we been given equal opportunity and respect in all aspects of modern day life from the start, we may have soldiered on thinking that Central Government was OK for us... 
It seems that Scotland, Wales and NI have woken up to the fact, but you guys don't seem so keen to 'go it alone'..
If you really feel so strongly about it, demand the right for devolution, and (always better late than never) have a go at being a 'United Nation'..
I honestly don't understand ..We'll still be your friends and dig you out with Oil, Gas and Water etc...
Well.. we'll probably need some of your cash in return, so there's no loss what a neighbour gets...

I finally made contact with your dashing Mz "A" and she will attend Thursday evenings rehearsal with the Orlando Concert Band. She is upset that she has to leave on 1 July and will miss our concert on July 4th. That would have been nice to have a "Brit" playing a "Yank" Independence Day concert with the "Colonials"...LOL

Botty's got a point....
I heard on the radio today that George W is on the verge of offering Bliar a job as a 'Peace Envoy' when he leaves office later this week.
It'll be interesting to see if he lives up to his reputation as GW's poodle.
On a serious note - I'm not sure it would be a particularly good decision on Bliar's part if he decides to go with the job offer - GW's not got long left himself and as far as I can see from this side, he's about as popular with the US electorate as Bliar is with us.
David Beckham he ain't!!!
Beck's has got a good chance of going down very well indeed Stateside - as long as he doesn't say anything!!!

You might not recognize her. She said she has just "melted away" from the heat down here.
She is bringing her camera with her tonight so there will be pics posted later.

I couldn't go tonight,,,, a combination of getting back from our daytrip late, being completely tired out by running around seaworld for 8 hours, and my taxi driver (dad) being too pooped to drive. Lesson learnt, next Thursday will be a lazy day by the pool before rehearsal!!!!!!
So sorry Shell, I'm gutted. However, very much looking forward to next week!

Your Miss "A" made it to rehearsal tonight and sat in with our 2nd Clarinets. She and her Dad took some pictures but will not be able to post them until they return to the UK on Sunday. She had a great time and wishes that she could play the concert on July 4th.

Thanks for a great rehearsal, Shell! It was a lot of fun. Pass my thanks on to John for being such a friendly stand buddy, and to Barb for lending me her beautiful clarinet! I was very impressed, and I'm sure your concert is going to rock.
If you're coming over to Portsmouth anytime soon, drop by and we'll lend you a trombone!!!!
