Fat BoaB and the twins came roon t’ the hoose as I was strapping the last of me stuff t’ the divvie, we set off for the new site this year Lumsden (turn right jist past the “itchy bit”) We arrived and had ...........a beer! Well it’s part of the F3 good start to a rally guide. There was a big f**k off tint at the top of the park, this was where the Friday nights debauchery would take place, (the hall committee had double booked).

After signing in and a cuddle from Turra the next task was to find a spot to park up and pitch the tint, well the park wiz in a fecken state o bumps. Boab was a wee bit excited as he had one of those quick up tint things. The instructions said seconds and you know they were right; Boab took 2469 of said seconds till he got his erection. The twins had the bungalow up in double time and were setting up the bar before Boab finished ;-)

Al, (it had been his burfday a few days earlier so had to give him a Jack to celebrate it would have been bad manners not to !)   Seth, Chris and some new friends came past to say hello and were greeted with F3’s war cry “Fit ya for?” Sir Jack, Dr Smirnoff and The Captain did the rounds and it was shaping up to be a HELLUVA weekend. 

Well I got up for a lookie at what Saturday had to offer, up through the park for a pee and the hunt started for the coffiee, (I did have the cooker the coffiee and the milk jist forgot the thingie for boiling watter.) Not a lot of peeps on the go yet so went back to me sleeping bag.

Mandy was working on Friday night before coming up to Lumsden so she went back ti Inverurie to pick up her gear and the boilie watter thing,

The rest of the crew were on the go and Matty had been to the shop and was laden with the golden sugar laden bottles of hangover cure, mutch appreciated mate.

I wonderd around trying to peice together what went wrong on Friday, no not a thing could I remember, there were stangers shouting over "Hi Brian how you to-day?" Must have introduced masell at some point ooooooooo the demon drink, WHY DO WE DO IT ?

Any way I blame Jenna behind the bar, Thought a Gunniess might settle that "oh god I'm Ill " feeling, well a pint and a chat with Dr Smirnoff and I did feel a bit better, (had to see the Dr cos the bar ran out of Sir Jack, but Jenna was gonna pickup a bottle at lunch time)

Mandy, Looby and Booby were gonna head for Inverurie as the Locos were playing in a cup game but Booby went down hill fast after a flying start to the day.

As Mandy and Loobs headed for cup glory I was left hugging a cup of coffee. Boab, Maty and Ange went for a spin and I tried to get some kip in the sun.

Supper time and we headed over to the hall for some food, a great array of home-made puddings were set out but before that a plate o mince and tatties.

Now I think the portion size depended on the size of the punter holding the plate, needless to say my plate wis heepit.

Angela n me thought we would have a wee walk after weer supper and took the long way round to the pub.

Back on the Jack and getting some stick from Jimmy for having a kip in the afternoon, the crew were getting back to what we do best.

Some of the crew headed back to the hall as Mandy n Looby arrived back and were quickly getting jiggie with the Dr.

We went up to join the rest of the crew in the hall to be greeted by some ewes trying to get everyone to strip the willow and dance we Gay Gordon !!!!!!

Back to the pub me finks...........

Got a TxT from Boab "that's them finished"

Back up to the hall and "Full Hog" were setting up, a cracking rally band and had every-one jumping from the start.

After a few trips to the bar Jack jist wisna gan doon very weel but kept trying just incase I found the one that would cure Friday nights withdrawl.

Fat Boab won a raffle and proudly wore the contents of the bag....... an orange thong! (he says he got rid of them bit me thinks he is still wearing them) We headed roon the back to the BBQ and back to the fridgefreezer (my god it wiz cald)

Great rally and I would like to thank Aberdeenshire MAG, Jenna and the gang in the pub and the Lumsden "We can feed a Rally crew" see you all again next year.
