I may not make this one, but it's about time I did attend one I think.

By the by, is anyone attending the MPH motor show at Earls Court this year? I'll be there on the 1st of November and also attending the Top Gear Live thingy. If anyone's about give me a shout and we can meet up for a pint or something?

We were dancing to electro-pop and i did 7.5 chin ups beneath that spiral staircase for a bunny girl. My arms still hurt :lol: then i counter-danced an indie boy but it turned into a breakdance fight. Remember that? :confused:


EDIT, added the decimal point.:sheesh: lol.
