Was talking to an old guy with a bad knee at the ramp yesterday .
He said he'd hold my beer as I catch the winning gurnard for the comp .
I think he was either drunk , had mental issues or both .
Seemed nice enough though , will probably take him up on his offer .
COVID is no joke !
One former patient was so brain damaged after , he thought he won an election he lost by 7 million votes .

I might bring my little boat down if I can find a willing accomplice. Can I sleep in the van somewhere close to the ramp?

Yes there is a reserve there with toilets. Safe as. I would offer a spot at my place but we are fully booked but you could park your vehicle here  and use our facilities but no sleeping room. I'm only 5 mins from the ramp.

We can do a mean after match breakfast too. don't be shy, we're a pretty casual bunch. My son is a mean guitarist too but he probably wont be here

OK cool, will confirm a bit closer to the time, thanks. I have a small camper van with a towbar so can sleep anywhere.
