The second Bournemouth Possee beach BBQ is on for Friday night on the 25th of August. Bring your own food, drink, disposable BBQ and speedos. I say this every time but no-one ever does.
I am sure it wont be as windy and as cold as the last one. Nor will we need to shelter behind the ice cream hut and scare locals walking along the beach who saw flames from underneath the wooden structure.
Bring back the dolphin! They were fantastic but have never been back since. Maybe the warm weather will have enticed them closer to the shores. Sushi anyone? Just kidding...
No more 6-pack jokes this time. My body will never be the same again.
We will make sure we bring some music down. Not that I will be doing break-dancing but the Tasmanian Devil whirlwind known as R'Aston will hopefully be there.
It was a welcome suprise that we got an e-mail to say Fred and Lyn were coming to the UK as part of a tour around Europe via Southern Africa and wanted to pop down into Bournemouth.
We had only met and chatted with them for a couple of days back in 2000 when we spent 5 days in Phuket at the Dusit Laguna, after my brother's wedding in Hong Kong.
So it was nice to have kept in touch and a big surprise after these years that they turned up in Bournemouth for a couple of days to share a glass of wine or two.
It was a fantastic day for Matt and Emma's wedding. The savage heat and humidity from the last month had died down a bit and made it pleasant for the wedding at Langtry Manor Hotel.
It all started of very nicely. Emma and Matt were looking great. The same cannot be said of some of the guests judging by the sight of these two reporbates below. Responsible fathers and all.
Good to see the usual suspects and having all the kids around as well. I needed more time to teach them the naughty stuff to annoy their parents.
Many congratulations from all the crew and may you have many happy years to come.

These two represent a sorry state of affairs. Since becoming loving fathers, suffering lack of sleep, not going out very often they just have to go and large it up whenever they get a chance.
These pictures were taken before 11pm as well. What happened to the Ibiza and Magaluff lifestyles? Party hard! Sleep long-time.
Hope the kids didn't wake you up too early, hah!
Now Tony, he's a man who can handle things and he has three kids now. Big up Tony B, he da man.
