£50 bet between Rich B and Chris W
Chris reckons within a (full) year of Valentino Rossi joining formula one, from motor cycle racing, he will win three grand prix. Rich B reckons not. Hence the £50.

Fingers cross for good BBQ weather tomorrow
BBC Weather for Bournemouth shows that it is partly cloudy and sunny.
Not sure what plan B is at the moment.
Red Arrows time again (Fri 18th at noon)
Red Arrows
This year it will be on Friday 18th of August at noon. Remember, unless you get there early you will not be able to park! Be warned.
We normally go on the Westcliff side and stand on the open grass areas. Down the pier is very busy also but at least you hear the commentary there.
Friday 25th August. Place to be is on the beach!
Firestarters
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.
It will probably be the first time we all meet up again after Matt and Emma's wedding.
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.
Fred and Lyn visited from Melbourne, Oz
Fred and Lyn
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.
