Looking forward to reading your call MB and hoping Abbott kicks a bag!!

Well, this is embarrassing.

After having this trip carefully planned for over a week, something happens which forces to me to scrap my plans at the last minute and remain at home. Am spewing, utterly spewing.

I am so insanely jealous of TradeDraft and mattys123 right now. I was so looking forward to seeing Darcy Moore and all our kids and Ben Reid in full flight again. Will be forced to rely on that LiveChat thing...

Late change, courtesy of social media: captain Jack Hellier out of the selected side.
