I've not seen my sports therapist for some time now-I could have done with a rub down after the last two days! Miles (retiring to bed chambers before second breakfast shift of the year) Cid,

Isn't balaclava that filo pastry sweatmeat?(mental note, not for Miles, he doesn't 'do' filo!) So Lincolnshire has a Mr GB, how fabulous and well done for keeping up with him. Our little shooting party is growing all the time .... took the liberty of inviting George purely for his innate sense of camouflage... Arnica gel Miles, that's what you need and lots of it. Perhaps you could entice your sports therapist to assist you, I'm sure she won't mind! It's either that or one of my prototype garden poultices ... sadly the ingredients are not yet 'stable' and patent is still very much pending :) Cid p.s. notice how we have come from Vietnamese prawn salad to Cid's herbal poultice ... almost full circle! Miles,

The last time I saw my balaclava it was being modelled by George Clooney on 'Oceans Thirty Five'. I've still got the edge on him when it comes to wearing wool. As for Mr. GB, it was a great experience, two days of learning, grunting and sweating! The man is a monster but a real gentleman. I wouldn't reccomend training with him immedediatly before a dinner for 260 though. Miles (aching all over) Cid,

I'm not allowed to wear mine ... 'it frightens people and looks ridiculous' they say, you know, weak excuses like that. 'I didn't get where I am today by frightening people and looking ridiculous' I said, in my new Paul Gilbert ensemble ... with a backpack over one shoulder embroidered with 'snipe swag bag' on one side and 'the skulking waders' on the other :) Cid p.s. how did it go with Mr GB? Miles,
