Friday is ALWAYS curry and pint day, as well as Wendesday, and if there's any birthdays or people leaving. So there's always a reason to head to the pub, even if it's 3-4 times a week!

That's so sad - it must've gone done very fast. I hope they find his body so at least his family have some closure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choptop Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Did think about you and martinmac when I heard this. Water can be a dangerous place to be. Glad you are both ok though. Feel for those who did not make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
