Picture time

We've got back to the airfield and set up the tables for tonight - we've also managed to get a British Gliding Team sticker up onto the rafter above the briefing stage taking the approach 'if you look confident, no-one will question what you're doing'.
Anyway here are some pictures from our round of air mini golf

International Evening

It's international evening tonight so apparently we'll be giving out scones, cucumber sandwiches and pimms. Currently chilling at the mad dog's house after trying to play mini golf - it was closed so we ended up playig in the park where I got slightly stuck in a kids swing. We'll put pictures up when we get home.
Should be a good few nights as the Americans are getting a bonfire and marshmallows for tonight, it's unofficial Australia day tomorrow for one of their birthdays so we're having a board short and bikini (tops optional) party and borrowing the Swiss pool. Then on Wednesday it's the epic 'Ben and Ali night'. This could be bad for our livers, but we aren't quite as bad as one guy here who two weeks ago drank so much vodka at a comp that he got gout!

Scrubbed

Day has been scrubbed and we've just had a presentation about the 2013 JWGC in Poland where me and Ali are crewing for Australia, and Ali is trying to become team captain. This means you can all spend 2 years eagerly awaiting another sexual blog

Morning all

So you've had Ali's update, now it's time for mine. After getting back from slurry field we headed straight to the bar, and after having only eaten a small thing of chips all day decided that watered down broccoli soup was a good idea......
I think the bar was fun but to be honest I'd be lying if I said I remembered any of it in enough detail to write about. Axel (comp director) has asked me and Ali to DJ at the final party so we are now going to be world famous DJ's! He may well regret giving us any form of responsibility.
We've also been made Uncle Ben and Auntie Ali for Verity Hood who got here yesterday, so we are now crew, childminders, DJ's, masters of ceremony and generally all round amazing people!

Ben's Man crush

Not that it's obvious but Ben wants to be Nick Maddocks. 
Apparently it's his glasses, you have to ask Ben.

Morning!

Today there is basically 100% chance of precipitation. Briefing is at12.

With regards to last nights antics I obviously cant go into details as mother reads this blog but it started with us setting the party going with putting my laptop through the main speakers in the hanger and got the party in there until 2300 when we moved into the bar as is the routine now.
It doesn't help when all one eats for dinner is curry sausage and soup. No wonder I was battered...again.
I also recall scaring the annoying little German twat who works on site as he has been calling me gay for the last week so I thought it was appropriate to say to his face in front of everyone that if he calls it me again I'm going to smack him one, with obviously a little more aggression than I normally carry. And to my surprise he actually looked scared. Ha!

We are currently listening to music in chez BAli (the tent), bit of ABBA I think.

Long update part 1 of flying day 4

The shinternet has returned and we had to go on retrieve so apologies for lack of updates.
All the boys landed out and I have a few photos of Willy's land out with a Polski man.

 The tyre!

Ben and Coxy had to go get Tom from a field of dried pig slurry which smelt by all accounts like pig slurry but pictures will follow.


Certain masked men also carried out Operation Overlord Pt 2 taking part in the landings of stickers on foreign aircraft's. The best received was by the Aussies.
