Shame I don't have long hair or a beard and I'm 19 - other than that I'm pretty good - fencing, archery, horse riding all in the bag.

[TJ Mason]

Durn it, just had a haircut.

Nuts. I have a wedding at the other end of the country on Saturday.... hmmm, how upset would my old house mate be if I didn't go....???

I've got shoulder legnth hair and a moustache...............Oh! and a pot belly........and I can't run far.........and I'm not that good at archery!!.......................I could make the tea.

OOh very tempting. I almost got my hair cut off the other day.

[Ffish]

hmm. . . . I have the long hair, I can grow 5 days stubble by Saturday, and I can use a bow (sort of), AND I have military experience (although they didn't have any attack helicopters in those days!). I also live about 20 minutes from that address!

But sadly Clophill is calling me on Saturday.

You could always get knocked out early and then go... and when ask why you've turned up so late you can tell them that you were at an archery contest for the golden arrow and a kiss from the fair Maid Marian!!
