Go TAFFS at the GP! Hey Niall, I'm cheering for you on your HM--to hold 2:05 will be awesome--can't wait to see your big colored post! Considering I think 2:05 for an hour row would be a tremendous achievement! Debra, is that the same friend who was aiming to beat Mary Perrot's times last year? I remember thinking that was a bit of a stretch. Wouldn't it be cool if you could send Martin her rower via your friends when they return to Australia. Of course Australia is gigantic so it would probably not make much sense. And it makes rather clumsy luggage, I imagine. With all this talk about the chances of my having hit 41:40 at 2:05 on that 10K, I'm glad I've actually got a photo of the final results on the monitor! It's starting to look like I made the whole thing up! The photo is at www.dms-ent.com/images/04-10-06-02.jpg . Carla

I was walking the dog earlier and I stopped to chat to someone I sometimes see about. She said "I see the dog has been playing rough". I explained that, no, it wasn't the dog, it was the 2 year-old. Little monster!

Wow, Niall! That's really great! 2:03!!!!!! Fits one of my favorite sayings: "Set your goals high & exceed them!" Way to go. Carla

OK, so T-shirts - or, what we're really talking about first, a logo. Any Taffs happen to be graphic designers? =) The T-shirts I got done for my gaming clan were silkscreen printed. That means having a single colour logo that could be cut out of a piece of paper, basically. <a href='http://www.kop.nildram.co.uk/images/tjdtat.gif' target='_blank'>This</a> is more or less what I came up with. Alternatively, I think Cafepress can do full colour images, but even so I think that bold block-colour logos work better than poncey shaded ones. I've had some ideas, roughly slammed together in Paintshop. Both black-and-white attempts, and things using red, green and white. I don't think any of them are really good, but I'll put them up for laughing at later. =)

Sub 7-min club membership for you now Chippy! Nice one, well done. There's quite a queue of us eager for membership ourselves and it's great to see a team member gaining entry! Fantastic effort and focus.

Depends on cost of course. My welsh wife would love them.

Well done Chippy, sub 7 minutes, wish you joy on your time. I know it was tough, how is you ear? The tee shirt idea looks great what color background, Gray? Im in for a few. I finished my 100,000 meters just a while ago. quite painful towards the end. I was hoping to do more than 20,558 on Saturday but my lovely wife mentioned that I had a ton of winter chores to do. Hold on I explained the team needs these points, at which she explained winterize the outside or no special rubdowns , Needless to say after putting away lawn furniture Mowing lawn last time and 24 bags of leaves plus countless other " honey do things" I got my time in. I had wanted an easy Sunday so I could watch American Foootball, And see the plays like Carla mentioned but no go . Three rows for 38750. WELCOME ABOARD RAY
