SO peace for a week. I'm annoyed though that the matches finish on Sunday and he is "having" to stay till Wednesday!

You didnt really think he wouldn't drag a trip to Cyprus out did you

McDreamy · 12/05/2008 21:16

So he's here then? Is he refereeing did you say or playing? How will I recognise him?

tori32 · 12/05/2008 21:21

Lucky sod!!!!! Wish I was back there.

I was posted to Akrotiri for 3 years.

Shoshe · 12/05/2008 21:29

Tori put your tongue back in

saltire · 12/05/2008 22:03

He is refereeing! He will be the good looking one
Not there yet, flies out tomorrow

shosh get back to your sick bed you're spreading the lurg around!!

Saltire The only clue is that he is reffing as there are to many good looking ones to distinguish one from the other!!

McDreamy · 13/05/2008 09:02

I will look out for the good looking referee then - you do realise I am going to approach them all until i find him

(as if McDreamy would ever be that brave in RL)

McDreamy · 13/05/2008 20:19

I think the party has started!

DH and I want to go to bed but we live quite close to the rugby club.......disco and karoke tonight, just listened to Deliah! Do you think they will take requests?

VanillaPumpkin · 14/05/2008 14:13

Ohhhh rugby 10's!!! Happy days .
Are they allowing the parties back at the club then McD. They did shirt them all down to the beach one year I am sure.....
All those scrummy men in short shorts. It is just as well I have a couple of sexy young men in the gym here to keep me entertained while dh is in Italy this week .

VanillaPumpkin · 14/05/2008 14:16

I mean shift them down to the beach.

Also , my comment about young men in the gym sounds extremely dodgy. Can I please reassure you that they will be merely entertaining me from the POV that I get to observe them doing weights while I am on the treadmill? They obviously look through me being a haggard mum of two ...

DH went to the international 7s in Dubai a few months back. (RAF team)

I never got any duty free because they were delayed at check in and had to run all the way to the gate on the way back

He got a nice tan though

McDreamy · 15/05/2008 09:38

It's very small scale this year VP, only 12 teams rather than 44!! Parties seem to be at the Rugby Club but they do finish before midnight, DH and I having been lauging at the deteriorating karoke singing!!!

VanillaPumpkin · 15/05/2008 21:40

12! Blimey, operations are taking their toll .
Lol at the singing though.

I like rugby 7's. Aren't the RAF very good at that?? Or am I thinking of the rugby league where we manage to hold our heads up?

LL - well if you see DH ask him to ring his kids will you. DS1 is convinced the plane has crashed and his dad is dead and no one told him.

Oh bless him! Tell him all the planes to Cyprus have landed safely!
