So apart from getting wet trying to sort Marks Volvo out, Maddsy was in a mad rush yesterday trying to get the factory and everywhere looking atleast respectable, due to the impending visit of John The Dutch Guy!! Was a busyish day, but managed to get everything sorted and that! Managed to sneak out of work at 5:30, even tho Maddsy said he wanted me to stay behind for a bit and chat to John about pricing the Parasols and things hehehe!
Got home half expecting to watch Goal 2, and a few other films hehehe, when Maddsy phoned me and asked if i’d had anything for my tea or anything, cos he could do with a hand entertaining John, and they were gonna head to Andwhynots for some food and a drink or two! Also would be ideal, so I can learn how to price the Parasols, and also have a quick chat to him about how they print things, and it turns out it’s pretty much similar to how we do our marquees! So headed down to Portland Hall Hotel to meet Maddsy and John, and have a quick beer whilst chatting bout the Parasols and things, and I noticed that the bloke who nows runs Portland Hall Hotel just so happens to be the same bloke that was running the Bird in Hand pub in Blidworth many many years ago, when I used to go in. (from the age of 18 honest hehehe)
Had a chat, and Amsterdam invariably got mentioned time after time
due to the fact that the framework for the Parasols would have to be collected, and the factory is only half an hour from Amsterdam hahaha! Headed down to Andwhynots and had a few “small beers” whilst tucking into some food and chatting bout things, and John phoned one of his agents when we got chatting bout Bratislava, and he suggested we go to this Italian restaurant thats in the main square called Paparazzi! So think thats how we’re gonna end the weekend! Hungover as hell in this Italian hehehe
Was a good night, and was having catch up chats with Emzi and Lizzie, then got home and watched telly with a beer!
So far this morning, Robert has phoned Maddsy, saying he got to the Goodwood Festival of Speed ticket-less, and they wouldnt let him in! Advanced tickets only HAHAHA! That made my morning. So Maddsy had to make a few calls, and see if any exhibitors with our marquees could help smuggle him in! Also had a nice little cloth delivery too, to which Maddsy didnt appear at work till after it was unloaded
