Hurricane Humphries, might think that he can get off lightly, but he is in charge of all things social.
With the use of Google local, Tripadvisor.com and numerous guidebooks, he must organise our evening entertainments.
His brief is clear.
He should bare in mind the following. Pool tables, Live music, pub crawl, jukebox, Ribs, No cover charge.
Phillis the Weener will be in charge of tour T-shirts/vests, though he perhaps doesn't know it yet. (Si feel free to design away). X-large please.
Badger will turn up, with his bad hairdo, and be his dependable self. Of course he will spend a lot of time driving and sniggering at the banter in the van.
Initial Tour Comments. The Doc has been very quiet. Is he thinking Wedding Bells??
