The Boys of Beaver & Beer vs. Team Europe

[Skorpa]

Let's use this topic to set availabilities. What courses you would like to race?

[CAN uck]

Pertinent notes have been forwarded to The Boys. First things first. Let's see if we can drag enough asses in off the water to pick up the guantlet.

[Skorpa]

Have you proposed any specific date to The Boys, so that I can check in advance with my team?

[CAN uck]

Not yet we are still trying to find some common ground versus you being 5 to 9 hours later than our Boys.

[admiral 1]

at least your Boys get a fair chance on being sober

[CAN uck]

Ah Theo, you continue to be the optimist. We follow the sun past the yardarm rule here. Tends to make for very long lunches and very happy beavers.

[Peelman]

I'm out for this week as I'm moving. Once set up, besides the beau view in Kits, I'll have 2.5Mbs for the same price from Telus.....at least I hope it's that fast

[Skorpa]

To beaver or not to Beaver? :p . Don´t feel pressured to do the races. We meet when we meet .

Bump

Just making sure the boyz know what's awaiting when they crawl from wherever they 've been hiding.

:beer:

[euphoria]

Team Europe would like to challenge The Boys of Beaver & Beer for some racing :p .

Bumping this up.

Is there really a team there or you're just bluffing?

Why bumping up the request thread when you can bump the challenge thread up?
Ah, of course because Theo already had bumped this, and why should you leave empty handed? :;):

[Skorpa]

Next step will be Theo and me sending mails with a 10 min gap.

We want them to feel the pressure .

[admiral 1]

Anyway of checking if any of the boyz are tracking this topic?
