David Horne Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 That is a damn good line up! Yesterday was my first workout really since the British. I've just had 2 good injury flare-ups in a row. My back feels better now, but my shoulder/pec still feels sore, especially after yesterdays bending. Some more painkillers and a massage will do it good. David, I look forward to meeting you and of course everyone else. It WILL be a great time!! One other correction to the line up, Jim Wylie will not be taking part.
