Des I"m just about to fly out and you"ve got me worried. I e-mailed you just before the Scottish Open and informed you that Nigel Johnson and myself couldn"t make it to Edinburgh and would like to transfer the seats to Dublin. You said no problem, but I can"t see our names on the player list. As Pike said Don"t panic!!!!

[APAT]

Sorry Mike, your names have been left off this list to make your morning more exciting!  You are both in however.

[jacklevel06]

Right i"ve picked the winner it will be Brendan,caz ,foggy,kinboshi,Ian Burnett,jack prime ,eck,stu oliver,grant spiers ,dewi,dafydd or thinker.
Good luck to them all.

Des, you have Ian Scothern, down on the list. He is my bro, and he didn"t qualify and also didn"t buy in! And he aint on a plane at the moment, cos I just spoke to him, so you will have one more place at least!!
Cheers
Mike

[APAT]

Thanks Mike, I"m at the airport so can"t check this now, but it is likely to have come from a Regional venue or a previous credit. We"ll ensure the seat is filled.

[kinboshi]

Is Jack still in?

Surely thats the wrong way round

Des, this is Neil Dawson on Ian"s PC ... in our Hotel and 2 mins from Fitz ...

Am I one of the ones who needs more excitement in their morning ... ? My name isn"t on that list either ...
