y'know that canoe i was telling you about.....

the media blackout has ended and at last the amazing discovery can be revealed to all. on thursday the media of the world, well wales and bbc online. decended on our site to look at our bronze age boat. we even had a live broadcast on bbc wales tonight.it even made the metro yesterday.wooo. i havent managed to see any of the news items but it is on bbc online under the headline Bronze age canoe stops pipeline. which is a bit of a fib to make the story sound more dramatic.

so at the moment it's all uncovered now but we're not quite sure how to lift safely yet so we are just letting it flood over again for the present. when we left on friday for a long bank hoiliday weekend the polish security guard had just turned up. its his job to sit in a cabin making sure no-one decided to lift it for us. this guy whoi is probably getting paid 20p anhour has to sit there for 4 days in a muddy welsh field with just a book for company. see it is just like the indiana jones movies.

steve tamburello in shock retirement from best man role

yes i have thought long and hard about it and i have decided to bow out of the best man role while i am still at the height of my game. so don't go looking in the yellow pages for my "wedding services" advert. Mark rainey's wedding and the speech i delivered there shall be my last. though it did seem to go down well even if i do say so myself.

those of you that were at tomoko and mark's wedding (prob most of the people that read this blog) will agree that it was areally good day. such a mix of entertaining and talented people form farm noises to traditional japanese kotos.

but it's back to the digging tomorrow. at least for a week. apparently there has been a cull at the site on friday with the majority of people being given a weeks notice. we knew we were running out of stuff to dig so we guessed it might happen. we'll see how it goes. might be more decisions to make soon though.


in other news it seems to be looking good for cardiff city this season. they best leeds 2-1 yesterday. placing them 2nd in the championship. i know it's early days but i might finally get to support a premiership team soon. watch out Man U!
