Patrick showing off his Jacket, the lining of which he had managed to remove by trying to put out his methanol burning XRTT which had caught fire.As methanol burns with a clear flame Patrick didnt realise it was alight until the thottle cable outer started to burn. Patrick was a little upset as he had only had the jacket 25 years. The damage to the XRTT ( which is pink Patrick)was only cosmetically damaged in Patricks own words. Kev Scrivener did try to put the fire out with an extinguisher he had got from the rugby club, but as the fire extinguisher Kev chose was empty Patricks jacket had to be sacrifised, the jacket didnt put the fire out but it did have to be sacrifised. As nobody wanted a piss ( perhaps it was shyness) another extingusher was obtained and that worked thankfully. I would like to finish by thanking Patrick for providing the entertaiment and brightening up what was a rather soggy morning. P.S Patrick was presented with a special award on the Saturday night no not a new jacket, a bright red fire extinguisher
