HI folks. Bet you thought the Sven thingy was over! I don't think so, and I believe there's quite a time to run yet.

What a busy weekend it has been with three gigs.

On Friday evening it was a Sportsman's dinner at Bolton Open Golf Club and on Sunday, it was the official opening of a warehouse in Warrington.

On Saturday, I was in Nottingham for a corporate function, entertaining 400 guests in my role as Sven. It was quite a dash for a 7.15 "kick off" and then 1am finish, concluding with a final whistle at 3.00am, Sunday morning in the hotel. A great weekend, with yet again, great people who treated Irene and I with great respect.

The draw for Euro 2004 is on November 30. The competition starts in June, and although it seems a long time off, I am currently making preparations for an early start as Sven.

The lookalikes callendar is due out soon. I am not sure if copies are available to send out from me, but if you are intersted, let me know and I will enquire.

I am pleased to say that we have now acquired two more sponsors.... Beauty by Suzanne in Leigh, Lancashire, who is going to help me maintain my face!!!!!!! and I am pleased to announce that www.mobileshop.com, have agreed offered a sponsorship.

I have known of the Mobileshop.Com for many years and that are a superb company to deal with.

If you require a mobile, then take a look at their site. Their prices are superb and their delivery is next to none! If it's any recommendation, I currently run three mobiles and they are all from them.

More Sky film shoots are being prepared, more on that as it happens.

There may be a little more of gap before the next Sven News, but keep reading, things are happening.

You can now view my site on www.svengoraneriksson.net and shortly it will be updated.To make things easier, if you wish to order from the Mobileshop.Com, there is a link on my site. Hope that you will use it.

Can I finally remind you to contact me by email .colin@colinslyne.co.uk with an "S" in the middle!
