Very astute, Pierre.

However, R42795 belongs to our illustrious General Secretary of the RSL (and head poobah of the Masons) my good mate Derek Robson, who I recently saw when in Queanbean for the funeral of another dear mate, Nils Blyth.

Did not say I was younger, just that the pair in question are POSSIBLY beyond the hot flushing stage that my wife had complained about some time ago.

Still, I suggest a cooling ale will help resolve such distresses and I would imagine that there would be several of these planned..

Good save Gordon. Retirement becomes you, it seems.

Definitely feeling my age at the moment with medication 'difficulties', but you can rest assured far more than several ales are planned for about 6 weeks time!

I'm looking forward to the stimulating discussion of topical subjects, such as:
Future socio-economic effects upon Afghanistan after 2014,
The impact of cubism upon modern artists,
The future of our Navy,
How good we were, and
Vayjayjays,
Did Hilter make a mistake in building large warships, when for one warship, he could build 10 submarines.

Answers to above quiz:

1:- Who gives a rat's?

2:- See Ans #1

3:- Zero

4:- The older we get, the better we were.

5:- Vajayjays needs further investigation

6:- Was this part of Q5?
