BZ on the VJJs idea, CJ!!

Scintilating discussion points, Peter, I am sure these will all be given their due considerations whilst we promenade twixt the establishments.
Just a small point though, was mr HILTER of the same ilk as that illustrious fellow Isambard Kingdom Brunel or perhaps Cornelius Drebbel, what?

Following you turkeys around being unable to avoid listening to this drivel will make for a horrifying day.

I might have to feign illness.

Pssst ..... Don't tell anyone but I have just managed to secure the 3 November free until around 1700.

So last year I was a late scratching, this year a late starter (don't read anything into that you lot).

Guess I will be there, at least for a short while.

My possible "wimp out" was due to a Grandad attendance requirement (for grand daughters). Not sure how tha stands as my younger sons ex (and her parents) snatched the kids on Sunday and did a runner back to Queensland. Concern centres on their current welfare - would most happily still "wimp out" for the mid afternoon period if the courts saw favour in their return (unknown at this time). Whatever the outcome you reprobates will still be stuck with me for a time. Breakfast at the Jackson on George and I will eat the mushrooms....................

Wish you luck with the outcome Brian, and I know the situation exactly. Elder son's ex snatched the kids, car and furniture and a fair percentage of his income and we didn't see them for some 16 years!

Personally, I wouldn't touch the mushrooms.............
