    Anyone meet someone interesting over Christmas?

    I met a friend of my sister's family, a brigadier in the SAS apparently.

    Was dying to ask him if he could get hold of a P(Y) code enabled GPS receiver for me, but bottled it.

    Met a fine young IT fellow. When he found out I was special forces(TA) he was dying to ask me for some kit, but he bottled it. If he gets his nerve back, I'll let him play conkers with his son with OBL dried up testicles

          Yes I did. Two as it happens.

          My cousin Saul is rinsing out Elizabeth Adare who played Elisabeth in ITV's The Tomorrow People.

          Saul is in advertising and that ever so funny Juan Sheet kitchen roll ad is his brainchild.

            Was down in Cornwall, on the way to St Ives when I pulled over at the services. Met a lovely American fella in a big people carrier rammed with young women. We got chatting about religion, Mormon. Lovely fella.

              Met some dude on Christmas Eve who said he'd be dead by Christmas day. He said not to worry as he would 'resurrect' by New Year. Really, the tripe people come out with when they've had a drink or two...
