    well, I've been to me , but Ive never been to paradise

    are there any musicians or songwriters out there who can make that rhyme?
    I recall Tony Blackburn playing this on the radio the day he discovered his wife was bonking Richard O’Sullivan

    Sounds like she was a contractor with a bad agent.

    Spend last week in Dubai with the kids - very very nice.

    I am not sure I like everything going well for you! Can't you get married? I hate to see a man happy when he could be miserable...
    Need to find the right woman to marry first! There is a really good looking lady hot as heck for me, but sadly the feeling is not reciprocated. Marriage is defo not something to make me happy from what I have seen!!

    Good one about the payout then contract - exactly what happened with me.

    Good luck with the lawyers - hope things go as smoothly as it can!

    A very sad song - they don't make them like that any more.

    Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands today - the people I have travelled to work with are poorly, so entertaining myself to keep busy
    Hi Wilmslow, good to hear from you.

    I have been going through my old sounds because I want to make a new playlist.
    Ditching some stuff and adding other stuff. Im very old fashioned, I still use an ipod

    Yep, bona-fide contractor with ltd company. No money worries, good war-chest, so very happy with the direction I am in just now.

    Hows you - have you reached the aspirational heights of the Aygo?
