    No, it's going to be a polonium tracking system.

    Re the danger, it's not great. Previous clients have an office in the financial district. Across the road is a restaurant/bar type thing. There was a wedding reception there when I was with the clients. Then the shooting started. The best man shot the groom (terminally) in a row over a parking space when they arrived.

    You haven't seen my golf. Muscular dystrophy really stuffs it.

    The key words however are "in one go". to be fair with my current drug regime I can manage probably 200 yards before I actually have to take a brief rest. With an electric trolley I can just manage. Recovery is quick so I can manage to get round without making too much of a nuiscance - but any hills etc and I really do need a buggy.

    Got to have an electric trolley if not though.

    Yes, been back a couple of months. On a different project now, this one is being developed in Tartastan. I've got to do a load of the architect work early next year. I think I'll need to pack an extra jumper.

    Do keep up

    This is where I started from. The car park was totally full so I had to stuff it on the end of a row - outside a bay. Hence the penalty.

    Of course there were about 15 cars upstairs on the ends of rows, slipped in by the wall etc. At least they all had tickets.

    Apart from the one with network rail written on it that is.....

    Bizarrely my mate will be collecting me in his Bentley tomorrow to go play golf. If he turns up making threatening noises and generally sounding a bit tinny I think I'll cry off.

    Milan.
    Burnham on sea area. Parkway takes about 40 minutes drive, Bath an hour. Parkway's just a load easier to get to.
