Birthday cards still turning up. Opened one letter an' the card appeared gummed up. I thought "Cheap so and so sending me a used card" so I started to read it.
Front piece said nice stuff like 'friendly, clever, full of fun',
"Yeah yeah, of course" I thought "still gummed up though innit"
then on the back it said...
"I can't believe you actually tried to open it!!"
Doh!

Yes many happy returns to you.
I only managed to survive some brain death inducing contracts due to the "Fiddle/Threaded Show" on this board. Very amusing.
I equally miss PF and the Rogerer Of Rabbits.
Who can forget the Valentine poem contest of many years ago and the bottle of bubbly ...
Not to mention Xog and BGGs' stories.

Many happy returns old fruit, this board would be less entertaining without you.
On the "making you not have any more" part of this thread, the Gunman is available for reasonable rates. Dont take it personally, I have a business to run. I am sure you understand.

Ex-wives
They and the kids are all over here in snowy Denmark already. Today I guess they are setting up a surprise party for when I get home.
Which is nice.
Anyways, about the CSA, I have a turnkey solution I developed some time back, extended from stuff I wrote that is already used by the Danish Government. HMG can have it for £500 million, which you'd agree is an absolute bargain.
So it would appear the CSA is avoiding me...

It's OK I avoid married women, too many hang-ups and generally they smell odd too.
