I think I should get an award if so. A bottle of vodka at least.

Talking of vodka I see aTW is also Jul 2005, so think we must have all had to sign on again as I'm sure I was ere first. Somebody should dig out the archives. Ah and arch bullies MF/SAS etc too. Distortion of history, I was here first.

I could of sworn I recall either Orangehopper or Hyperd tipping me off about a contract in Burgess Hill back in the 90s or does my memory deceive me?

PM came along and asked if we should have a meeting to sort out what upset me so much

Last few holidays have not been so good.

The caravan one?
