I followed your link and saw the lemur on the front page and thought 'aww, maybe I'll have to go visit'.. then the pic changed to the second image and thought... 'maybe not!'

They're all CUK members. SASGuru is on the banjo, Sally Anne on the accordion, and Scotspine on the sax. And El Duder on the clarinet.

Theale... hmm.. when I think of Theale I see a sign with a stag on it.

Is that near that big wind turbine thingie you can see from the M4?

That's near J11. Theale is J12, further West. The big stag probably represents Beale Park.

Does LMI count as "us" any more, since he's been banned a few times now?

Or is he back under a new name??

Maybe I already counted you. Did you mention it before? There's me, you, Hiram King Of Tyre and Let-Me-In as far as I know.

"Bud" always works well for the blokes, particularly in a northern accent.

"Girls" works for either blokes or girlies, as long as they are in a group.

I'm meant to be working in London at the moment, but am stuck in sunny Slough for the time being...

Any suggestions, I already have problems learning names
