Here's another I found whilst looking at snowdrops on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ship-Photograph-tanker-Japan-Galanthus_W0QQitemZ300216164960QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item300216164960&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177#ebayphotohosting

I'm not going to be responsible for starting another 'silly' season with this one, Anthony ... and that will be no hardship ...

I'm determined not to perpetuate this one ... so I will be the destroyer!

Gosh - I missed this round of word play while I was sunning myself in Madeira.  I would have joined in, but as you have all made a clear stance that you are quitting I shall avoid the hazard of a backspin to the golf jokes. Instead I shall cut open the caddy, grab the green mug with a chip on the rim and make myself a cup of tee.

Sorry  :-[ ::)

Hi Brian

I have been looking up apoloy in my dictionary and doing web searches.  Is this, as I expect, a clever golf joke?  Or a typing mistake?

Cheers

They are a make of Serbo-Croat clubs, John ... titanium and maple!  Many a rich player in Dubrovnik would be proud to display his Apoloy's!   :D :D :D
