 Good to have you back on form! But what's happened to Messrs Booker and Nicolson?

[SusanS]

...oh, no, they're back again...with apologies!

Don't apologise Frazer, your wit and intellect have brightened my day 

especially like the Laurel and Hardy one.  Their films and sketches are firm favourites of Darren and I.

You know the term.... too much time on your hands? 

Well done Colin, Fraser, David et al.

[Colin]

Too much time etc.............. .  Most of these 'popped up' during my last ascent of Everest or during last year's single handed crossing of the Pacific.

But............. no more....... that's it

[David Nicholson]

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that can't be it. I use these for entertainment when there's nothing on the telly (which really means I use them a lot)

[Paul T]

Colin,

Don't stop on my account, I quite enjoy them.  The "too much time" comment just HAD to be made though.
