Thanks all, t'was the big 50 for me and all of a sudden I can't stop thinking about retirement...

Sh*t, sorry to hear that Mac. Thinking about it, there's way too much crashing going on round here for my liking, you, Carl, Marty, that's most of the VTRers I've met (mass wise, incl. Marty :lol: :lol: ). Anyway, I'm getting paranoid. Does God play dice? I f*ckin' 'ope not! Makes me think how much ...

(On Sunday) Waking up, going to make a cup of coffee & finding I was wading through water in the kitchen. I live on a boat... I'd been pumping out the bilge Sat eve & had stuck the end of the hose pipe into the river. When the pump cut out a reverse siphon kicked in. Fortunately I didn't sin...

Nice one Carl! Me? Having fixed my chain tight spot issue, went for a little tour. Firstly to visit a friend in the Forest of Dean, going via M40/A40 to avoid sitting on the M4 all the way.
