All too young for me, Robin. I'll settle for Kim Thompson. Learn to play the banjo. Have a month touring Italy on the Honda. Build an O gauge railway round the garden........too expensive ! Paint better watercolours. Improve my German. but I think my penfriend, Manfred, has passed away. And so much,much more. Ted Reply to this message | Report message

"Kim Thompson" I've no idea who this bird is, but if you want tasty, mature and long red hair then look no further than Julianne Moore. Absolutely delicious. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Make a will Did that last month, even though I don't have any assets to speak of. It was free, though, and it should clarify my wishes for my children's welfare should the unthinkable happen. I'd still like to: Do the Three Peaks Challenge See (at least some of) the world, preferably by road Find a decent woman Although frankly, I'm not holding out a lot of hope for any of the above.

"tolerate" isn't generous enough. It's more enjoying the spice of some English eccentricity. JH Reply to this message | Report message

Little known fact but a shaved or "bare-ersed" sporran is usually the preferred style of the haggis stalker. Due in the main to the accepted technique of crawling face down in a flattened position through the heather with the traditional club and net. The hairy standard (beardy-ersed) sporran can impede movement at the critical moment by snagging on gorse. In the worst case scenario this can not only lead to the prey getting away but also to the loss of the hip flask contained therein. The belly down method has long been favoured due to the relative lack of hunting success and the pleasing side benefit of being suitably placed to grab a short nap when the ratio of whisky tots to stalking hours elapsed is inadvertantly exceeded.

Oh Humph - you don't play the bagpipes do you? The definition of a Scottish gentleman is that he can play the bagpipes, but doesn't. A year or two ago at the church where I'm organist, a wedding couple came to see me to arrange their music, and the bride said 'We're having a piper - where do you think he should stand?' I said 'What about Basingstoke?' (about 15 miles away). Finding this not very sympathetic, they asked the same question of the vicar, who said 'Try Slough' (15 miles the other way).
