Going by the road traffic and shops this morning you would think it’s Christmas. Tesco’s was mental.

That's one thing I can say about good old Onelife, he's the sort of nice chap who will not just dismiss that idea out of hand.
We need good people like onelife in our lives, although I haven't had the pleasure to meet him, I'd like to call him a friend. :thumbup:
Don't worry, be happy

Merv’s wallet is like a hedgehog, hibernates in the winter and only comes out after dark in the spring/summer for a two second airing :)

Is it right that Sir Merv is the only one in his neighbourhood to have a burglar alarm fitted inside his refuge bins? :)
