I look forward to being educated when track details are published…

Thank you. Exactly what we hoped for.

The problem we had was/is the supplied screw doesn’t go in far enough, as the drill kept hitting something very solid!

Spent a weekend with The Boy in his new (first) house.

I “own” (i.e. possess on cd or vinyl) 40 of these, have downloaded (emusic, etc.) the same again and have Spotified about 20.

Interestingly (?!?) own 20 in each 100 section.

Very much agree with Fatima above, too…

Guernsey is lovely, but the I am biased – it is my home. Other islands in our Bailiwick are Aldnerney, Herm and Sark, the last of which is particularly splendid – no cars (transport: cycles, tractors or horses) […]

I showed Mrs Biggles the OP and she “accused” me of being Tiggerlion!

*humbled*.
