Yes I got a good one, but first a bit of a preamble. Way back in early 1981 the company I worked for employed a new temp secretary from an employment agency. A young 17 yo busty redhead called Angie. Angie did bit parts in adverts and other stuff for Yorkshire TV and was a bit of a looker. Anyway come Friday night the boss askes "does anybody live near the top of Roundhay Road" I said I do, even though I lived in Woodhouse as I figured he wanted someone to give Angie a lift home. I was right and at 5 o'clock off we set. On the way I got her number and a couple of weeks later I gave her a ring and she agreed to a dinner date and a John Cooper Clarke concert. Long story short I took her virginity on the day Charles and Diana got married. Before we met she had planned a holiday to Jamaica with a Jamaican friend. She did that and met up with a rich New Zealander and went back to New Zealand with him to build a boat. We exchanged a letter or two then she came back to Leeds to round up the things she needed for a life in NZ. By then I had decided to emigrate to Australia, to an obscure little village in Northern NSW. It was a couple of years later, sitting on the front doorstep of the only pub in this village, when Angie and this dude walked past. She was surprised to say the least, even though she knew I was here. We exchanged a hug, much to the dudes displeasure, then off they walked.

If by favourite you mean the one I have watched more than any other then this would be it.

Does anyone still use a Fountain Pen and ink?

Had to use one at grammar school. That was the last time I held one. -
^ You can also use cut up egg cartons.

They do grow where I live, and I do love them. Now and again I get a bumper crop but then so has everyone else, you end up giving them away.

Sorry to hear this Phil. You have won through before, so keep up the spirits and I'm sure you will be just fine.

These guys must be up there somewhere.

Work to dry the place up? Not sure where you are going with that grayray. I use whilst still sitting on the bog. No water gets on the floor. In fact I must have one of the few toilets in Oz with carpet on the floor. Boat carpet that gets taken out and pressure washed whenever it is needed. I live in Northern NSW and manage to still use it over winter.

I brought a bum gun back to Oz around 10 years ago. No TP needed for me.

Well I couldn't say this was a favourite, but I know this mad bugger. Lives locally. Would give Rhompo Ray a good run on the harmonica. I would class him as being in the world's top 10 players, and I did see Sonny Terry in my younger days. Have a laugh.

I have seen Elephants in Pattaya.
