Good Day Lads,

what's that you say? not able to get in? sounds crazy, why they even let me in for heaven's sake, and if I can get it, anybody can.

I have written down your advice Old Dux, it makes damn good sense to me. I don't suppose the world would fall apart if my place of employ had to do without me a bit sooner. Yes JRT, I heard that, my retirement might actually be doing evrybody a big favour. Of course I would have more time for birding, and for hanging about the HWH thread, both excellent uses of time which contribute marvellously to the world at large.

Hmm...don't like the sound of the bum jobs, has a nasty ring to it - no pun intended. I will first work on my list of lame excuses.

JRT, how do you do with the forest of dead/never-living Christmas trees? keep a keen eye out there, you might attract some stuffed pheasants and rubber chickens.
