I hope all goes well and without drama mate. Any probs let us know and we'll send Polly to the rescue. Just give her time to put her cape on and her undies over her trousers. It gets cold up the kyber

Oh great, driving home tomorrow, as if the M5/40/42 aren't bad enough as it is

Could really do with some 007 gadets in the car to remove some of the other users

He's a pretend seaman. Most he gets close to a boat is the ones he has in his bathtub

And even then it's up the crack of his bum

Feels like it sometimes I have to do a day shift tomorrow, thats gonna be a killer. Three nights in a row, Tues/Wednes/Thurs - finish 6.30 am Fri.....then back on shift 6.30am Sat for a day shift, thats a horrible sequence I pity anyone who rings me Saturday morning, they may get less than the normal friendly service

Thanks for the moral support, main prob I get in typhoons up in this high tower is that things get blown about wickedly on the verandah - y'know, flower pots, satellite dish, washine machine, chairs, old tvs etc - things I'm too stingy to fork out the thousands of Yen to have removed by the gomi men

Can't you position them strategically so they get blown OFF the verandah? Although knowing the Japanese theree's a law against that
