Todays the day
Todays the day I washed up on these frozen shores. 11 years ago now. Blimey how time flies. Nothing but me and a suitcase, a big squishy bag and my golf clubs back then.
Now theres a mortgage, wife, 2 kids, two cars, 3 saxophones and 4 golf bags. Dont know why I bother with the golf clubs though.

Re: Todays the day
Wow - congratulations Iain. What a lot can happen in 11 years. It's my daughter number one's 11th birthday today, so while you were boarding a plane, I was in hospital ...... OK, let's not go there 
Anyway, you seem one of our more contented contributors to the forum and I wish you many more years of fulfillment in Canada
Now then, large beer tonight?

Re: Todays the day
Are we right in thinking that all of these things are plusses? (except the golf bags) That's almost half your life (right?!). Brill.
