Smugness is such an unattractive quality in a person, I always thought.

If threads on BE are anything to go by, the probability you'll change your mind is pretty high, especially if you are heading to Oz.

And Fred Perry! My brother was a 'Rude Boy' uniform consisted of Fred Perry shirt, skin tight rolled up jeans/stay pressed trousers, purple braces, DM's, Chrombie coat and trilby! I remember him turning up on our doorstep one day soaked through from head (trilby) to toe (DM's) and asking him where he'd been - to which he replied 'swimming'

He did gave me my love of Madness, Specials (and AKA), The Selecter, The Beat, etc - aaaahhhh, the music of my youth!

Well, blimey, obviously no gentlemen on this Forum - how could they leave you hanging like that after such a generous proposition?

OK, I'll take you up on your offer, just for a laugh. Hope you can handle a long-distance relationship, though.

Yet another "appalling demonstration of poor communication skills" by yourself. You really ought to think before you type and send. Many thanks for the clear insight as to why you contribute so much yet so little to BE forums.
