We are struggling for props so I would have got to choose (tighthead obviously) then a few beers and a chat with the vanquished foe before the main event. Songs, more beer late into the night. Before returning via takeaway to Chez Birdwatcher (probably spareroom but who cares) up for a brunch and a bit of a walk in the goyt with the kids and then settle down to see If Lewis H can make it a double. Instead...... well you can read about it later.The Birdwatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682268406484192602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33374261.post-49326445423614931982007-10-18T20:54:00.000+00:002007-10-18T20:54:00.000+00:00Reg - I'll supply the electricty.

Children's parties and weddings!!! I feel your pain.<BR/> Yes, they have televisions in Edinburgh. John Logie Baird was a Scotsman, don't forget. That's the good news. The bad news is Benjamin Franklin was a Yank - nope, they ain't got no electricity up there yet.Barry Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000494244277958295noreply@blogger.com
