Hopefully I'll actually get out to play too.

I've just been for a drive in a rally prepared Tornado Talisman with one of my engines in, most enjoyable.

Coq au vin for lunch and then back to the grindstones!

How convenient are the 'facilities' at Delta HQ? I am told that Pot Noodles are actually very nutricious and healthy. Think it was Unilever that told me......

Out of date? The christmas pud just finished was 2009, my porridge milk this morning was 4 days over and fine. Sour Cream isn't sour until well past, and as for cheese.....

Its nuclear matter, it can't go out of date!

you could knock up a bowl of pasta and pesto as quickly, much tastier, my usual for a Wed as I have band rehearsals at 8.

Q: does anyone know how to use a cylinder boring machine? I've got a Buma prehistoric one which appears in excellent condition and its got all its bits ( I think) I just have no idea how to use it . . . . If its rubbish I'll get rid, but seems a shame to not even try.
