Imagine the scene, 200+ new start bobbies in the lecture Hall..silence falls and the lecturer introduces himself.
"Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here today to tell you about DNA and how it can be used in the detection of crime. Can I start by asking if anybody knows what DNA stands for"???...while he waited for someone to answer 'Deoxyribonucleic Acid', there was silence which was eventually broken by a broad Glaswegian voice stating " NATIONAL DISLEXIC ASSOCIATION" _________________ Music has the power to bring people together like no other art form.

Yes mate..I thought I'd better keep a low profile for a day or so, after "knuckle-wrapping" from they who must be obeyed..

Does that suggest that you're coming down for Dick Waterers funeral Rab? or does it refer to something else? _________________ One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music.

Unfortunately, although I served with Richard in Staff Band, and had the greatest respect for him as a musician and a gentleman, I'm in Hospital next Thursday for a minor Op..
No, that post referred to a now cancelled "soiree" over a 1/2 pint or thirty with a fellow Bass Player....
Grandad, Yoda, or various other less complimentary nicknames (john hill)...

What a troop we had! Parrot Troopers one and all - still remember Giraffe on squad runs with his inflatable bird on his shoulder...
