I'm in Portugal at the end of June and beginning of July this year, so perhaps a quick run down to Gib might be on the cards, just to ensure the place has not changed too much.

Hi Nick. Twink Starr here. Rooke was the only VBI I ever wanted, but Roger Jones wouldn't let me go there. Just as well really. It's hard to conduct from the cells....
