can we pay at the start of January? I will have run out of money by the end of the month!

This all seems to have gone quiet. Is the septic trip still on? Is there a list out? Is it all a big secret and only the special few have been told? Is PC on his RDP and not giving a FF any more?

Easy answer - there's a few snags to be overcome and it's also handover week between bandies so everything's a bit chaotic! Wouldn't be Nelson if it wasn't

I hope I'll find out some news soon - need something to get excited about once I'm back from Koln.....if my liver survives!

You're bring your liver along then??

It's only velcroed in so is easily removable if necessary. Plus it needs a bit of punishment after a very dry Christmas

The liver is evil and must be punished...

Did you know;

Yesterday (Jan 22nd) was St. Vincent's day, and we should all honour him. He is the patron saint of drunkards, and is also revered by sailors, but for different reasons.
He's also the patron saint of brickmakers, but I'm not sure how we can adapt that one to fit in with the vollies.

Alternatively, if you want to by-pass the saints and go straight for a god, it has to be Dionysus or Bacchus, the Greek and Roman gods of wine

, Maenads

(do a wikipedia search) and song

Axl, how do you get internet access in a submarine?

Axl , you're great - you know stuff: I'm off sick at the mo and need to get fit for Koln - I'm watching loads of day time TV under a big fur blanket and eating lots of chocolate - is there anything else I should be doing?
