Sorry for losing focus Karl...it's an attention deficit disorder thing.....for Graeme and JayBee, not me. Graeme should be above this sort of confusion; being on GMT and all. I'll leave you to it....I'm busy with my combover anyways.
Oh good grief. These are the people who only yesterday were pleading "Forum Fatigue" as an explanation for their increasingly "tired and emotional" input. And now look at them go. There really must be something in that chicken milk to revive them that fast. (I nearly added "More's the pity" there, but bit my tongue just in time).
At the third pip the time in Greenwich will be 11.42 pm on Thursday the 9th of February. My geographical advantage is now virtually unassailable.
But . . . hang on a moment. This is Forum 43, not the Lounge, and this thread started with a perfectly sensible model enquiry. Are we really allowed to commit mayhem here as well?
Only asking. Heaven forbid I would wish to inhibit your exuberance in any way, but I'm just wondering if the brows of our Esteemed Moderator are beginning to furrow in ominous fashion and whether lightning bolts are being primed even as we speak (well, as YOU speak. I'm buggering off to a safe distance.)
Please Sir,
Don't 'bugger off' too afar.... Some of we people here adore your company...and maybe, your commentary.
Although, lately, that may be up for some harsh opinion.
Goodness, it sounds like people are trying to reassure me and encourage me to be even more "adventurous". But you know, after the ReadyMix episode over on The Lounge I am getting rather more set in my ways.
And just before I leave you, an interesting update on the scientific front.
After a couple of days’ careful work the archaeologists here in my highland hideout managed to remove an intact specimen from the surrounding rock. After it had been carefully cleaned up, one of the chaps with a bit of musical training was able to persuade it to produce a surprising range of sweet, melodic sounds – thereby proving beyond reasonable doubt that it was in fact an octopus.
Oddly enough, modern cephalopods are reported to be tone deaf, although if their distant ancestors originated in the land of the pibroch (q.v.), this may well have been an evolutionary defence mechanism.

You may be increasingly set Graeme it is true, but there is a cure at least; in a couple of weeks.
I think the cure may be worse than the dis-ease. But like a good solid citizen I will continue to stand firm, with my head held high. It's all I can do, really.
