QuoteI often feel like a 30 year old, but Mrs Orcs says they are too young for me and anyway I would not be able to cope !

I'm 62. Mathematically I figure that entitles me to 2 x 31 year olds, or perhaps 3 x 20 year olds who are almost approaching their next birthday.
Like Orcs, it's never likely to happen - but I can dream...

A friend of my schooldays discovered an acceptable proxy was a cannister of shaving cream fitted with an ordinary spray nozzle.

Like Techno, this man is responsible for a fair chunk of the albums I own - total legend will be missed. :(

I've got an album of his somewhere and it is sublime to listen to (if I had a CD player that is!).

Not my favourite instrument, but the man had real talent.
