They missed a trick, Dennis Waterman should have played Mary I at some time in his career.

I don't like tech. Car has been showing 'Oil Life Remaining' message, going steadily down, tho' no leaks. Popped into Garage and they said it was a 'count down'... not a Fault warning. I Eventually found manual and cleared it... I Think!  :o  Bl**dy Computer Thing!  >:(
BUT... Home Computer has been 'Going Ape' for some days. Thought Dying.   :'(  Just for laughs, I excavated... and I mean EXCAVATED an OLD keyboard. Well dusted with cig ash beforehand, it was 'retired' after drying against radiator... having had pint of Whiskey & Coke spilled into it... but just abandoned under desk... for 8 yrs! Disinterred from Ash mound, I scraped off ENCRUSTED tab ash deposits , brushed keys and gave it a Good Smacking to get rid if some internal fag ash... and it WORKS! lol. :) New keyboard pending!  :o   ;)  ;D

Talking of 'look-a-likes' (sorry, Last Hussar) - Confederate General D H Hill and Dustin Hoffman (isn't it also strange that the former's first initials are the same as the latter's initials?).

It is probably a conspiracy of some sort - knowing the Confederacy!

We dropped the eldest off in Bangor yesterday to start University.  Bit of an odd feeling leaving him there on his own but I'm sure he'll be fine.  He's doing a conservation and woodland management course, all about saving the trees and reintroducing wolves and beavers to the UK, so it's right up his street. 

House feels a little emptier without him clanging about though.

Never mind, on the first semester break he'll be home with a few potted trees, a beaver in a cage and a wolf on a leash.

He's taken several potted trees with him and still left us with a windowsill full of them!  I wouldn't mind a pet wolf though...

Cheers Paul, he's got a real passion for it so I think he's going to do well.  The lecturers have said that there's 2 jobs for every graduate currently as well, so there's certainly a job market for it once he gets his degree.

When I met him at the last Salute, he seemed a very capable young man, and a credit to you both.

I am sure he will be fine, even if it takes a little while to settle in.
