One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Thudders, how do you do that?

Oh, I think that I have got it!
I wonder if it will work on Reading Forum? I must try it.

No, it didn't!!

Oddly enough, some of us were discussing this subject of women and maps, and to be fair the reluctance of men to ask for directions, and we came to the conclusion that because of the proved fact that women need to say far more words during the course of a day than men, they would rather ask for directions than try to get the map sorted, and that men have a fear of showing themselves to be lacking in any aspect of the art of living.
Do you follow that argument? Well then, congratulations.

Ah, Tony - I'm a Scouser, so watch it fella!!  ;D

I don't read maps anymore as the clever lady in my sat nav gives me directions.

Just about to have breakfast, then off to Reading!

Have a truly wonderful day you've earned it :) Annie had a QUIET word with me so I've revised my opinion about cousins down the M62 :) Don't forget to take some pictures.

Godspeed
