some times dave I get get fed up of you and your opinons and humour, however I still tune in cuz you carry on the march and general thoughts of old and new members,including experiencies, you do also give someimes a few good jokes,(they are not all that good)but in the long run you contribute in the main to keeping the board alive and well and to that effect dave I thank you and jim and hope you both keep on the fight to ensure that the guys keep abreast of what is going on, by the way way, did you hear about lurch and danny elwell, the bottle of baby oil. sorry it would be be remiss if I said anymore
