Greetings All
Just when you thought (er, hoped?) I'd gone quiet here, I have in fact been quite busy behind the scenes. Well, yep: the dreaded DF does has its drawbacks. But, as they say, there are 2 sides to every coin.
Here are the latest Gems spotted in the small ads...

Genuine Sheepskin Sheep. House trained, collection only from Baath area.
Original copy of Kama Sutra. Page 69 missing, has a few stains but otherwise quite clean. (selling on behalf of my Gran, age 102). Offers..?
Family sized Freezer. Size: 6 feet high by 4 feet deep. 110 Litre capacity, would accommodate large family.

Oh well, what can I say other than PMR, Pred Head, Brain Fog and DF are at least giving me some amusement along the way. That's my story and I'm sticking to it..
Best wishes and keep... etc 
'Uncle' MB
(p.s. will be away / Off Air tomorrow until Tuesday-ish for the funeral of my favourite (and only) Uncle Bill RIP. He passed away peacefully at age 97: but always the Life and Soul, and trying to see the Humorous / Ironic Side of Life until the end. He could have wrote this silly stuff - maybe that's where I get it from..?)
