TerryQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 29 February 2012 17:19156644looks like there is no point on us starting a forum whip round for jim.
when i went past it was easy to get into de brad's shops but it looked like the cafe next door was cut off. - 13 April 2012 15:51165278not sure what they mean here, possibly something on the big screen?

- 16 May 2012 08:30172643I'll get my man to put out my top hat and tails, Ginger where are you when I want you
Puttin' down my top hat,

Seriously though La Boheme is a beautiful 'Lurve' story, one to watch, don't forget your 'kleenex'

20 June 2012 08:05179066No Howard, Mr Nunn will have his feet firmly on the ground by the war memorial. I remember three years ago dear old Ron from the town hall ran the flag up early during Pat Heath's speech. Pat ad libbed about a "dress rehearsal"!
TerryQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 5 July 2012 11:12181454and there's more, could be very busy if there is british interest in the final.
