I wish Iain. Unfortunately, they're not that stupid any more. I'll just have to wait until April, but rest assured, I will have a bottle by the 4th April.

Thanks Grace. I think I learned my lesson from this.

I just got home from spending 4 nights in hospital with more drips in me than an irrigation system. The reason why - was my own pig headedness and ignoring the advice of my wife. What happened was as follows:
Last Saturday at 2.00am whilst in bed, I started shaking quite violently for around half an hour and I put it down to the flu. My wife wanted to take me to the hospital (which is only 2 mins away) but I said I'd be OK.
Saturday - didn't feel well all day, but kept taking panadol flu tabs until bed time. During the night the shaking returned and once again, I put it down to the flu.
Sunday - didn't feel well all day and went to bed at 5.00pm. Shaking started again and this time, my wife forced me to go to see a doctor. He said that the flu would not give me the temperature that I had and took some blood tests and I had a chest xray.
After 1 hour, the results came back and the doctor called me to his office from the waiting area. I asked "when can I go home?" and he said "I'm admitting you for treatment".
It transpires that what I thought to be flu - was infact PNEUMONIA.
He also told me that the shaking was due to a high fever and at my age - was prime fuel for a stroke or heart attack or both.
That frightened the sh1t out of me - especially as it was on my birthday.
So peeps, don't self diagnose - go see a doctor - please.

I'd have some great fun trying to check it in as baggage at Gatwick - "Excuse me sir - Did you pack this yourself?"

Went on-line this morning to book Acle Bridge for dinner on the 2nd of April 2016 and they couldn't do 7.00pm for 3 pax. They offered 8.00pm and I accepted - but it's nice to see that the broads are busy and I hope it continues.

Welcome to the forum Vaughan. It sounds like you live in an idilic place, but I agree that the broads is something special. I have cruised in the Med, Scotland, Holland and all around Indonesia but I still like my fix on the broads. The two girls in my avatar are my daughters who make up the Riyadh Crew.

Hi Steve,
It has been banned out here. No decorations, no turkey, no nothing. Just a normal day.

to the forum from us here in Riyadh. No boats i"m afraid,

It's still cheaper than water.
91 octane is 10p (yes pence) per litre
95 octane is 11p per litre
Diesel is (are you sitting down?) 6.5 pence per litre

I just got a new computer yesterday and I can't seem to get any of the cameras, or the web site that supports the cameras. Does anyone know of a general problem, or is it me? Thanks in advance.
