I'm sorry but I can't make it tonight - rehearsing for Paddy's night. I will be there next week though. Bloke - can you put in a few quid for me for Jo's present? Don't forget to extract the money from me next week - you may need a flanged speculum for this!

While on flanged specula, it would be really really nice to see Oaklet with his fiddle. Being spring, he should be resplendent in his alpha male prime.

Richard.
