There was a good turn out on Saturday for a joint 'decades' birthday party for Tony (60) and John Waltham (50) at Stourton Caundle, Dorset. Sadly, Tony was unable to be with us, as he'd been rushed into hospital earlier in the week, and suffered some radical surgery. Helen, Tony's wife, was despatched from the royal bed to tell us that we should enjoy ourselves and there were to be no miserable songs - as if anybody could match Tony in the miserable song stakes!

It's a shame that Tony couldn't be there, so I thought I'd open this thread so we could have an world wide on-line version, and I'm inviting old and new friends, fans, enemies, etc to share their most ridiculous moments, fruity stories, and so on, with Tony, which I'll get to him every few days, and perhaps raise a chuckle for the old bugger.
