I've just had a liquid lunch with Pat, (Timmy Taylors, yum!) and had to tell her I've smashed up her fiddle. A normal reaction would be to poke the vandal in the eye, but our Pat took the news without any recrimination whatsoever.

She is a thoroughly bloody nice blokess, and I just wanted to shout that out, as part of my therapy for trashing her instrument.
