A lot of water under the bridge since this thread started 15 years ago. I no longer travel the country (Ireland) in a company car, repairing broken hardware, trying at all times to get home at a decent hour to see my wife and children. I am now a very mature aging student, on Erasmus in the Czech Republic, nice country and very nice people and I am returning to the Mudcat after an absense of about 10 years. It's great to see the Mudcat is still active and relevant, and what's more, still being updated and added to.
I asked the question all those years ago, 'Who was the daughter of the man from Scapa Flow?' The answer took a while in arriving, but arrive it did. Well done and how nice. You know, reading something like that, it touches a spot, it's personal, it's nice, it's lovely and great that you share this piece of private, intimate knowledge with a wider community. Well done and thanks. That made my evening.
