I'm getting visions of one-ended sticks being desperately grasped at hitherto unseen (by those of the population who still have a braincell or two intact) ends.

Meanwhile, I look forward to masses of stuff being offloaded on eBay or preferably Freecycle. I'll start with my non-English and thus terminally tainted electric bass which, after a minimum of experimentation, I realise I can't play anyway and look forward to picking up some Leicestershire pipes forthwith. Maybe you'll see me annoying the world at the 2012 opening ceremony.
