Brilliant work. Messiahs. I defer to your better judgement and Barnsley it is.

Did I ever tell you the tale of my returning from Barnsley via the Woodhead road and stopping of to wander around Crowden for a while? I had not long since given up smoking and was rather narked that one of the people I was visiting was hand rolling Golden Virginia in Rizla liquorice papers - My former weed of choice. On the way back to Salford I decided to unwind by parking up at Crowden hostel and walking up the path at the side of the brook for half an hour or so. Well, bugger me, I had not gone 20 yards when there, on a raised area at the side of the path and, I kid you not, lit up by an errant sunbeam, was a packet of Marlboro and a Zippo lighter! Well, I took it as sign from the gods (you bastards) that I was to start smoking again. So I did.

Stopped again later of course, but it was genuine divine intervention. Is it as good as ball lightning?

bollocks!!
