I have just been informed that the present Mrs. DeanMeister is indeed engaged tomorrow evening, so it appears unlikely that I will make an appearance at the Hase. This is a disappointment, as I have spent all evening building a special harness to facilitate the carriage of the newly acquired Double Bass on the back of my motorcycle, with a view to committing a violent act on Sue the Piper.

I woz also9 planning on giving jOhn9 a slap, and buying Doug a pint. Oh, and possibly playing a little music. I may appear, as in a vision, later in the proceedings, wearing leather jhodpurs and a purple (ish) helmet. Depending on wether 'er indoors has managed to escape from the clutches of a load of loony women (Dodgy Bird included) at one of these Anne Summers thingies. What happens at them, anyway? Is it a sort of make up party? Should I go to see what it's all about? Can anyone help me???? jOhn9?
