Hi Annie. I thought I'd take a few weeks off as I hardly have the time to dwell in my house at the moment, let alone spend endless hours reading all the fascinating threads and spending God alone knows how many hours in the Mudchat. It was convenient to pretend to take humberage at the ire expressed about the Hull drivel and duck out for a bit. It is a very difficult thing to leave anyway and I'll pop in from time to time.

Please someone start a new thread entitled "PEL in Post-Sadaam Iraq9". This would help I'm sure, to unite the good people of the USA and those in Hull.

Banjo-Flower sends me postcards from the far east - and I'm not talking Withernsea or Lowestoft here. In return, I have burgled his house and am now wearing his jewels, his hat and his fun fur jacket.
