| Springy,
If you're staying at iSandlwana Lodge, please tell Rob I'm waiting for the call to do my repeat performance at Rorke's Drift!
Lucky devil, I guess it makes up for the rugby the other day.

| Hello springy mate. You lucky so and so. You just take care of the ticker and don't try to overdo things buddy. I hope that you get some good piccies mate. Oh! and by the way, you know that I am English, but that I also have Welsh connections, so I should have replied to your remark about me being Welsh with a little bit of the old G&S in as follows. "But in spite of all temptations, to belong to other nations, I remain an Englishman". Enjoy yourself Frank, and take care. Martin. |
