I hope you have a good one Roy.

If the Anthropomorphic Supernatural Supervisor provides decent Model shops in the Afterlife, then I shall indeed be missing out, Shaun. But as a committed atheist, I'll try to get the most of my 'golden' (Tamiya/Taigen) years in this life.
Needless, to say I wish you and yours well, and expect a few volleys of hangover-driven acerbic wit over the coming days. In the meantime,
a very merry Christmas to all..
Roy.

p.s
I'm staying with an exotic (Mauritian) friend who can not only cook, but can actually conjure up edible Christmas miracles..the deus ex machina of pies and pastries!
This makes crossing the border into the land of the Heathen Sassenach almost worthwhile


..but there is a proviso that I leave 'tank talk' at home in the Highlands.. Och well..

Roy, Please give mine and my lady's good wishes to your "friend",
we have very pleasing memories of Mauritius,
We try to get there each summer for 2/3 weeks of scuba diving along the Reef's,
We like staying in and around the Black River Gorge in the south west of the island,
Lovely people with a brilliant country.
As a biker I laughed like a drain when I discovered that Motorcycles on the Island are limited to 250cc EXCEPT for the Police Motorcycles which are Yamaha 900cc + Not Fair.
The country being both volcanic and hilly means that the temperatures for an Island only just south of the equator are very variable so that they grow Sugar and Tea and even Brussel sprouts.
I learnt to enjoy drinking tea on the Island at the Bois Cherie Plantation with a particular brew, Vanilla tea, really nice on a hot day.
What nobody tells you before you go is that if you don't speak French you might have a problem sometimes in some of the small shops. Shaun.

As a testament to my immaturity in old age, here's wee rib tickler. Love brussels sprouts at Christmas, or loathe them ( I love 'em...), they make for excellent flammenwerfer propellant!

LOL I have just had my Christmas day quota of them, icelands extra special ones, I hope they work,
I forced down a whole tray of them last year with the intention of giving the wife an entertaining evening and blowing
her out of bed but they didn't work all I got was stomach ache, I nearly went back to complain about
them after christmas

Roy, maybe you should change that signature to read, "Get your farts first, then you can combust them as much as you please".

And yes, I know, combust isn't really a word.

Combust is definitely a word, it's a verb, as in, "If I plug this in here without disconnecting the battery then it will produce magic smoke and combust". Strangely, it doesn't come up in the auto spelling check when its typed in online.
