    Just a thought, guys

    Good shout Marco, we will keep it in mind.

    Another potential problem is that 17th June is fathers day so might create an issue (earache) for some!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Update -

    Disappointingly, the venue we have enquired with is fully booked until November!

    A third option, located in Penkridge, which is about 30 minutes south of Stoke, may be available.

    Finding a suitable venue is proving harder than anticipated. Apologies that its now dragging on.

    I'll post an update as soon as I get one.

    I feel for you, all that enthusiasm and then.............. but you don't need to apologise. Himley's not far from you, maybe you should book the Crooked House (is it still standing?). Now that would be fun trying to level a turntable.
