Hehehe... That's the intention!
Why do you think Del's registered here as Lily Munster?
The antique knocker on our door also has a bat on it, haha!! And remember the Hammer House of Horror series from the 70s?
That little side window of ours reminds me of the one shown in the old house in the theme tune, where the monk (or whoever) blows out the candle and descends the room into darkness......
I absolutely LOVED that series!!!

Come to think of it, there are rather a lot of unexplained disappearances from the forum, people who suddenly stop posting after Marco gets friendly with them!Originally Posted by chris@panteg

Though from the side it looks kind of forboding , sort of like he who enter's shall never return

Erm, guys, this amount of information about who you are and where you live just isn’t clever.
You may like to think that the world is full of nice people but the bad news is it isn’t.
My mate reckons he could find 2 of you inside 5mins; who you are, where you live, your phone numbers and a bit more besides. Fortunately this guy is one of the good guys, the next one may not be.
Seriously, it ain’t a nice world and most of you seem like nice people. Don’t put this sort of stuff on an internet forum.

Hi John,
Don't worry, I have a best friend called 'Holland & Holland', whom I'd introduce intimately to any bad men who came calling!
I appreciate your concern, though
Marco.
