    No Marco. I'm not keen on meat really, corned beef and bangers are about it. I like poultry and fish though.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Ah I see... So when you have a fry-up, it's just 'bangers' for the meat content? Pork and ham are from the same animal, though...

    None whatsoever and it didn't even look real, too small. You'd think a Dutch cop would know that as they all carry weapons.

    Of course arriving back in the UK there was no customs check at all, just get off the plane, walk down a corridor and you're out on the street.

    I suppose a box of grenades and a couple of Makarovs would be a 'no-no' then?

    Yes, except that security at a half a dozen different airports had no issue with it prior to that. And not going to put my house keys in a check in bag as if they lose it I can't get back into the house.

    I wear a chain round my neck when out, with a front door key (and a medical alert tag) on it.
