    Yup, no worries... Didn't know your amps were away. Are they getting fixed - when will they be back?

    Yeah, we're fine and dandy, thanks. Del's like an excited kid, looking forward to Chrimbo and being spoiled, lol! How's Colin been doing? PM me if you prefer

    The amp was returned yesterday after some extensive work, just got it back in the system and loving it again...

    Glad you are both good.. Colin is doing very well at the moment, thanks for asking... we are at Southampton hospital on Monday just to take presents for his consultant and a couple of the nurses...Brunello di Montalcino of course as he seems to love it

    Del says a big "Hi", btw!

    So glad to hear that Colin's doing well, as it wasn't looking so good a few months back. Good choice of the Brunello - the king of Italian wines! If you need some wine reccos, give me a shout, as I've got a few more nice ones up my sleeve that I think would blow away Colin's consultant

    Say a big Hi back to Del for me...

    As you say it wasn't looking too good for Colin a while back but he's on yet another trial drug which seems to be doing the trick at the moment.... his consultant is always going on about the Brunello so that's what we are giving him.... next time I'll get you to give me some more choices though

    Hope you and Del have a great Christmas...

    Default How to wreck a car accidentally - out of ignorance

    This guy was lucky/unlucky. Just look at the wreck of his car.

    https://apple.news/Aefc8ZF-WSFmZOqxyTFx6GA

    Easy to be wise after the event. He was lucky to escape, but perhaps many people could do this without thinking or knowing.
