    A bit of respect here lads :mad: There's nothing wrong with being over 66 and retired. I spent the last few sunny days cleaning up my boat and getting ready for a long hot summer :) No more hours on my knees, freezing / wet days, smelly boilers for me :D Heading to Cork to see grandchildren on Friday. Using free travel :p and won't have car, so can't meet scudo this time :(

    Might have saved a lot of trouble if I found it a few months ago.

    btw. Just searched for the packman emoticon meaning....it seems I am well entitled to use it. It is a retro smiley from a time when we all remembered that as an advanced computer game. :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

    Gave me a good laugh... sooo I am almost exactly halfway between Scudo and Jim ;)

    I had to rescue one of the lads today. He was trying to unblock a sewer. 17 rods with a 4" rubber plate in and nothing. He went to pull them out. Only 4 came out. Is there anything worse
