Anyone on Foxnwolf's mailing list will know that he is indisposed for a while. Probably too many "jumping over tall buildings and head butting walls" whilst in the Corps, followed by too many days pounding a beat with the Met ( and, as I was working for the Met for three years after leaving the Corps, too many hours on his backside in a sandwich bar !!!!!!!). Basically his knees are knackered; can't sit; can't stand; no point in him trying to drive that bloody manual AC Cobra then, is it ? ( Can I borrow it till you're back on your feet, pal ?)

In the immediate short term, give me a shout on here and I'll try to help. I will, if I have time over the weekend, set up a new email address for this purpose and post it on here so that if you are unsure about anything, you can drop me a line.

For the moment, just post on either the General Blog site or on Gongdonkey ( it will show you as the originator). If you select "General Blog" it may get a wider readership - just "unclick" Main Page and scroll down - and select the pages you want to post it on ........ there's lots to choose from !

Gongdonkey.

p.s. I'll have a chat with Foxnwolf to see if I can "officially" take some weight from him - but I'm on the sick, lame and lazy parade too ! However,  you'd be amazed how well you cope with painkillers, drugs and red wine by the large one !!! Now, my specialist tells me that one unit of red wine per day could do more good than harm - so, what is a unit? Because I suspect that I may just, as I type, be toasting HM Queen Elizabeth's 123rd birthday !
