No binks for me lately unfortunately but there's still time. I feel as though I'm due.

You honourable Lord tikay,

Not that I play online an awful lot, but I've played a few sats on Sky Poker recently and the fact there is no timebank tilts the life out of me!

Please could you use your senior authority Lord T and lean on the developers to add a little timebank? I fold a lot act quite quick generally but when I do need to think, it tends to be for a good reason. I'm sure there'll be more suggesting the same...?

Thanking you,

Paul.

Actually, having thought about this a little I reckon that it might well now be a working-holiday rather than just a holiday.

The clue being that Tikay wasn't sure what date he has booked suggesting to this suspicious mind that his "people" have booked it for him and we all know who they are...

TK, you're the kind of man who'd appreciate the achievements here:

Pretty much fundamentally changed the world, and I bet not 1 in 100000 people had ever heard of him.

Nope, I had not heard of him, but I have now!

I HAD heard of the trucker, Malcolm Mclean, who effectively started the ball rolling in the 50's, by chance Tom & I had been discussing that very guy the previous week, as there had been a TV programme about how Shipping Containers have literally changed the world.  And my oh my, they have.

Now there are ships that can carry as many as 19,000 TEU's - "Twenty Foot Equivelants". Awesome.

For the geeks only.....

More please!

I doubt there is anything I enjoy more - a good book apart - than wildlife photos.

Thank you.

Incredible!

I'm hoping to get all the Attenborough "Life of...." CD's shortly. Endless hours of nature pervery.

thought you'd appreciate this



Concorde :adore:

Duly appreciated, Ryan. Wish my BA shares would be as exciting.....2.82 last time I looked. I think they peaked at around £7 back in the day. Groan.

Talking of ads, you seen the new SkyBet ad? (spam ftw).

What if.....

So what happened on September 19th?

 

Give up Ralph - you'll have to remind me.

My Diary says "AGCC Hearing, London" (eventually held in camera) & "865 Channel Review".

Gissa clue....

There was an old man called tikay
'Gramps' was his common sobriquet
Fell dead did his diary
Prompted an enquiry
Looks like Sky Poker has stole him away

My job seems to be like painting the Forth Bridge. Immensely satisfying, though, & it keeps me out of mischief. I think I'd die if I had nothing to do.
