Do you think you could just ask them to store the boat and repeatedly crane it in & out over the entire weekend (just to get yer money's worth....)

So if you could add that to the list Mike please.

cheers

Jon
Everything is now printed Jon but we will make a seperate item for this on the listing and a seperate announcement. Very much appreciated.

I will contact Gill tomorrow and thank her.

To make things a little simpler, I've created a user account for Eric, and modded yours to be a little more personal.

I'll PM you Eric's (Higgins) temporary password.

Good to see the "Small Photographer" taking pics of people for a change!

He found it strange not hanging out of a helicopter.

Jim O'Toole wants to market him for Weddings, Bar Mitzvah and Christening's next!

Webmaster (whoever he is) rebuilt the site, updated and ran out of steam.

I suspect this time tomorrow - it should be all good again.

Poor show.
