Yes, Reb ..... you have put it better than in several of my diatribes!
Enjoy your day - mine is special. It's 5 years to the day since I set out on a 5000km cycle ride. I was left for dead by a hit and run driver (4 hours unconscious in a ditch) lost my entire life's possessions in the...
OK, thanks for tidying. Yes, Steve Hall - guilty as charged! In 6 years nobody had pointed out the "er"
This was it. I started 5 years ago today, this very day! www.theshirt2010.co.uk
I'd like to do it all again but my health is telling me that I would be a liability to myself and others...
