Something only the very brave or the very foolhardy care to contemplate.
Also Rob.
I might have mastered the smilies but not the other stuff and while I admire and respect Ray Hanna as a pilot I wouldn't get you to drive all the way to Chailey just so I could kiss him.
Fundamental difference there I think.
Cheers

Mike, perhaps you'd like to enlighten us while you're still at work?

Shouldn't you be making a nuisance of yourself, sorry, volunteering, somewhere else today?
ps, I've been informed (somewhat forcefully) that a very large box of Putnams is waiting at home for me this evening.

Mike, you should know by now that women just don't understand anorakish book obsessions and they never will.

By now then, I imagine that you know what 'You're in the dog house' is in Polish too.
Don't get too excited opening the box.

Boys, Hawk translates to "Buse" in French.
A Falcon would have to be a "Faucon"!
Sorry to disappoint the lot...

Hmmm.
Is that Quebec French or French from France old boy?
Any variants on the word Hawk you like are welcome...

It's French French.
A Hawk is a Buse, and a Faucon is a Falcon.
We don't invent bird names over here, we just shoot and eat them!
