So it's time for a vacation / holiday

Hello Pete,

Whiskey? That would be way north. Anyhow, Slainte Mhath! Enjoy them find single malts up there. And the McEwan's Heavy with some Haggis.

Not even a little one?

Hey sounds good, hope the midges are hibernating.

BTW does Genome need a break?

Not completely frozen (yet), nice and sunny today. Should that have been "completely legless for 10 days"?

So, let me see if I have this straight: Your early years were spent in a place where (one supposes) they spoke with a Scottish burr and moved to the American South where you developed a drawl then moved back across the pond.

Oh, I'm sure you'll find an internet cafe *somewhere* out there...

Old roommate of mine (from college days) went to Ireland a few years ago, and told me about the Unreal Tournaments they'd hold at the cafes... (Redeemer! Redeemer!)

Only if my wife decides to go shopping with my cousin's wife - then we'll head to the links and have a wee dram at the 19th hole.

It's a long story ;)

The trail is roughly

Started as you assume Moved to east side of London (mixing cockney with a heavy burr is amusing to say the least) and then to a nice little place called Broadstairs. Spent 12 years looking at water and the occasional foreign port Moved to Saudi Arabia and learned Arabic (I was on the road a lot) Went to NZ and Oz for a while, then to USA - spent over 20 years in the south Moved back here 2 1/2 years ago

The reasons behind those various moves would make a novel that can never be written so as to protect the guilty ;)

Well, I suppose s.e.d. would atrophy and die if there wasn't at least a small flame war going on somewhere ;)

It's not really cold yet. I was on the way to a customer Tuesday and it was quite 'bracing' but I got many a look from other drivers as I toodled down the A1 at 80 with my window down. Probably thinking 'Bloody fool' - they just don't breed 'em hardy anymore is all I can say ;)

I think Genome needs to be broken - is that close enough?

Cheers

PeteS

Sounds like he's already broken, and needs a fix. ;-)

Cheers! Rich
