i'm so happy to hear that things are going well after the second operation.

if you decide to travel from munich to salzburg by train have you thought of buying a euro rail card and use the excellent european train system for the whole of your trip

if you feel like a bit of an adventure then there is an excellent site 'the man in seat 61' where you can plan and book your whole rail itinerary

Wow Ken, you are so so knowlegable, you should apply to go on Eggheads.

Yes, Christy is a nice man, I mean a really really really nice man

i didn't have you down as a 'mine's-bigger-than-yours' alpha type male.....nevertherless i shall take up the challenge....

.....in my cellar i have a very interesting collection of human body parts (image1) courtesy of a friendly theatre nurse from the local hospital.....as you can see i have now bought one of the boxes up from the cellar into my computer room (image2)....so howsabouty one more little 'what's in the box' quiz before i head out to greece.....the size of the box may help you then again it could be of no help at all....

....i was thinking of limiting entries from christy moore fans only but i don't think that would be fair to the musically challenged amongst us.........i shall dig out a couple of rare leonard cohen recordings for the first prize........

...so............WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

Ken
You will have to make your competitions more difficult . It is blatantly obvious in the box is your old walking boots that caused your toe nail to fall off . I can smell them from here . Either that or my lovely Jean has been on the curry again !

I have thought long and hard and have decided in the box is .................... an ear.

Tinders what a nice surprise for you Christy Moore turning up although it might not have been a surprise if you saw his name in the appointment book.

YL I am currently selling a puncture repair outfit for a good price.

Paula, I was not really that impressed when Christy came in but I was when I helped Donovan to choose his glasses.


Phil page 50 on this thread.... if it is still going by Kracow, I think you promised me a drink, and if germany win I promised you one... so we will probably cancel out the drinks bill, you will be pleased to know.

What do you mean IF it's still going . Oh you of little faith! And don't forget in yorkshire the beer comes in pints but in germany the beer comes in steins which means I will be drunk before you ! Nice one !
