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

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

....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?

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 !

They appear to have been right where they belonged in that musty, moldy, old basement.

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 !
