I had to duck as the bats whizzed silently past the upturned brim of my Pith helmet, but there in the soft sputtering light from an original copy of an Ancient Egyptian oil lamp, (Ebay, 3 quid) lay my baby, naked except for a 2" layer of crud! Dried soap, skin flakes and goodness only knows what else, disfiguring the carefully crafted surfaces so meticulously sculpted by the ancient mountain people of Old Helvetica. There He was 'The Master' looking feintly like one of his lesser contemporaries, still dignified in this state of undress. What would I do next? Will the photo's come out? Will Chesea beat Liverpool in the Premiership All these questions and any others will be answered as soon as I get back from the pub. To be cont...... |

No worries, just checking. I didn't want you popping the bezel and breaking it. I would feel responsible.
ETA: Don't forget, there is a pork chop in every pint! |
