    Have a great time. Say "Cheerio" to the Queen for me and ask how my knighthood is coming along if you get the chance.

    Sorry Im issed you mate cos I `m in freakin freazin ABerddeen for 2 days (one day up an back plus hyperbaric in between....greta stuydff and a staff of 5 with me which is def not NHS standards )
    god this IBM s gonna be the death of me or maybe somebody else when I chiuck it out a window.
    Greggs are still the best but so many shops now onl;y do certain of their pastries and I miss my Ice fingers a bit.
    Hav a pint on me in the Green next the Little Chef at White MAre Pool., my uncles got it now tho` you`ll not find him working in the bar too often. Meals are still reasonable tho` even if I `m not there to sort the chef out no more.
    Like an ol` 8086, slow but serviceable.
    One advantage of old age...nobody can tell you how much cake you can eat

    Oh so You`re in the Kingdom then. Not the Kingdom Hospital tho` is it.
    Just back an forth tm Aberdeeeen as they say and that was my fisrt trip.
    Morphine don mak e it easier to typre either.
    ACtually in a private clinic jus up from the Forth Bridges with a gloroious view and excellent gardens. It only has 26 patients and Santa Fe are still paing the bills for Blue Cross medicare so I `m well looked after excep for the IBm which was a solid (around 30 pouns ) machine in its day and the only spare they could find as everybody here uses lappies and ultra portables an the whole place is on Gb ethernet an wifi ( expensive crap Cisco wifi ).
    Even got a bed for the wife but the place si also like a prison as they take high security people or summat so to visit means getting vetted and not jus on patient say so. On eof the teiwns was a bit miffed (easy domne) cos she`s got super high clearance in bothe EU and US but they insisted on vetting her and a medical cos she`s been in French Giuianan....try thT gIIN OH SH***T SCHEISEN ETC....
    fRENCH guIANA O bO***KS. u KNOW WHERE i MEAN MEBBE .
    Gotta go, surface sometimw tomorrow, that lii button on a srting is too dam handy..one for more, one dfor less

    I slip ya a mallet to fix that keyboard with sounds like the sticky keys settings are screwy or the keyboard needs a good clean..
