Compadresinister "The USS Enterprise is off the shores of this little town right now" says Rob from the south. We cannae go any faster! says this Scot. James T Kirk: used to wear a corset on set cos he was so drunk and had to look in a state of non-fat fitness as he said authoritatively 'beam me up' on the surface Planet Zog anon. As for aircraft carriers, I saw the HMS Ark Royal during a boat tour of Plymouth Harbour undergoing a fit-out. My grandpa engineered guns on the HMS Indefatigable during the Second of our World wars and the fact that we don't have an aircraft carrier of such long name and weighty tonnage at present speaks loudly of our lost heritage.

Well done Alasdair! I applaud you for your efforts. Personally, I don't know what to bring. Maybe sandwiches?

I believe the New Yorkers are having a picnic also. Well done Julie! :) "It is better to be interested in the changing seasons than to be hopelessly in love with Spring" George Santayana how true; Liz Daplyn:) past finals too! why do they call them finals except for the need for respite; relief and well-deserved comfort. :) I'm glad I'm on this list Gordon P.S.
