Thanks Piglet. Always useful to have some previous experience to rely on 

Thanks LT.

Whato Steve.  Been hiding in girlfriends lap!  Actualy got engaged last Thursday.  At my age!

Thinking of following the LMES to Spa this year.  Info on the web seems rather disjointed.  Anyone know the best way to get tickets, book camping etc?

Well, we stayed at the Auberge le Bounty this year.  Very nice place owned by Steve, and run by Alan and Nikki.  Food was great, and anice little bar.  Made a nice change from the campsite melee, and with more bogs and showers per head.  recommended to anyone who wants a little more peace with shuttle bus service to and from the circuit.

He must have a LOT of spare cash for that.  Many thousands if I remember correctly.

I think I would hate him too.  How long did it take him to build?

Saw one of those kits at a steam fair a couple of years ago.  Looks like a lot of hard work, but the finished item was awesome.  They did some other kits (traction engines and the like) but that tank was very impressive.

Now that looks like fun

That seems to be the general idea.  Should make for an interesting Dinner!

Nothing to do with Nurses and Doctors, I assure you.  It's apparently all very festive, if a little brief, if you get my meaning. 

I'm getting one of these for Chistmas 

Sad new indeed   

Not sure about the other part of your message, but she's talking about a special outfit on Christmas day.  Something to do with Ann Summers whoever she is 

Any chance of clearing the arteries, and restarting the heart?
