Maybe he thought he should pay his respect at your funeral, when you know who finds out.

May I suggest a one half valium crushed and served in her mushroom sauce, before you tell her.
And for yourself, a few grammes of some anti-inflamitory to ease the swelling from the lumps and bruises you will recieve.
Happy Valentines Day Dave.

That covers tonight! So what happens when you try to eventually smuggle it home?

I can just hear it now. Oh darling, sweetheart, look what Alan has just given me!
Alan has given you? You wait till I give you this!

You better start running mate. Anna's made up the spare bed ready.

When I read the title I though you were talking about me h0ughy. I was close though...another Qlder. Sounds like a nice bloke. We'll have to get him up to Cambroon to meet him.

I hate to disappoint you mate, but I don't think his driving down to delivery may be for completely altruistic reasons. Personally I just think he want to see what sky with no clouds looks like






Jeanette, I don't think half a valium will do it. Frankly I think h0ughy will have to swap the normal mushrooms for ones that "make look things not are they as". Either that or ply her with the Chardy for the next 3 years. That is the only way he will get it in the house without her seeing it.

A new piece of astronomy equipment on Feb 14?? Are you nuts ! (silly question, sorry )

I don't think I'll even be daring to step foot near my observatory tonight, I know better. In fact, I won't even be mentioning it's clear blue skies outside

H0ughy, the best tale would be that he has offered to loan it to you. Of course it will be a bitter disappointment to the television crew that Mark has sold the story of your impending marital battle to....

I thought you would have constructed a EQ6 shaped moulded plastic cover to sit over the mount which only comes off at night ... guess it isn't too late to do this
