But, the friends I do have, like Paul, whom I have known since about 1980 (he was the rhythym guitar player in my first band!) are honest and true and take me for the wally that I am! I would trust these people with my life. I am indeed a fortunate man. :¬)<br><br>(Hows the forehead coming along?) :¬)<br><br>Pat; I think You would get on quite well with Paul, and him with you!

Paul fitted a new shower for me a couple of weeks ago and would only take money for the materials!
