Enjoy MM & brings back nice memories of our invites to the Tam o Shanter in Coventry on Burns night. Seem to remember that the drams of necter arrived in bottles so no messing around having to visit the bar :D

Why did you remove my response to your Post? There was nothing offensive in that! Or are you just trying to be seen to Bow to peer pressure from the Lily White Snowflakes

Sorry, it was Mephistopheles who did all the work. He operated on his own bat without my permission. This is what happens when you give subordinates too much power. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
