    c.f. "MI5" and "MI6"

    We're not supposed to ever talk about MI 1, 2, 3 and 4! :naughty::cool:


    Ooops! I better delete this post.:doh:

    Is the numbering even sequential? Maybe it's 1, 11, 21, 31 like some US house numbering systems.

    I remember reading that Lou Grades GTV studios in Manchester had only two TV studios but he numbered them 4 and 6 to make it the whole business look bigger.;)

    No, its sequential. I remember the same complaints on our job. I thinks points of contact count as a number on the list. ? :D.

    We also had people turn up look throw hands up then walk away.

    I'm slightly surprised that creosote does not sting or cAuse more serious harm. It's powerful enough to kill funguses that attack wood, after all.

    It's odd that creosote has appeared in this context, as one of my fave tunes right now (with rather a cool video) is this.

    Seems sensible .... I'll also now delete past posts.

    I'm up for "any time, nothing else to match with it, but preferably not too early as I want it to be a pleasant amble/drive and not get caught up in commuter traffic".



    Too late to delete the posts! They are meeting on Wednesday (or was it Friday?) at Ikea Wembley, or was it B&Q? Anyway, I remember it all quite distinctly.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Wasn't it Porcelanosa for a hot dog?

    I don't expect a rush to intercept three middle-aged women who are meeting to have a bun and a coffee .....

    Have you met LiR? We may have to fight them off on her behalf.

    It's ok, some one tried to kidnap me once I thought about it and realised that as no sylph sitting down was my best defence. :o

    Nobody expects MI4!:shhh:

    I'd check the flower vase on the table when you get there before you talk about anything important :naughty: It was Aldi at Aldershot wasn't it?

    Fir has been asked to send pictures of one of his horns ( he plays mainly vintage instruments) to help with someone's research. This one is a really special one as its the oldest one he has. Its actually an Adolphe Sax Sax! ( I think its the son of the inventor, not sure) anyway, the researcher, has responded and he thinks dh's might be a particularly special one and wants pictures of the f key and stuff and asks if he might know how much he paid for it.

    DH feels 'it was a gift' might seem just too lucky an answer. Even if it is super special/ valuable he wouldn't part with it.
