s'ok - I'll make an exception & get rip-roaringly drunk next time I'm sat with him :-)....I'm sure he'll sit there & smile...not.

I'll join in ChrisB. As long as you're buying.  Tongue

I haven't knowingly met ChrisB, although you never know. I have met (and drank) with bignosemac on more than one occasion (is it four?). I found him to be a most amenable chap, even when sober.

I have met, and enjoyed a quiet pint over a chat or two, with both ChrisB and bignosemac - generally in The Plough, Taunton, after a TravelWatch SouthWest meeting.  Roll Eyes

Their respective barks are rather worse than their bites, I've found.  Wink Cheesy Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
