Congratulations to Bazza - I wish he could have had a tea set. Let's all save the tokens from the Yorkshire Tea packets and get him one!

But he was not alone. Peter Wyton is a member here (and a mate of mine) so could we perhaps give him his own Ta-da! just to show we care and encourage him to come in from the cold?

Congratulations Bazza. Don't you get some massive tome? Ah for the days when people gave away Scotch and beer.

Default damn & blast

Yes. I get a bleedin' doorstop. I need to be careful not to drop it on my toes. It has Lilliputian print & the paper is, I think, recycled Bronco.

And I too remember the days when the bonus was a single malt. Alas, I was a malcontent even then, as Scotch whisky is one of the few alcoholic drinks I've no taste for. If I won one I had to give it away, my only consolation being that it was destroying someone else's liver.

I feel a meldrew coming on. Peace & love, etc. to all bards.

You can roll joints with the outer pages and make a hole in the middle bit to hide your stash.

There was always beer. I got some beer from Boris, though it was bloody late in coming. Cobra Beer from India. I think they should give a bottle of Plymouth Gin. I'v never actually tasted Plymouth Gin (such as Drake quaffed on the Hoe).

Ann,

I didn't know that Peter Wyton is a member here, and a mate of yours - I'm a big fan of his!!! Stop hiding your light underneath that bushel, Peter! Congratulations

Let's see more of you on the sphere, especially here on D & A.

Jayne

PS: I won the Scotch single malt whisky twice, but always wanted one of those tea-sets!

John recently channelled me for something he wrote, so I channelled him for this one.
