Thanks...

Vini, vidi, McVittie -- I came, I saw, I had a biscuit.

Last word: If them up north in funny dresses want to grab the North Pole let them, just don't ask us dahn south to subsidise it.

Re: Best bit of advice I was given

boaty is "keep your head and arse dry and the rest takes care of itself"

none boat is "If you can't see the sucker, it's you." Actually that applies to sailing too.
