A message from the JustGiving website people.....

Here's a link to the page itself, which shows £1065 'dreckly' and £226 'extracted from The Revenue' in Gift Aid, which is a whopping £1291....

So, from me, another big thank-you to all who contributed, and to those who helped 'keep the pot boiling' for so long.

Well done OldBilbo!
Did you keep that quiet?
How are the knees?

Don't forget, now that the rehearsal's gone well, you have now been promoted to the rank of #1 Operative for the Lounge's Rapid Intervention Force. You can abseil down the outside of YBW/Time Inc's office block and swing in through the window.

My dear Claisie, Vyv, Boreades....

My true thanks for your kind wurds.

As for a 'Second Edition' ( gawd forbid ! ), let me please remind you that the difficulty lies not in the gravity-aided descent, but in the knee-knackering climb to the top. Much as it grieves me to admit to that....

However, should some kind soul procure a really pretty girlie 'up top' like the last time, I'm sure I could rise to the occasion.....

You should be past procuring Girlies with your knees, take a leaf out of Prince Andrew's book - oh well, mebbes not
