I can't join you Jennie, because I am having my knee fixed this week, no more clicking!

Maggie, stop with the OFU, we are all young at heart. Although I have to admit I won't be dirty dancing either. Doesn't quite go with Laser Love !!

I wouldn't know about dirty dancing

Good wishes for your knee, Zippy, you'll be Zipping about in no time.

Best you leave your Pinkun at home Maggie or I'll be forced to get me Greenun out..

Has this got anything to do with the old party game "Are you there, Moriaty?" ?

You lie blindfolded on the floor, holding hands at arms length, facing each other. (Can you imagine that so far? It's perfectly respectable!) Each person is armed with a rolled up newspaper (a pink un could be the FT?). One person shouts "Are you there Moriaty?", and when the other replies "Yes", the first person tries to wack him (or her) over the head with the aforementioned weapon. The other will naturally try to roll out of the way, so it is a game of skill, anticipation (and pain!). The roles are then reversed. I think this goes on until one surrenders, or First Aid is required... I forget the details.

I havn't personally played for many years, as I have recurring shoulder problems. Probably not a good idea for after the concert either, as Sticky has got another gig the following day...

 @Maggie,  6 exclamation marks and 3 question marks ...

I feel like I've been "Moriated", and I only asked an innocent question!

@Zippy - could be, I suppose, but not essential
