If he was a real mate, he'd combine the two for you and have the stag do in Chamonix or similar.

Missed the cutoff for Tuesday. Wasn't much to report anyway.

Haven't you got a bloddy job yet? FFS.

Surely a criminal record isn't an issue over there?

It's a prerequisite for a career here.

And No, still unemployed.

Haven't you got a shed load of stuff you could sell and retire?

Shed contents are currently being flogged off slowly, yes. Even made a (little) profit on some of the bits, but the overall effect is still a loss. Wonder if I can write that off on my tax. Stevo??

Semi-retirement is tempting. If we can get this house finished to the point it can be sold, we'll do ok. A few places in the street have changed hands just lately for reasonably encouraging prices.

Then move to Alice Springs. You can live in a tent - no heating required. Cheap. Then write your memoirs. I have an old antique tripe writer you can borrow. I want it back though. Shouldn't take more than a week anyway

...Porky prime cuts? I used to have a vinyl single where the chap who had cut the original disc had scratched that in the bit where the run-out groove was, he'd sort of signed it. It said "Another porky prime cut", in tiny hand-written letters.

yep that's it, george peckham used to put it on discs he mastered

Always wondered where that came from. I used to buy white label 12" records and I've got one with that scratched on it.

Never been to The Alice. Bl00dy cold in winter I hear. It's approximately the same distance for me as London - Moscow for you lot.

My memoirs are too sordid for print.
