A great day then Ian. Many more of them to come we all hope.

Indeed, Lesley the large grey beast it was.... but I was more thinking, in my best lateral fashion, if the old joke...... "Do you like Kipling?"
"I don't know, I've never kippled" ....... leading me to believe that HAD one ever Kippled, one would remember, and thus, would Kipling, like the elephant, never  forget or be forgotten......
Yes, I know, I have a most convoluted thought process ......I'm off for a lie down!

Yes, definitely the elephant. Mr Kipling made exceedingly good cakes. ;D

Sorry Maggi, I should have followed the convolutions more astutely. I was thinking of the elephant's child actually. I had so much Kipling in my childhood that I can still recite a lot of the Just So Stories by heart and in a sort of sing/song voice. "Not always was the kangaroo as now we do behold him....." etc. Which calls to mind that WE BEAT AUSTRALIA IN A CRICKET GAME LAST NIGHT!!!!!

Probably the elephant did too Anthony ;D

Reminds me of the even older joke:

Well thanks everyone but as David points out..... I'll save these up for a week. :)

I've had to remind Roger that next week is the big day and not because he got it early. He hadn't got it at all. Also marked the relevant date on my son's calendar when I last visited his house. :D
