In other words: not a good match, no wind, a ref. not seeing everything.
More luck than skill.  ::) ::) ::) but happy though.

Ach they're just jealous and sulking Luit  ;)

Thanks for all your messages of support folks, it means a lot.
Unfortunately this one can't be beat - it is too far on.
I can only fight it with the chemo to give me more time with the family.
And I can assure you that no one will fight this more than me.

It is a terrible thing to happen to you Ian, I know they hit you with the news on your 40th Birthday which was adding insult to injury, but you amze me with the strength you are showing.
Mind you, with a great wife like Irene and those BEAUTIFUL daughters, if any man had a great incentive to fight, then it must be you. 
Make your hay while you can.....and get going on that "bucket list"  :-* :-*

We forgot Kim when we were counting famous Belgians  -  that makes it 5 now I think  ;D

Don't forget the guy - or more likely girl  :) - who invented the biscuits.  :P

Will do Cliff. I want to try to persuade him to let me take a picture as I'm sure many on The Forum will, like me, have devoured virtually every word he has written but never seen him for real.

David

You are in for a treat.  Brian is a charming man who effortlessly delivers a talk that is informative, witty and leaves everyone wanting more.

I am fortunate in being able to meet Brian at Cyclamen Society Committee meetings. ;)
