    Hmm - I guess I can find him a nice home Paul - if I really have to ;)

    I'm only along the coast in Portsmouth too - so he shouldn't get too home sick.

    Still no idea when mine will be here btw. Ordered June 30th - and apart from the dealer phoning me 3 weeks ago to say it will be delayed "by 2 or 3 weeks" later than the estimated delivery date of Sept 25th - not a dicky bird. No build date. No estimated delivery date. No nothing.

    I'm resigned to the fact that it will be delivered sometime in...October. :blink:

    Glad to hear it!

    I'm sure it'll be a "hoot" (pun intended!) when I do finally get my mits on it. Just in time for all this rain too...

    All the best with your 'man flu' too. Huh - women will never understand just how bad that can be for a fella. Here's hoping it isn't swine flu!

    Exactly - this is far worse than giving birth and they make such a song and dance about that and make the guy pay forever more always going on about how having a child ruined them . . . Hello, its what your body was designed to do!
