Hey Brian the good Lord does not let guys who have led a life like yours bugger off too early much more to do so you will be in Dunedin next year no worries (:

I can only echo George's comments. it was a pleasure and an honour to have had his company for a couple of days. I won't ever forget it. Been good to know you Lou.

Hi Colin,when Lou was looking for another trip to do I was not slow in coming forward in suggesting Southampton as I knew George and yourself would be pleased to meet up with him and give him a good time.I hope the John Smiths was getting a bit of a seeing to and I'm just sorry that I could not be there to join in .
Regards.
Jim.B.

Jim Mate, we honestly never found any John Smiths, something even I found strange, such is life though. Jim it was very good of you to point Lou in our direction, and thank you for doing so. Just a little sad that Colin and I were the only ones that had the pleasure of meeting with Lou. I'm sure Syd would have come, but he is away on holiday at the moment. Jim would be great to see you here in Southampton if you ever get the chance, be nice to put the world to rights, We will be sorting out the Southampton meet up when Syd gets back from his Holidays, maybe you could make it for that fingers crossed.
