Away!
I have sent an Email to all my contacts regarding me being away from the 2nd Sept up to and including the 27th Sept this being as i am going on Holidays!
So this is just for anyone else that may not have received that Email for whatever reason (sorry if i did miss you) but can all please hold any Emails to me during this period!
I will not be looking in while away,as i have a very busy and tight schedule,so any Emails sent will not get any replies !
I had suggested that the best way would be to delete my Email contact from your address Book,for the duration,and then you can always add it again after my return!
This way will ensure that when someone send out say a Joke etc to all your Email Contacts it will not get sent to me!
Thank you for your co-operation in this matter!
I will Post when i get back!
Cheers
Now be good and behave ! LOL!

Thanks for moving this Tony it is more appropriate here! Cheers

Bon Voyage Vernon,
Have a safe and happy trip and hope everything goes just as you planned. I know you won't be in my part of the world, but if things change and you find yourself on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, then let me know, you are always welcome here.
All the best Vernon,
enjoy your holiday,
John

Oh well Keith at least we met in a roundabout way on the old Sterling Castle,we were as you say Shipmates!
You know one never knows,with all our runing around on board and ashore we did most probably bump into each other,not knowing then that we would be on this site! Strange World!
Take care too shipmate!
