How are you old boy?

last time we spoke you were just about to buy a M******s E ***** E****e - can't bring myself to type it!

What's the latest?

I sold the beautiful blue disco to an ex RAF officer who volunteers as a mountain rescue guy in wales - he is very happy with it.

went to a good home - he was happy to pay me 3k for it as it was so lovely.
