When you have a 6'5", rugby player (ageing, admittedly), 'finalising arrangements', should we be getting paramedics on standby? {sm2}

No, I met the buyer's demand, I didn't ask Clive to make an offer he couldn't refuse . . . {eek3}

Louis, trust that you will be part of the American Expeditionary Force heading for these shores next year? Trooper

It is the New York Symposium traveling to London . . . you bet I'll be there!:wink2:

Would one of you gentlemen at the show check with Clive and get me an update on the status of the Heco transaction? I'm in withdrawal here . . . {sm2}{sm3}{sm4}

We were discussing delivery methods across the Atlantic and came to the conclusion that filling the item with av-gas and igniting it, off Plymouth Hoe, in a Westerly direction, was probable the cheapest method of getting it to you.

Very funny Simon:rolleyes2: . . . Between you and Kevin with the Monty Python routine, the British sense of humor will be getting a bad name!^&grin

I believe that between us, we can lower international expectations to a sub terrainian level.

Here's a little excerpt from the novel I wrote, where your character is describing the effect of Kevin's character's sense of humor - it is taken, almost verbatim, from an exchange between you two on the subject of potentially flying to New York together for the NY Symposium a couple of years ago:

Major Elliott was, if possible, even taller than Flight Officer Gande, and just as gregarious and good natured. At a little over 5’9, I stared directly at his chin. When I entered the Mess, he was regaling the barman with an excellent impression of his favorite radio comedy. For such a big hulking fellow, he had a surprisingly lilting, melodious voice.

Flying Officer Simon Clarke, seated at the far end of the bar, rolled his eyes, gave a tired smile and said, “he’s quite good for the first few minutes, but imagine being trapped in a cockpit with this routine for seven hours at a stretch.”

“I feel your pain, brother. Barkeep, painkillers all around.”

“Cheers, mate!”

“Simon just doesn’t appreciate good humor.”

“If I come across any, I’ll let you both know.”
