Almost br...Mate! :) I only just noticed this post.<br /><br />Almost brought a tear to the eye. Although that could be because I'm on my second glass of wine - I feel justified drinking wine when writing a new post on my own blog, as I'm sure Hemingway would have a wine if he was blogging. :)<br /><br />Tank Attack was awesome. Also, my old electric guitar is still going strong(ish) and sitting here right beside me as I write.<br /><br />Looking foward to catching up with you for some chess and a beverage before too long. <br /><br />Cheers!Nigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16538384545674231187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-54777620102518024722012-10-18T13:51:00.529+09:002012-10-18T13:51:00.529+09:00Agree on all counts, Ray, and I'm sure there w...Agree on all counts, Ray, and I'm sure there will be Paul!<br />Prufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-87603013111326705412012-10-18T02:44:25.011+09:002012-10-18T02:44:25.011+09:00Hi Aaron, you're right about that vote.

I don't use Facebook myself, but my wife does because it helps her keep in touch with old friends who still live in England, as well as various other folks. I'll do the same if I ever move away from Glasgow again. Hope the chess improves, though!<br /><br />Cheers<br />PaulCalibanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137774792085672600noreply@blogger.com
