At last!!!Cheers!
You're not at all computer illiterate for a start. I was until just a couple of years ago but once you start using message boards the skills develop without you even realising!!!
I can't stay long now as I have many neglected jobs to attend to but I had to leave you a message here!

You may find this handy:

And here's Polly's page - she likes to post on h2g2 and I'm sure she'd like to chat to you:

Don't know if you've already found it but mine's here:

That's quite a restrained use of smileys for you MJ!

Oh, how disappointing - I thought I had a reply from Mr-P!

Sorry you're out of luck, you'll have to put up with me. Btw I thought you said some time ago that you'd better go as you've got so much to do.

Hi MJ

Please forgive me if I go rambling on a bit or if you find my 'writing style' somewhat eccentric; I spent almost all my working life composing, re-drafting, correcting etc formal correspondence, reports, minutes and the like, destined for anything (anybody?) from members of the public, through senior Industry reps, to Ministers. Consequently to say that my social letter-writing is eccentric would be a massive understatement (oxymoron there, I think). Already You will be well aware why I chose to call myself 'Mr Pedantic,' but 'Bxxxx' is better for these discussions, don't you think? ('B' will, of course, be fine - - or, for that matter, anything you choose).

Thank you for your kind words re my computer illiteracy. On reflection, I must admit that I'm not as bad as I would have expected to be before we acquired this wonderful machine. One of my (few) talents is that of remembering things once they have 'stuck.' It just takes a long time to get it in there in the first place. It helps that I'm a bit of a technophile. Herbert, strictly speaking, belongs to Mrs P but, whenever he decides to have a hissy-fit, it's me what 'as to sort 'im aht. Cockney origins breaking through again

I've tried the links you sent but I end up on non-existent pages (or so the 'system' tells me). I think it's probably because I'm using Brunel. It doesn't matter, though, because I can 'find' you (and Polly) via this 'conversation link'

Must dash off for a while Need some lunch before 'Her nextdoor' comes round for a cuppa

See you later



Bxxxx
