Where's Jimbo?
Anyone seen or heard anything of Jimbo recently?

He seems to be on the missing list . . .

Hope not, last time I looked the Tohatsu was parked at my work guarded by a man with a machine gun and a big dog, (the dog doesn't need a machine gun)

He was 3/4 of the way up one of those Volvo 70 open sailing thingies peeps use to spend 9 months in the freezing cold sailing around the world Strange he didn't answer his phone when I rang him

Astro Nav, how quaint, some glass lenses, a couple of mirrors and a clock and you can work out were in the world you are. Or you could switch the GPS on of course.

Still alive, working hard - several sharks in the industry that have dodgy trading practices decided to go down the tube and try and take me with them (yes, I was warned against working with them, bud did I bloody listen?!?) mean that I work every hour god sends at present!

JK didn't upset me, far from it, I was in danger of upsetting him . Back now
