We saw a Japanese trawler long-lining for tuna on Suspect St (street on which my office is located - it's actually called Sussex St but our work email server doesn't like the last three letters of our street name, and rejects it on every possible occasion) this morning, and during the lunchtime downpour there were waterskiers a bit further down the road. At least that is what they looked like, the visibility was not the best at the time." All in good humour but on a serious note, trust that Bingley and Maverick are both safe and sound .

But hey, my li'l jalopy's the roadster, just off frame left on that pic, more visible in one of the others. I hear from colleagues today that part of the bridge in one of the pics is actually washed away or damaged quite seriously. That's what you get with this jerry-built rubbish - thrown up in the middle ages then never repaired...

Yeah, and the French aren't much better. Bring in a top Italian firm to put a good viaduct up in Arles in AD100 and look, nearly 2000 years later it's just junk. Some people just can't keep their eye on the ball for more than five minutes, can they? The idiot also known as Capfka ...

Well, I should be careful what of I whine. I meant aquaduct, actually. Water, water, everywhere did cause the stones to shrink. Bloody cheap outfit, the Roman army. Couldn't even go good solid granite. Oh hang on, yes they could.
