Hi Sir Harry

It's a dead ball!

[Harry-Wragg]

Hi Dave - good to see you're about - in Scotland a dead ball is a golfing term meaning the exact opposite uf unplayable - I didn't think of the cricket term - must go to England more often - maybe!!

vegasmad please pardon the intrusion

Sir Harry

It's your thread! You are so used to butting in on other peoples threads.

I've been in mourning since being beaten by the Tumbleweeds. Looks like we will be meeting again next season.

[Harry-Wragg]

I see you're back to being a big bully again - be good - HW

Hi Krypton, I thought 22d. might be Ormolu, although I am still a few adrift.
