Re: Brochure shots

I'd do the Concerto advert but there aren't enough butterflies around this time of year! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MGzNE48AVc There's a UK shortage of butterflies in general, I think. But there's nothing stopping you getting into CGI. If it's good enough for China's Olympic firework display,...

I had someone make me a belt out of old wrist watches.

A complete waist of time, really.

Re: Body repairs.

I can PM you some details of a couple of companies I've used in the West Midlands (actually about 15 miles wets of Birmingham) but I think this is way too far out for you.

Re: Transmission Cooler

I can recommend a friend of mine for all your house repairs. He specialises in plumbing and double glazing. So if on...

I had a pet mouse called Elvis.

I found him dead one morning. He was caught in a trap.

I tried mixing Mexican alcohol with 20th century literature, but all I got was Tequila Mocking Bird.
