I'll go along with that. Thank you so very much for coming and making it a very special day for me. Much drinking of the drink and talking of the toot. And I believe some singing of the karoake, although I missed that. Many thanks to Neil for chumming it up with the barlord, who let me have my photo taken behind the pumps and happy to have introduced so many of you to the wonders of the Fruli.
Again so many thanks and hope to see you all soon and to those who came a long long way and you know who you are a very special special thank you.

Thanks to all for such a great day yesterday...well done Mr R, you deserved all the adulation and toot talking!

As promised, a hurried upload of the pics I took yesterday. I will tidy them up at some point and put them on the various sites and here on the forum, but for now, here's the basics...woo!

Did you indulge in your now traditional ritual of sitting forlornly in the caf� awaiting service until such time as you get bored/angry and leave?

No, we drove straight back to Brighton then went down to The Melrose for a huge Fish 'n' Chip blow out.
Damn good to see you and Loz yesterday, Tim.

Damn good

Great pics hokus, almost like I was there Smile

Looks like you all had to much Fruli. Bit too much like an alco-milkshake for my tastes Razz

And many many thanks to Hugh for everything, especially the card that everyone signed, going up on the wall in a nice frame, that one. Thank you so much

I just asked Kell and she said Hugh did it. Its gorgeous!

Me and Kell obviously looking more alike then usual as the rather fabulous and dashing Mr Deveraux thought she was me!

I'm glad you liked my doodle just wish it could have been something on a much grander scale.

We should suggest they make the exhibition a permanent collection and rename that part of the Museum the Rankin room.
