All quiet on the blog front...

Hey all - hmm its been a while since I wrote on the blog - mind you I have noticed there is not much action happening! Michael I am with you in wanting to buy a ticket on the new A380! I read someone paid $180,000 for the honour! Anyone else got a spare $180k lying about? Surely a few of your stamps are worth that much Michael? :-)

Can't say I know too much about Edward IV, but I have been by chance been reading about his successor, his son Edward V - one of the "Princes in the tower" - hmm that Richard III doesn't sound like a nice character at all! Mind you if you have read "The Daughter of Time" by Josephine Tey, she has some interesting theories which suggest Richard III had nothing to do with Edward's death - OK I think I am rambling here!

Am also currently reading a book "Elizabeth - the Struggle for the Throne" by David Starkey - an interesting read about the Elizabeth I - Its rather obvious I find English Royal history interesting! Speaking of which, Mr Dodd, I recall you had a book about Lady Jane Grey which I might be rather interested in perusing :-)

With the snow season all but over here, its time to look forward to some snowboarding in the USA this year - Planning on a few weeks in Colorado again around X'mas - have never experienced a "White Christmas" before so looking forward to that! Oh yes, that reminds me I should put my leave in for that. So if you are reading George, my annual leave application is coming your way :-)

Hope everyone is well and enjoying themselves - are there plans for another drinks session? Michael, how are the Frequent Flyer miles coming along? Everytime I read this blog you are in another country!

regards,
