A few more years still to go yet... Pat my wife and daughter did turn up at work for lunch. I thought they were going to bring a special 3 coarse meal... yum... yum.. according to my vivid imagination that is well it turned out to be a sandwich, a bun, and a cup of coffee bought from the downstairs cafe they say its the thought that counts, well I am not so sure about that even the girls downstairs did say were going to buy a cake but after New Year are all broke ah well so be it... I am thinking of writing a book called "The Forgotten Projectionist"2009

Happy Birthday Graham.
How very apt that the "better half" always says,
"It's the thought that counts".
Do we think that would work if the "shoe was on the other foot?"
I don't think so!!
You know what to do now Graham? When a certain family members' birthday comes around - purchase a Super 8mm feature and say - "Well it's the thought that counts!" (Make sure you are wearing body armour at that particular moment)
Have a good one Graham....
PS - Happy New Year, Barry - it will get better, I'm sure.

All the best to you Barry, my friend, my best wishes for a great 2009 for you as well, from your (hopefully) "adopted" family of Osgoods here in America!
... and I hope that you had a Happy Birthday Graham! My birthday is the 7th of this month! Time to pour me some Baileys Irish Cream ... aaah!
My hope is that I'll be published for the first time this year, that is my goal!
