Barrie - that is a name worth dropping! Beats all the rest.
A true hero in the family. Next to a hero's true hero.

I have to admit to a tinge of jealousy aimed at my son, he used to do a bit of part time door work/security at the Queens Hotel in Leeds and had the honour of ensuring a well know Yorkshireman was given some "Space"

I share my birthday with Sir Cliff and Sir Roger. No bragging rights there.
Now I'm off for a glass of Rioja.

I don't think this is a lone cracker or organised crime. More likely to be national intelligence of some sort, and to be honest the fingers would point at China, the USA or Israel. All three would find it useful to be able to sabotage infrastructure without doing permanent harm, and the fact that Iran's nuclear plant caught it would be very useful to Israel.

Let's not stray into politics again guys. I was guilty last time I admit, but I think it is good to keep this politics (and religion) free.

I have shared a lift with Georgie Fame and Bill Wyman.
Had dinner with Barry Took.
Went to school with Gary Numan. Shaken hands with a couple of astronauts.
My brother went to school with Brian May. He didn't have all that hair then though - he would have been expelled if he had.
But enough not very classy name dropping.
Any plans for outings this week?
