Well done.

Hadn't noticed Grahams post above, thought it was blank. But he attempted the 'last' one, not quite right, probably a typo

Post by: Graham_and_Karen on October 01, 2009, 09:15:26 PM

Yes - a typo. At work I meticulously check all emails for errors but at home it's different. Mind you, I see I posted before 9pm so I can't blame it on the wine  

BTW - I see no-one's answered one of mine:

nicer than it sounds; most of us will have had it while in Plakias. This year mine was in Sophia - 'Fat Bloke Milk' (2 words)
