Don't know where you get that idea, Nigel, the current system works well, he buys us all a drink. Looking forward to it! Terry.

Very many Happy Returns, you old git! Nearly old enought to join the big boys club. Terry.

That's o/k Dave, Rob can have it. Don't need one till next winter anyway. Terry.

I'll take the other, Dave, if it's still going. Terry.

Can people please show how many people are on each boat so I have numbers. Thank you. Terry.

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAN Try something new for this one as you're getting older and more responsible, stay sober. Only joking! Terry.

Craig, why do you always have to be difficult? Don't like my steak, being kept waiting. God alive! 2nd night is the Moorings night, so 1st night is the free one or alternative so I'll put you down for the Moorings and try for a different suggestion for the first night. Is that all right you awkward sod? Terry.

Rob, the fish and chips option was not intended to be bookable so that would come under the 'evening free' option, then I only book for those who require it. I don't think there is anything else that doesn't require a hike up to the town but if anyone has an alternative suggestion for the first night, spark up. Terry.

O/k chaps, it's that time again, who wants to eat where in Alderney. For the first night, I have spoken to a few people and none of those seem to want to eat at the Marais Hall on the first night. The concensus seems to be fish and chips or The Moorings by the Harbour. Let me know what you fancy and we can either leave that open or I can book places at The Moorings. Perhaps an alternative suggestion might be in order as we usually go to the Moorings on the second night. If everybody is happy, I will book our gala dinner for the Harbour Lights, as usual. So, to summarise: 11th May free or The Moorings 12th May The Moorings 13th May Harbour Lights. Make a list and put your preference for the first night. Presumably Charlie and Co. will be having an 'Alfresco' meal one of the evenings. Terry.

I can! Terry.

Just noticed that we have a new category for number of entries, Tarpon Tamer. Only noticed because I caught it out of the corner of my eye and thought it said something else. I thought to myself, "peculiar". Terry.

Don't you like your Warrior, Mike? An awful lot of folks think they are great and are very happy with them. Not being sucked into green eye syndrome by those buying bigger toys? It's just that time of year. Terry.

I got the four I fitted to the stern of Stingray from ebay, a reputable make but a bit cheaper. Make sure you choose the correct ones, vertical or angled. Terry.

Interesting. Perhaps we need to be more adventurous. Terry.

You must have all led very sheltered lives. Very good! Terry.

No, no problems like that. Should have bought a Warrior, I never have any problems with my bog, just throw everything over the side. Terry.

A Very Happy Birthday to you Paul. Day indoors with a bottle or two? Terry.

All the very best for today, Tom, hope you have a good 'un. Terry.

I'll bet if you 'phone the Crimestoppers number you'll get as much action as now. Probably the answer will be to always phone the Anti Terrorist number and mention guns. Terry.

Facebook sent me a reminder that it is your birthday on the 3rd. Strange, just checked your page and it shows 1st. Confusing! Terry.

Very many Happy Returns, Martin, although I'm a little confused. Another site is telling me that your birthday is on the 3rd. I'm just covering bases. Have a good one. Terry.
