It's worth mentioning at this point that the damage is physical and not, as
Great Uncle
Paul is likely to allege as masquerading under the alternative name of gout.

Peter, you should be aware that when the specialist saw me today and helped me
retrieve
the few coins that fell out of my trousers pocket for my return bus fare (it
was pension
payment day yesterday) he suggested I ought to have my pockets lengthened. I
note that
Leon Guyot is attending the Triumph Memorial unveiling in an *official*
capacity on behalf
of TSSC, so perhaps it could be his shout at The Phantom Coach instead of ours?
Having
seemingly invested 40,000 quid in his Vitesse and turned up his nose at a
Corniche, he of
all people could afford the round. Then, once equipped with our filled pint
mugs, we can
stand at the window and gaze out across the cemetry and the adjoining
crematorium. At that
point, you can then tell me in all confidence where you used to conceal certain
receipts
in said bone orchard that were too volatile to include in your expenses claims.
Cheers
John
