What a great place this is!  


There’s a big old barrel of whatever you fancy over in the yorkshireman’s corner
- the unsuccessful entrants can drown our sorrows and talk about grand times,
and the successful galoots - that’ll be the ones with big grins - can toast the
rest, and each other, and - heck let’s just have a wee dram (small whisky,
Paddy) or whatever you fancy and salute Jim Thompson and all the past and
present galoots.  I feel blessed to have mementos from a few galoots scattered
around the workshop.

Just say (tm)
It’s stuff like this that made the Porch the finest place on the internet - and
keeps it that way.
