I thought the trick was to use the word 'invalid' as your password, then if you entered it incorrectly you got an instant reminder of what your password was?

'Password' is better, as it always asks you to enter Password.

Anyway I'm in very good health.

Being without shoes keeps you on your toes, Gerard.

Fancy a computer referring to you as an invalid just because you mis-typed your password.

Such a shame that EricD has joined us here, he knows the truth about too many aspects of my life that I shall have to moderate my claims in future, although we did cycle to the Nine Hour Race and back. Well at least once.

Classic barbecue this year Delta? I have already lined up a few choice prizes for a draw.

The whispering icon has finished his Sunday slot but still continues with Bob Harris country on Thursday night, it's been a long time since the Old Grey Whistle Test where he used to introduce little known artists whilst smoking and knocking back brandy off camera!

Very wise Robert I like it. If you allow me i'll keep it along with another proverb a nice english lady taught me. It says something like: You can always walk against the stream but never make weewee against the wind. Does this make sense even with my poor English?

I remember Jerry Lee Lewis doing both, while actually on camera and belting out his latest release 'Chantilly Lace' on the O.G.W.T.

Politely put Gerard, and makes perfect sense. Like;

Don't wee down my back and tell me it's raining

Never much of a fan of Bob 'arrish, but I once caught Emmy Lou Harris (no relation) on the Whistle Test, and instantly fell in love with her music, and still collect anything I can today.

So he was not all bad, I suppose. As to Brain Matthews, My Old Mates, not my scene.

What has any of this to do with Historic motor sport?

Walking around circuits without shoes is very uncomfortable, and the missing shoes were fairly historic, and well used to supporting this photographer of historic motor sport.

Will that do?
