Mmm?  I'll pay more attention in future - oops, better not, I'd hate to get a 'dirty old man' reputation.

I'm a Leo, mneme - a 'leader of men', but there are more ways to lead than from the front.

TAPS
I recommend it, TAPS.  It is hard to believe how exhilarating it is.  As I said in an earlier blog about being scared of water, 'what a waste of 69 years.'

"As an aside, I’ve noticed in the past that when a man and a woman go into the swimming pool, the man draws a sharp breath when the water rises to a certain part of his anatomy, but the woman simply plunges in." - not true.. trust me.  - Another good read, thank you. I   really enjoy your self-deprecating style.. not a Libra are you? Just curious...

You make me want to go swimming.  I haven't been for a while.

Thank you FF.  After I told Ell of your comment, she went all modest - something I never, ever, expected to see.

Ya gotta love that Ell! She knows all, sees all... I aspire to achieve her abilities... Happy

A fun read as usual, Mr. McNab.

Oddly enough Whacky, that is exactly what Ell said.  But when she suggested it all I got was a shake of the head.  There were no smiles, roses or Woofs - thank you Whacky.

Pat

Duh!  When I read your reply it dawned on me that I could have used the sauna to dry off - what a numpty I am.   There are hair driers, Pat, but to use them to dry myself off would have taken some odd positions and may have landed me in hot water.

I take it that Adam's apple was a slip of the Lord's scalpel?

Now, John.... women aren't perfect....
It's just that after the Lord made Adam - the test model - He made a few improvements on the finished design. Too bad your locker room didn't have a dryer handy. Love the image of bobbing up from the bottom and laughing... :)
