If anyone else had posted that I'd have chuckled, but I can almost belive it's true of you CD.
We should swap nicknames here. I genuinely do hold the worldwide patent for vertical launch swing wing air vehicles. The irony is that, as a kid, I always wanted to be brains from Thunderbirds

Ably aided by four colleagues I managed to escape from "The Escape Rooms" in Pompey last night in under the allotted one hour time limit.

I reckon we have some better claims than that though.....
I was there too. As a 7 year old I had photos taken with both Sophia Loren and Richard Burton as they walked along the main pathway to the Cathedral. I say taken with them - I photobombed them and my Dad took a quick instamatic.
For some reason I thought it was Salisbury Cathedral though. Must try to find the photies.
