But ask me no more than that pls because my history is somewhat lacking when it comes to our monarchy times :) My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I see you've been around a bit....as a member that is, so it's nice to see you and hear what you have to say in the forum. I suspect you have been following some of the threads, in which case you will know that despite the odd hiccup, we are all good friends and have great fun! On top of that we have some really great pics to look at. The name 'Woods' is in my family, where are you from? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

MG, thank you for that......at least somebody still loves me!! Or do you mean that you would like to see me encased in concrete, with my mouth firmly shut?

That's why Ron is legendary! Andy, I didn't 'set up' the term legendary, it really was the quote after THIRD DAY - the American Rock Musicians did the C. S. Lewis Tour with me here in Oxford, UK. See www.cslewistours.com . Their travelling Pastor Nigel James first used it in blog referring to the tour and I chose thereafter to use it by way of the following link http://nigeljames.typepad.co.uk/nigels_notes/2007/05/a_truly_memorab.html as a rather nice compliment! Why do I feel I want to say na, na, nana, na YAndy?.....mate!! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
