Thanks mattrom and anyone who voted. The alcohol abuse reference wasn't supposed to be topical, but is everyone supping a little more than is good for them nowadays ? I am for one. Going to have to buy some jeans with a bigger waist soon !
The clip played fine. Unusual !

Well done, Malcolm. Thanks for officiating, Mattrom.

Thanks for the mention, Chrise, appreciated.
Welcome Faiton. I can assure you that your vote, and the vote from Paul, are most welcome too. Many thanks.

Well done Malcolm, and thanks to everyone for welcoming me.

Congrats Malcolm, and yes it resonated with me, I’m definitely drinking more, and to be honest that’s off a fairly high base...!

I think this might be part of the new normal (I’m oldish) enjoy the moment, get sozzled, listen to your favourite tunes, hasilly zoom parties, don’t worry about the future.

Nice challenge Mattrom, the clip tickled me, thanks!
