Nice one, Aristo! Tut-tut. Thanks, geting.

Well deserved, aristo. Thanks, geting.

Well done, Aristo! Appreciated the votes from SS, Jono, and Buddy - also the likes fromTyke and Paul.
Thanks, Geting, for the challenge and the clips.

Well done, aristo! As mentioned above, I considered it a clear winner and conceded early.
Thanks to geting for challenge and hosting, grateful to paul for vote and jono for mention.

I mentioned that we’d be going to Stockholm in April but the trip is now booked for June. Can’t wait. A wonderful city.

A stiff one is known as a drink of hard liquor in the UK, so yes.

Thankfully I haven't got into the habit. Stockholm in June is indeed beautiful. Welcome
