March forth!

[Redundant]

I do so post!  Any minute now, when inspiration strikes, as opposed to perspiration which strikes all too often.   On an other issue, I thought I had some strange dates and venues in my time, but taking a guillemot to the vets... did it end badly?  Was it [the guillemot] exhausted before you met it on the beach or after?  That's a great word to type [guillemot], makes you pause half way to see how the spelling is going.

[Vulture]

Welcome, Redundant.

I think I might change my name to Retired - it has more of a ring than 'Vulture' (and goes better with the photo of Terry!)

Plus, I'm less likely to take you to the vets...

Thanks Vulture [Retired], I'd stick with Vulture which you can always claim was meant to be Culture but the "V" and the "C" were too close on the keyboard.   While I was bracketing the "Retired" a thought popped into my head [it happens a lot], wasn't there a cartoon strip character with something like [BH Calcutta - Retired] at the end of his name?

Terry is cool, used to listen to him on Radio 2 in the mornings, not so cool is Barry Manilow, when my Grandson was younger I used to search "Barry Manilow" in Go*gle Images, you should try it, used to scare the bejesus out of the poor lad, "wall to wall odd" [With apologies in advance for all/any? Barry Manilow fans of course].

[Bilthehut]

Welcome from me as well, Redundant, or should we just call you Red (or possibly Ant) for short. 

Don't be stingy with the posts to this Forum.

Thanks Bilthehut.   "Red" is good, as is "Ant" but you missed "Und" if one was to be "Ped" or "Ant" or even "Ic" [That was a whole lot funnier in my head].   Bob would work too, it's not my name, but could be descriptive of my swimming technique.  Red und Ant could even be the name of a German Blues Duo... or even worse, the German equivalent of Ant and Dec.

"BH Calcutta retired" was a bloodhound from The Perishers. Superb name.

Great name, without prejudice to "voices in my head" I can almost hear a slight pause between BH Calcutta and retired, "BH Calcutta...Retired" in one of those great accents the Beeb used to have.
