    I have everything crossed for you pyrocanthus re the job.

    A cousin did our family tree a few years back apparently we are related to the Queen & Darth Vader.

    I remain dubious

I am now waiting to hear from the employer as to whether I am to have an interview or not.
    Good luck! Hope you get the interview.

    I'm related to the Queen. She is the niece of the wife of the 3rd cousin twice removed of the husband of the wife of the great grandson of the wife of my first cousin five times removed. And that is absolutely true. So, pretty close I'd say! Also, it must mean we are related, Splashy!

    I've just received my latest Pie 'n' Mash & Prefabs book sales totals. Between 1 Jan and 30 June this year, it sold 976 paperbacks and 3737 ebooks, making a grand total since publication on 5 March 2015 of 11215 paperbacks and 6449 ebooks - 17,664 copies altogether.

    I have to say I think I'm quite pleased with that!

    congrats mate.. to create something that others enjoy ..

    To be boring re ancestry, our family tree links us to the Earl of Snowdon the photographer who married Prissiness Margaret, but I think its way cooler to say my best mate was the best mate of Craig David at school.

    Its 6 am on the 9.11.2016 ... looks like Trump is the new USA president.

    He was so busy calling Clinton names, have they any real idea what he will do in power?

    Putin must be having a party, his new best mate is n power.

    On lighter news I cant find my left slipper
