Luckily when I was on my cleaning duties around the house last night I passed to him his huge CD case so he could put it in the car where it belongs, so he has been listening to Phill Collins, Duran Duran and some other CD's.

I'm too good to him.

Well he could get some exercise on his bike, he keeps on going on about the rambles he used to go on with his mates, time to start again me thinks.

My Dad spent 3 hours Sunday coming home to Eltham from Romford and that took him 3 hours throughthe black wall Tunnell. It's just a nightmare. I'm glad sometimes I don't drive into work but it's nice on the odd occasion.
