Alas I fear Mr Varley is just being modest, he IS a big star, its just the movies that got smaller.

You're going to be caught in the Holy Hour, that time between late pubs closing and early pubs opening. But the airport is a law unto itself.

I hope you have good fishing and return the pike, not like our European friends who keep them and eat them. Jolly unsporting. Good luck on Lake Garadice.

A law unto itself? A traveller would have hoped the writ of some sort of CAA, heathen or otherwise would run there. I suppose for the observer independence might sound more fun but the flyer might not consider that end as highly as some more formal arrangement of air traffic control.

I know Ballinamore is on a canal but we'll never get GD2 up that far. May I suggest we berth in Limerick Docks and Rusty puts his wee van on an old Guinness barge and sails (drifts) down the broad, majestic Shannon. He can be stulchened aboard and we can set sail for Spurn Head, pronto.

Norfolk Broads; is that a palindrome? or perhaps an anagram or even a caricature? GCSE English was not lost on you.

If you are going to put up GD for hire then will we offer accommodation too? Had you used the less lubberly term for such a venture we could have advertised charter parties. We better get a Hamworthy man out to check over the Trident - wouldn't want the drinkers of Guinness or Bothiebathjuice to get the slightest tincture of alimentary-brown with their daily rations.

(Be careful with difficult words. If our Western cousins hear we have sighted a palindrome they will probably want to shoot it down).
