but great 'clavers.

heh... agreed. Do you recall the fishing & camping experience a few years
back? Different venue, but same sort of results. We all brought standard
single or 2 berth tents while Dave had brought his large 8 or 10 berth
family tent and we were all socialising in there one evening. We had a
mosquito coil burning INSIDE and with the doors/flaps closed, drinking beer,
barbeque on the go outside, billions of biting midges, drinking beer and
funny smelling tobacco wafting around with the anti mosquito smoke (did I
mention drinking beer?) Well... we didn't manage to kill ourselves but I
reckon a few of the ol' brain cells may have gone! ;o)

Yes Andy I remember it well. What a fabulous " conference" tent Dave
brought! Our American friends don't rough it as we did - and I envy
them their cabin comforts. Our little one man tents would have been far
less sociable - Dave's 6 berth tent /made/.the week end.

Spare ribs black and burnt never tasted better.
