No Sun noooo, don't do it. Its not worth it. Sun you can do better. Think 2x before you leap.
What is it with you Old Farts?

First the other week an obscure reference to Rugby Songs from the late '60's now a reference which only grey-haired OK white-haired old Brits who used to listen to the Light Programme and 2-way Family Favourites will notice ("Hello from Baden-Baden.").

From the early '60's. I tried to find this on Napster dozens of times but couldn't. Nor could I find "Down Came The Rain" from Mr. Murray.

Cheers
