      How long before someone trots out some stuff about being "flushed with success"?

       

      Hang on … that was thought #1. Thought #2 is that I'm in no rush to find out - so I don't think I'll bother asking.

  6. Time to order the Silhouette Portrait :)

      Interesting collection of bits! Already racking my single brain cell to work out an engineering combination for production of said esoteric brickwork!

      Brunel had an easier task...just gave the local brickworks a sketch and an order for a couple of hundred bricks.
