I do not, though.
Never had any kind of believe in personal Whatever.
Walkman, discman, mobile phone, etc etc.
Had them all, but.

What about having a pint somewhere?
I know, it’s a bit face to face, but ah well.

BTW, like your website – discovered it a while ago.
And I still treasure your Dead End Street crossword.
Yes, that’s how my mind works – quality, not just quantity.

Oh, and btw Jane, nice pictures … :)

Follow me on Twitter @BoatmanCryptics, if you don’t regard Twitter as the province of numskulls and idlers (or at least have the self-control to read only the tweets of interesting numskulls and idlers) and I may occasionally give hints that serious Boatman spotters may be able to use to track me down in public.

My hubby, looking at your pics, insisted it was Compo – I told him not to be silly! There you go. Maybe someone can enlighten us.

But I never quite picked up Araucaria’s connection with the programme.

Araucaria looks so young! I don’t get the significance of the wee folk sitting on the edge of the cake?

Nice pictures.

In case I could have managed to get a ticket, the festive occasion would also have reminded me of how knot a tie [or is it the other way around?] …..
When I was 20, no problem, but now I’m almost 60, no idea ….

That said, I cóuld have come to The Eagle spontaneously, but I didn’t.

And, Boatman, I really would have liked to meet you.
Maybe next time? Somewhere, somehow.

The +1 is Mrs B, who was watching our neighbour using his ‘phone to solve a Guardian archive puzzle in his head.

Anyway, very nice to see all these photos. It really was a great day, wasn’t it? I lost track of the number of times people mentioned joy and inspiration. Warm feelings all round.
