If he does (and he may well) the Queen's speech will be rewritten and I wouldn't place any bets on it being substantially the same as today's.

I was told at first that I might need a bypass operation but I was fortunate in having a very experienced surgeon who managed to clear the worst blockage with angioplasty. It took two hours and I'm now the proud owner of three stents!

That's kind of you. I'll look forward to that! ;-)
MvdV> Is that trip to the continent on the occasion of your 80th birthday still on?
It's still on although my daughters are keeping it under review. They are pacing me to see how I cope!!! (Comes to something when one's offspring take over one's life - but I'm not complaining because they're looking after me well!) I'm not doing any organ playing until the beginning of November but I think I can gauge my progress by the boredom that is beginning to set in!
