I joined TRF in Dec 06 with a DateJust, then added a GMT II, THEN the damn vintage Tudor bug hit.

I've learned much, made many friends from around the world, met some great blokes at the London GTG [hope to meet more at the KY GTG], helped spread my addiction to others [misery loves company], and spent WAY more $$$ than I ever thought!
So before the big 7000 I wanted to say, here's to my friends at TRF! Thanks!

David, we were just getting started. That's how I look sober.
Yes, Joe, I will marry you. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Thanks everybody!

Looks like a bit of jet lag to me!

Congrats Dan. Always enjoy your posts.

By the way, Joe's batting average on the marriage thing is not so great. So be careful.
