I can go to bed now.

By the way well done on the new arrival.

Now you need to face the wife and explain what you have done.

Looking forward to the pix and congrats on the watch.

Alex, I must admit that was one of the best unveilings I have seen on TRF to date! Well done! Those of us who have taken cinema classes (great build up to a grand ending) would be proud! Enjoy your Daytona in good health and nevermind the killjoy folks! Wow! Encore!

Thanks Paul, appeciate it, although I read your thread on yours and it did play on my mind a little, but everyone's different I guess
