Hi David,
I feel wracked by guilt. I don't feel worthy as I did not actually take the
picture myself rather I was sent it as a comedy email coincidentally at the
same time that you started the competition. I guess I got carried away, but
thankfully I feel that you have given me a way out.
There is only one place where I feel any contribution should go at the
current time. Please make a donation on behalf of all of us to the DEC
Tsunami Earthquake Appeal.
The Disasters Emergency Committee - www.dec.org.uk - is an umbrella group of
UK aid organisations - including ActionAid, British Red Cross, Oxfam -
working to provide clean water, food and shelter to thousands. To call from
the UK dial 0870 60 60 900.
Nuff said,
Ben

Well remembered Chris. Thanks for refereeing, and for blowing my gift idea
of a year's subscription to the UKTC.
Congratulations Ben. I did say that I would award a prize didn't I? As
Christmas is not only an oxymoron, but traditionally a time for spending
considerable sums of money we don't have, on gifts that aren't needed, for
people who don't like them anyway, I thought it might be an idea to break
with the tradition and donate something on your behalf to a worthy
(tree-related?) cause: equivalent to say, a bottle of Albanian Champagne ;-)
What do you reckon? A hangover worthy of a trepanning, temporary loss of
sight, and a mouth like the bottom of a budgie's cage? Or a sense of
wellbeing? Not that I'm trying to direct you in any way.
Trusting everyone had a Merry Christmas, and all the best for the New Year.
Cheers
