I'm not a contractor, never have been, never will be, just a humble LSP, but I do know this.
Roddy walked into our South Ken office in '97, in tears, positively weeping, all 6.4 of him. Why? Because Lady Di had died and he'd just visited her multi-candlelit shrine. "Why are you crying, Roddy?" asked the Guv'nor. "Because she... she... died!"
Our boss paused, "But Roddy, you're a fkn arms dealer." And he was; tragedy meet mourner and, to be fair, what a neat guy. He sold missiles and drove a Porsche through West London while threatening to invite me to the Special Forces Club.
Drive Safe.
Your Old Pal,
LSP

I like the monkey, but that's just me. Et maintenant a vous
A good friend, Dirty Al, was entitled to wear an Osprey emblem.
Mrs. & I were between flights and sitting in Heathrow on our way to Glasgow when the entire aeropuerto shut down for a few minutes in memorial to Lady Di. Then we saw a mound of flowers in one of the public spaces in Glasgow that was gigantic. They took her passing VERY seriously in the U.K.
There is nothing wrong with the SF club. 8 Herbert Crescent in Knightsbridge, London. There is a dress code.
Of course, LL. Knightsbridge forever.
Speaking of which, just gave the kid my #2 blazer, "Look, it's Old Skool, but therein lies this coat's greatness."
Blue's a member, forever.
WSF, no mean thing.
It was a HUGE deal, Wild.
Wish you and Mrs g\had stopped by, we'd have shown you a good time.
Thanks much for the belated invite, Parson. Mrs. was a travel agent back when they had major perks and has been dang near everyplace worth going to, but says London was her favorite place out of all of that. I'm informed the town may have changed since then. But yeah, had we known who you were back then, we'd have made time going or coming home.
Still a great, great city Wild. At least it was in '17 when I last visited. Vastly tempted to fly over Oct/Nov if I can get some time off.
Will there be an RV with other bloggers/friends? Maybe, it'd be fun.
