drinking, unsociably. Easily do a bottle of port on a school night and regularly do. Occasionally drink socially but always ends up a bender so try to avoid the trauma.

Keeping the wife happy i.e whatever she wants. Quite like not having to think so that works out OK.

Used to be a professionally hydroponicist but got caught. Really miss building my own rigs etc. Might go back to it and grow chillies or something. I do like curry.

Would like to get back into physical training but I'm all or nothing and 60 hours a week on my business doesn't allow a full training schedule so sod it.

It's not all it's cracked up to be Tony. I'm a lot happier fencing and doing tree work full time.

I do miss the meticulousness of it and build and design process though but nothing else.

Work mainly as an artist, living in Eindhoven now, play a Telecaster and Washburn semi acoustic, and a 75 Ibanez 12 string Concord, with Fender gear, sing to myself and whoever else will listen, enjoy cooking. See my paintings on FB, easier.

I wish I had found time to meet up with you when I was in SA a couple of years back.....next time, eh?

Mrs on horse. Mollie (GSD) and me on foot patrol, there's nothing like a 5 mile hack/pack walk and sausages afterwards.

Hi Tony, I'm based in The Netherlands now, and pop over to the UK about every 3 months. Depending on where you are I will buy u a beer next time, will let you know.

I collect vintage stationary engines - up to about 25 in number now.

It's a bit addictive! But got some lovely engines ready to run and display, but now we're saddled with this Chinese Flu, everything is cancelled which is very very annoying.

Here is my super-rare Gardner 4VT 2 Stroke Semi-Diesel

My equally as rare 1923 Petter HS12 Portable radiator cooled Semi-Diesel

Very pretty Jaeger 3 1/2HP hit and miss open crank engine

A 3HP Petter AppleTop engine

And just a few in the store!
