    And Kevins

    Hepatic - Hermes **

    ** other Greek gods were available as were aircraft carriers.
    Here's a coincidence, I served 3 months on HMS Hermes in 1962. The equivilent Roman God is Mercury & HMS Mercury was the Naval shore base for the Communications Branch and I spent some time there

    Yeah I know

    Think you are correct, it is one of my favourite places anywhere. The scenery, history, atmosphere, bierkellers and more...it is twinned with Cambridge.

    Heidelberg - Hermitage **

    ** speaking of reds...Crozes Hermitage is pretty good (for my taste). Also a wonderful museum in St Petersburg

    Helsinki - Heath*

    * - other former PMs are available

    Swansea wasn't badly affected at all - seemed to 'stop' at Neath. My wife should be home in the next 15 mins, then we will leave for the match around 1.45pm. I'm lucky that I can park at the ground.

    Helsinki - went there twice on business, last time was in early 1994 I think. Remember standing outside airport at 10.30pm waiting for bus to (airport) Hotel. It was minus 21, yet it didn't feel that cold......

    He's won 17pts out of a possible 27. We are through to the 6th Round of the FA Cup for the first time in 54 years - yep - it's bonkers, given we only had 13pts out of a possible 60 when he joined......

    My mother in law is home - but it's not easy. She is now hardly mobile. She wants to stay at home for as long as possible - she's lived in her house for 78 years....

    Really difficult for my wife - her Mum is 97, her sister, who has lost her husband and only child) is 77 (and has memory issues.....) cannot help, so Mrs Taff has the responsibility for both. Last year, my wife collapsed under the strain...
