Sorry for slow turnaround this time: amongst other things, we have a leak in the central heating system and yesterday I had a set-to with my insurance company about it, now resolved I hope,
In essence, we don't know where the water is going but it's going somewhere. I doubt it's caused much if any damage yet, but left to its own devices, it may. I'm covered for damage but we need a contractor to find the leak by filling the system with gas and detecting where the gas comes out. I was going to pay for that myself until I found out it costs £2,500 plus VAT and that quickly changed my mind. If there's damage they'll pay for it, if it turns out the damage is small or non-existent they won't. If I'd left it until the damage was significant, they would pay for it and the damage! It's crazy. So read the small print!
Anyway, there are the 12 weekend fixtures. Of fixtures there are 12. There are not 10 fixtures, neither are there 13. (see Monty Python and the Holy Grail).

"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits. in thy mercy' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats..."
"And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'
