Found Long Lost Relative
Not sure why but I thought I'd post this on here. My family have been searching for my uncle for about 29 years now and last night out of
nowhere my dad managed to find him on Google! How wierd's that. Just goes to show the power of the net. Turns out he makes lutes(!) and is quite
well known for it so I don't know how we've missed him all these years and he lives in Greenwich so I think a trip down to the big stink
is coming soon. (Thats the downside  )
Just wondered if anyone play the lute here. Stranger things have been asked you know

In the frozen land of Nador they were forced to eat Robin's minstrels. And there was much rejoicing

The Ballad of Brave Sir Robin
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken;
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away;
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen--
Fame is when your old car is plastered all over the internet

Never played a lute, but I have played the idiot more times than I care to remember. 
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
