Surely, this must be the best forum on the web. over 200 members and still going strong on interesting posts. Many congratulations to whoever started it.
All because of one man and his derring-do with a rather fast boat!! I'm off for a pint tonight, so I will raise my glass to Donald and wish him a very Happy Birthday. He would have loved all this but then again, if he was still here at 88 years of age, we wouldn't be mending his boat, would we?
Happy Birthday, Donald!!

I suspect if he was still with us at 88, the nurses in his care home would have to be on their guard! 
Aye, we swear at his boat and hit it with hammers and no end of other air-powered violence, but he's always up there on the workshop wall watching over us- never forgotten, that's for sure.
