Urgent - Anyone know where David Morton is?

[Jack]

David, thought you were retired. Watch out for the virus!

There is a dangerous virus being passed around electronically, orally,
and by hand.

This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss, or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest grocery store. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolating-Neutralizer-Extract (WINE) or
Bothersome-Employer-Elimination-Rebooter (BEER).
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o></o>
Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. You should forward this warning to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.<o></o>

Jack ,
I am waiting for a hip repair job next month and doing one meeting at Silverstone prior to that with the help of a pain killing jab. Retire? Probably
at the end of 2012 unless it becomes tempting again though the thought of going
back on the road around Europe may mean finding a simple soul to to the driving and I'll just fly out each time. Who Knows?
With the Olympics next year this country could be a good place to be or not to be. Is that the question? Who knows but already there are major divisions between who gets tickets and who doesn't as the trading of tickets seems rife.
We have some for the mens diving, synchro diving and prize giving which is enough for me. The mens 100m final tickets are already available on the black market at £4,500 each. Ouch.....

That WORK virus is very infectious but apparently it stops old age retirement boredom syndrome.

 

[Jack]

David,
Old Age Retirement Syndrome (OARS) could be infectious! Be careful.

Mark,

That's a handsome craft your step-brother Commands, I don't recognize it, tell us about her.

Update for you Jim. (Very Proud) Steve has been given Command of this fine Frigate, HMS Lancaster, currently undergoing a 17M GBP refit.

Mark,

Thats great, in todays navys, there are fewer and fewer large ships to Command. Those births are saught by many, many qualified folks.

That is quite an achievement, he should be very proud.

ps, Another very handsome craft. Light Cruiser?

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

Runs on plonk, or at least I do....

 

[Mark]

(Hick), me too (hick)

And he's only 38yrs old. I was still crying for mummy when I was 38!

 

[Jeff Young]

Very cool.

 

[Paolo-LoveGT40 Modelworks]

wow! my fav british retired pilot is also a sea wolf!..and he loves also our wines.

Dunno if also a sailor...Buon vento Dave! (means good wind )

 

[Mark]

Dave has lots of good wind I hear!

 

[David Morton]

Hi Mark,
Just saw this - a bit late - but some of the best wind schools are in Italy some in the Adriatic and a lot on the Genoa area. A wind school? They sort out the men from the nancys and organise the training from "ab initio" sailors right up to Deep sea off shore yacht handling - the sort that competes in the Fastnet and Sydney- Hobart.

Hi Paolo,
- Soon I need more vino for my stocks in the UK, which will mean a visit to Castle Bolognese. I will probably have a week or so in N Italy - some in Milano Maritime, some in Imola, and some in Milan so you had best sort out some really good restaurants in advance. I don't often read the GT40s.com any more so respond on [email protected].
Ciao.
