Kit Aitken (Housemaster, Col A) also played for Harlequins.

Just take it that he didn't have a wooden leg in his mother's (if he had one) womb.

Cars: No I didn't invent them - that was done in the last century by some clever geezers. Now an upmarket Mondeo
I merely grabbed the bits when they crashed at Goodwood

Re: RUGBY
Thanks for the info - I didn't realise that Aston Martin cars were made in the Victorian era. Along with those Lambourghinis, I expect. They started out on tractors too. Never saw the link between tractors and flash sports cars - wonder if there is a missing link?sejintenej wrote:Tractors - got sold to those green fellas Deere (as in Oh Deere).huntertitus wrote: ps are you the man who started with tractors and then invented the Aston Martin - (David Brown is the DB in Aston Martin DB4,5,6,7,SV8 and 9)

Odd you mention Goodwood - my uncle ran the motor racing circuit in the 60's and I met Brabham and Surtees among other boyhood heroes.

I was an estate agent at the 'turn of the century' when a 'turn of the century' house suddenly became a new one.
A friend of our has been looking for a property in Miami.
He telephoned the largest realty company, (estate agent), and asked what the housing market was like at the moment.
"Buoyant.................." came the immediate reply.

Re: RUGBY
Since thios is the only communication method open to me, FWIW there is a PM to you answering that (politely, surprisingly) together with one to Spoonbill dated 14th Nov (beware surgery in Amersham - funny things come out of hospitals there), to JR today (don't stop taking the pills) and Simon K dated Feb 16th (answering a question about dinosaurs).huntertitus wrote:Odd you mention Goodwood - my uncle ran the motor racing circuit in the 60's and I met Brabham and Surtees among other boyhood heroes.
I've sent a message to Julian so don't be surprised if you get something totally out of date.
