Thank you.  the mystical all seeing all knowing bigwavedave is never wrong!

thanks dave, what a godsend, I was thinking of picking 84, 73, 55, 91, 95, and 104 but i think i'm gonna be winning big this saturday now, I'll get you a pint when the cheque arrives. 

On the subject of men and women being friends, a wise man once told me women are allowed to be "just good friends" with a man (especially after they dump one), but men can only ever be letches, under-the-thumb, or gay. 

Dear Dave,

The depth of your wisdom astounds me.

A good friend of mine (nothing more ) has made a heart-wrenching decision: his van came to an abrupt and final stop last week and he decided to buy a new(er) van rather than a boat!
Now, this man of exquisite taste has set his heart on a Contender.
I also have to mention that he is a self-effacing, caring, refined gentleman who puts lots of time and energy into helping others. Here is my question: do you think he'd object if grateful forum readers kindly made a small donation towards a new(er) boat...? 

(to give you an idea of price, my local Contender sailor shouts from the sitting-room that you can get a good second-hand for £2,500 - There are over 1,500 members on the forum. That's not even 2 quid each.... Such a great man deserves at least that! )
