I feel the shot you missed some time ago was of Miles and I dressed in full ceremonial kimonos, a cunning disguise to assist us in blending in with the general scene. We followed Rod in silent 007 style, hiding behind lampposts etc in order to protect him during a tentative first date. It's no good, I've got to stop thinking of the boys as teenagers and in need of the watchful eye of a big sister :) All of that is true... except the part where Miles and I are in kimonos and the lamppost thing :) There is however a good book waiting to be written one day I'm sure. It would be interesting to hear who the boys would choose to represent themselves in the movie. Cid Annie,

Now if Rod, The Scarecrow, will pose with him...will think of the t-shirts we could then have. I see the possibilities for a new movie on the order of Bill and Ted's Great Adventure, only with the Collins Boys. We could even do a variation on the Three Amigos-Rod, Miles, and Tom Collins ride again. Annie To All,

How about you cooking it? Wouldn't it make some sort of a roast stuffed with nuts? Just a thought :) Christine Miles,

The newspaper wrote to the General Manager asking if he wanted any of the images used as gift items. A week later I was handing out t-shirts, mugs, beer mats and mouse mats with my picture on them to my chefs, friends and an ungrateful brother. That said, I recall being on the front page of the Westmoorland Gazette in Cumbria for winning a national cooking competition some years ago only to find my fish and chips wrapped in the same paper the following day! I said to the chip shop owner "that's a bit harsh" which he found hysterical and let me off the price-result! :mrgreen: Miles Cid,

Here we go again, one minute we’re building hides, the next we’re designing corrals for passing Wildebeest…. good job we’re around to guide Miles through life’s potentially hazardous situations :)
