Cracking story Tiger. To be honest whatever you do it is on a differrent level when you share it with others, particularly kids.

A few months ago a young mother with her two sons were watching the boats go round the pond on a Sunday morning. After the eldest asked a few questions, he must have been about ten, I asked him if he wanted a go. I worked on the principal that if it stayed in the middle, based on the speed of the model, I could have the transmitter out of his hands and stop the boat before it hit the edge!!

The look on his face as he manoeuvred the boat was priceless.

I used to know a friend with a pair of Ridgebacks which reminds me of a joke. What is the differrence between a Poodle sh****ng your leg and a Ridgeback sh****ng your leg? The Ridgeback gets to finish!!!
