    Have you spoken to our mutual friend about those lifting handles. It
    would appear that he has got shitloads of them.

    Photos by the castle?

    Don't forget to give Pip's sister (iirc) a wave.
    I didn't. I got married in a registry office.

    30 minutes, £39, job's a good 'un.

  7. Not strictly true. Not shitloads. But some, yes.

    I've bought a couple.

    I was under the impression that there were a few more than 'some'

    Ours was Warminster registry then back to the house for a bring a bottle
    piss up. Smashing.

  11. Nope. He had a batch of a dozen or so, and they went instantly. I tried
    to get a few and failed. He managed to locate some more, in France, and
    they're coming in. I've got my name on a couple.

    The items in question are out of production as well - it's just that
    there are some knocking around old Honda stocks here and there and
    nobody actually realises their value - least of all D. Silver, Esq.,
    otherwise he'd be trebling the price. Which is unusual, because he
    normally has a damn good idea of the value of what he's selling.

    [1]They needed a wedding party to practice on otherwise we wouldn't
    have bothered.

    Nah, a load inside and outside the Museum. We were going to go the
    ruined abbey nearby, but the photographer got a bit carried away at the
    Museum.
    Bit late now.
    I try not to think about how much it all cost. But it wasn't /that/ bad,
    all things considered.
