Parkroads and Grunday

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Thanks for checking, Shannon - maybe it really was just
Solomon after all. That was the only recognisable Grunday
I found on the net, too.

Yes, me too. Why else would I be reading Castleview
yet again! More on that later, perhaps.

It sounds so much more exciting, put like that :-)
But no - "bear-chested", not "bare", and I was listening
rather than talking. The spectacles did show up on my
home-made id badge, and I wear contacts, if they count?

Peter.

"Large shambling person in contact lenses and topical T-shirt"
doesn't really have the same ring to it....
