No, because that's all the time except when I go swimming or on holiday. Do keep up at the back! :klugscheisser:

Ok, my wild guess is:

Total: 31
Manual: 20

This is serious business... Thanks for supporting Street Child and drawing my (and our) attention to what they're doing. My donation might be small, but if some of our members supported them, a substantial amount of money will be donated by the inmates.

20 posts to go, good people! Get in quick if you need to.

The prize, by the way is not a huge one but I think it is something that any WIS would find useful. I will offer a choice of two single watch travel cases. One is the well-known Oakley watch vault and the other is a straight zipped case. I will try to post a picture. The winner can choose.

:lol: go AVO!
pick seven threads (at least three should be from 3 years ago....) and have a random (one word) opinion.

I will get there by the normal expedient of posting complete rubbish in any thread that happens to interest me...looking at the active menu that could take a while, but thanks for the offer! :D
