Errrr I am happy with there being several miles of water between Nick and I thanks all the same.
This is taken from Nick's side. I live half way up the mountains you can see on the far side. Safe-ish I feel though with Captain Calamity one can never be sure

To be honest its only one of a number of possible options for Nick based operations Snoop. There are already plans to include him in the Middle East peace process. Basically we are going to tell the ambassadors from over there that if they dont get their act together we are going to send him on a tour to each country.

Desmond Decker= Foo Manchu [img]REMOVED BECAUSE IT WAS IRRITATING FELLOW READERS![/ img]

So who knows or cares ... The point is that when they serialised the films (for Saturday Morning Children's Cinema) each cliff hanging episode ended with Fu (Foo) vanishing in a horrible fire or something similar and his voice over would say "I'll be back"

According to the photographer it is a picture of the Dee Estuary taken from the Wirral side looking toward North Wales. I could have used a picture that would have more closely identified Nick's home but, as we all know, that sort of identification of anyone is a NO-NO.

Well I don't.
1. The hills are too far away.
2. Never seen a boat/barge that close to the coast their.

Below is taken just a mile or so futher eastwards down the coast from your suggested taking point.
My only suggestion is that yours may have been through the photshop.

I Googled Images of Dee Estuary. I live one side of it and can see it from my back windows. Nick lives the other side of it and can see it from his place. This picture claimed to be of the Dee Estuary, up and down which some fairly large barges and ferries sail.

I really don't think it is important where it was taken or when. If it makes you happy then it could have been taken anywhere but the point is that it demonstrates quite well that there is an expanse of water twixt Nick and I that I am not sure protects me from the "Nick effect" which is what I was making a joke about.

I could have argued that the OP was wrong because there is nowhere on your local golf course that looks like that and, having seen photos of you, I can say that you don't look like the bear in that picture but the point was the humour not the accuracy.

Certainly it is not worth falling out about. I did not take the picture and trusted the person who posted it onto the net but that does not matter, the picture does not matter. The joke was what mattered to me but the point of that has gone now too.
Shall we move on?
