Tommo's leaving lunch

On Tuesday we also said our farewells to Paul "Tommo" Thompson. Another lunch. Another ice cream cake. Another Brit leaves us and heads back to Blighty and a life where bacon butties and Indian food is freely available, but where gas costs about £3,000,000 per gallon. We'll miss him.

Paul and "Kev"

A little funny... Paul has always called Stephen "Kev". Why is lost back in the mists of time. I was speaking to someone back in the UK (who knows us both) and he asked if Kevin had been back in the UK for the Farnborough Air Show! He doesn't know Tommo, so I can only presume that Stephen is leading some kind of secret double life (well secret from me anyway!) in which he is known as Kev!!!! We were all in stitches when I shared that story!
