Hi Chris
Great you're back on this amazing build. Wonderful work from you and Jen.
Jim

The TBC is going strong. It is still the 5* club for all those who strive for organised perfection. Unfortunately there was a committee meeting where alcohol was served and Madam Fifi and her dancing girls were invited. There have been suggestions that it was, in reality, a party and Covid rules were disregarded. A ridiculous assertion. Our lawyers, Messrs Conem and Skrewem, will put all their energies into refuting this scurrilous accusation.
Yours
Archibald MacPorkies (club sec)

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Did not mean to infer anyone was so afflicted, but fussy/tidy people are often accused of being on their way to exhibiting symptoms of this disorder. A TV series 'Monk' depicted a detective so afflicted. Their is also a UK TV series (title escapes me) where a university professor so afflicted consults w/law enforcement.

I think the series you are referring to is Professor T.
We have it airing here in NZ at the moment.

Thank you for asking, NZ is mostly Covid free, we are now starting on the Omicron variant so the numbers are rising a tad, but generally we are ok.
