The reason why I asked about a Phanthom Phinali was quite simple - I am 60 next year and I know that many of our members are of a similar age (if not older)!
I would so much like to be re-aquainted with my colleagues from 92 SQN as the guys there were ace and made it some of the best years of my service life (which is ongoing in New Zealand)!!
I wait (with anticipation) for your next function idea after the Leeds beer festival - goodness me as a current CAMRA Life member living in another country I do miss the British Real Ale.
I'm still out here but I'm in Benidorm when the Leeds thrash is on. I know, I know, Benidorm's got a baaaaad reputation but it's the closest you can get to a block bar bash these days.
