Vulcan Tattoo... oo-er - now there's devotion. I hope she has been duly recruited to the cause :D

Not even Smiler has one of those... (I may be proved wrong at later date) ;).

I was surprised by the inaccuracy of some of the points in the second artice: 'It took a successful last gasp appeal to supporters and the Heritage Lottery Fund this year gave them the chance to perform across the UK this year' :-o We should be so lucky.

And for the pedant team: 'licencing ' [-x

Still, nice article, and great that out appeal ad is up there.

That's 'cos I can't type. If I'd been publishing it in the media I might have checked for 'snarly-up wordings' first :D
