Andy took the words tight out of my mouth! Carol seems to like boots as much as Nita likes handbags!! Must have dozens.

She has been here close to 20 years. She does like boots but I also buy them for her.

It was something I had always wanted to do and I really enjoyed it. Well it made a pleasant change to the work routine. Wasn't the most exciting case - a combination of handling stolen property, piracy and unauthorised set-top-box tampering and a lot of the time was sent listening to evidence comprising of lists with details. That's disappointing. I had a murder trial. Have you ever been go-karting?

Was he guilty?
Yes I've been go-karting once, in Burdett Road near Mile End and close to where I used to work.

So did you like Argentina then Neil? Sure I read somewhere that it's a poor country.Is it? Maybe I'm confusing it with Brazil so sorry if I am.

Their economy didn't do too well recently so everything there was fairly cheap. I wanted to invest in some property in the very wealthy area of Palermo, where we could have bought a luxury apartment for about $200,000. I really think that would have been a good investment although I don't actually have that money - not unless I sell my own flat anyway.
I did ilke going in August because it's winter there and it gave me a nice break away from sandals for a bit.

Lots of Englishmen married to Filipinos actually buy property in the Philippines or land to build on.Don't really see the point unless you're going to live there permanently though.

Possibly an investment in case that country ever becomes rich, or they become poor, or have to go there as refugees. That could be another advantage of having property in Buenos Aires - we may need to flee there as refugees sometime, you can never tell.

When it comes to football, does your allegiance lean towards England or Israel?

Israel can beat the small teams and can draw with the big teams but can't beat the big teams which they need to do if they are going to ever qualify for anything. And hi jerri.
