not sure that frankinstine's monster is a good term to use, you havnt seen some of the members  first thing in the morning  i assume , or have you 

of all the Dutton sites, i would rate this as the best, it certainly has the most input, by far,   and because of that  is very helpfull,   heres to the next 4

Best be sending some birthday cake out with the next DT mag !!!   That is unless you Northern Duttoneers have eaten them all, we know you lot are partial to a bit of cake  :-)

[Adrian Southgate]

They don't call me two pud's for nothing you know...

[1xf87h8w80hlh]

do any of you know what date the DOC started i know its 1980

[Dave Taylor]

Could send you out a cake mix so you can bake your own, excited now that would be like getting the free gift in the Beano when you were a kid...

[1midz0wwbl268]

now thats a thought , a dutton bake off, with Ade acting as judge, sounds just up his street lol, bet our northern friends would cheat , and have someone make it for them , lets do it for stoneleigh  see who brings the best cake, home made of course , i used to be in that profession , so i had better not enter  

[Big Vern]

[1midz0wwbl268]

and , cream buns at 20 paces, sir, sounds like a python moment,  we are the knights who say, ning   

[Dave Thomas]

Oops been found out again yes Martin i am a Python fan:-)

[1midz0wwbl268]

Dave, in that case, what is the weight to air speed ratio of a swallow?? you can tell me the answer at stoneleigh   

P.S., if you are choosing cream buns, i,m choosing rock cakes  , at your ready sir, and ,,, Fire!!
