Thx to all who replied to my post - I have loved reading about all your old boys 'n girls and am so glad that there are so many still going strong! I am now happier knowing I am not the only one keeping my old boy in work - his brain is so active I'd think he'd go crazy if I didn't do stuff with him!
Good luck to you all - here's wishing everyone many years of fun to come with the veterans !!
