I'm off now for a week's holiday on the QE2. She's 40 years old next week and she is spending her Birthday in Glasgow on the River Clyde where she was built. Southampton tomorrow, then Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool and back home. Parties, celebrations, fireworks all the way. Someone is going to pop in to caretake my plot while I'm away, and Buddy is going into prison... I mean a hotel.
