Despite pleadings from the regulars, I feel it is necessary to reveal the high resolution image of my charity stunt. However, I’m going to drag the other eleven down with me as well. So, between now and March next year, I will reveal each Calendar boy in all his pink, hairy glory. (Round Table year runs from April to March due to annual committee elections which you don’t want to be doing in December).
I was going to hang on until the dates coincided with real-time, but unfortunately that won’t happen until 2031 and as I’ll have probably been dead three years by then I think it is only fair that I give the other guys a crack of the whip. April to January are usable in 2008/9, March in 2010 (But February is only 2031 as it is a leap year).
February is a short month of course (which is why I was Mr. February 2004) and you will have forgotten about me when you see March- it is a real Lulu!
(Any Batley Round Tablers who want to persuade me not to put up their pics- Morley Community Radio is looking for sponsors for the next broadcast. It has to be worth at least £100!)
Just to give you a teaser, here is the rear cover.

I just found out that Roger Hodgson (of Supertramp fame) is doing six shows in Britain during early October. I’ve already booked, unsurprisingly.
See more about the tour here.

…or rather, green stains, chlorophyll hands from the first grass cut of the season. The front is looking OK, the back a little shaggy. It was a dry day, sometimes sunny but a bit chilly with a cold wind.
For the first time I cut the grass with my noise cancelling headphones on & hooked up to my dinky MP3 player. It relieved the monotony no end and I listened to various music tracks and an interesting talk by Brian Micklethwait.
There is a downside to the Bose wonder phones though- you cannot hear the lawn mower! I worked out that I could feel when it was running (& jammed up) from the vibration up the handles.
Another downside is that spouses can sneak up behind you and give you a shock by tapping you on the shoulder…

About four years ago I organised (and took part in) a charity Calendar for Batley Round Table. Twelve blokes got their trollies off and protected their modesty with only the tools of their trade.
Meet Mr. February 2004.
In case you are wondering, I’m holding a Buttinski.
(It is deliberately a very low res image, as I have no desire for it to become an unofficial Corporate IT Screensaver!)
