Anyways Bill is a sweetie, a former builder and qualified and experiences archaeologist, practical and considered.
He is clearly pulling his punches a bit to keep on side with stakeholders, and wouldn't have got this wrong.

Fire and Rain by James Taylor for me with my dad.
Also forgot to poop for like a week apparently, only relaxing enough to do so after my sisters wedding (good timing) and an hour or so of such great stomach pain layer that night that I asked my flatmate to call an ambulance.
