Making his way to England by working as a ship's deck hand, Australian actor Vincent Ball attained a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art almost immediately upon arrival. One of his first jobs was as a stunt double on the 1949 Technicolor romance The Blue Lagoon, but within a few years he was featured on his own in such films as Stop Press Girl (1950), The Drayton Case (1954) and A Town Like Alice (1956). With his street-tough handsomeness and pugnacious personality, Ball became a fixture of medium-budget action films in the early 1960s. Vincent Ball returned to Australia in the early 1970s, where he thrived as a character player in such Down-Under films as Breaker Morant (1980), The Southern Cross (1982) and Phar Lap (1983). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Very close, I/we reside in the County of Greater Manchester, about 7 miles from the centre of that fair (?) city.
-and about ten miles from Old Trafford cricket and football grounds, too.

Ah, very close then!
I thought so.
Ms Smorgs must live quite close by, then? (Where is she, BTW? )

Wake up you bastids!
I need some sympathy!
My damn cellulitis thingy seems to be trying to come back.
It is itchy and a bit swollen.
The doctor worried that the bite might have formed a little clot which hadn't gone away, last time I saw her, and was gonna have it ultrasounded if it didn't get better.......and it seemed to.
Dammit!!!!

Sorry to hear this, Deb.
I hope any necessary treatment to fix the condition is short & does the trick.
Good luck!

Too early yet Just a bit of drive-by sniping (sometimes I hit something, sometimes, well...sometimes it hits me :wink: ).
Jeepers dadpad I would have thought the Akubra thread (aka the best hats in the world bar none are made of, inter alia, rabbit fur)* would have done the job
