Guidos finger must have healed up ok then........The end got cut off when a garage door blew shut against it in a gale in november at his 'current sqeeze's' gaff on Yell apparently her daughter found it.......!

Has he finished his boat yet? Last time I saw it it was up to the gunwhales......For an old crusty Belgian he doesn't half pull some birds though!!!!

FP.
