He'll be back - it's 1930 local time in NSW.

Whether or not he'll be sober is another question.

Reg,

UK clocks moved backward one hour last night. Here it is now 1041 and Graeme is nine hours ahead of us.

My apologies.

I forgot that NSW went forward two weeks ago and we have now gone back.

Maybe we won't see him today after all.

Allowing for the fact that the Prune clock is wrong, guideline 4 will be invoked at 1545 GMT.

I don't think it's too serious - didn't he say it was some kind of wart?

No intake, so looks rocket propelled.
