Has it been a month already?  Really?

Sad to say it has, and Maart's stint on Talk Awhile has finished.  I know I speak for members when I say that we are profoundly grateful to Maart for the amount of his valuable time that he has given us, his humour, candour, honesty and recommendations.

Maart has said that he is willing to answer any queries through his website at www.maartinallcock.com

When we asked him we knew he'd be good but we had no right to expect him to be that good!

Thanks Maart - a true gentleman and a true star!

Members - lets hear it for the legend that is ..... Maart.

I raise a glass in praise of Maart,
Who - as we guessed - was cute AND smart,
And was blessed with a simply enormous part
To play in the TalkAwhile questions.

Thank you, Maart, very much indeed.

Arrived home from the glamour of a Yusuf Islam session to find a BIG envelope from the IR (no, not International Rescue). Several emotions in a very short timezone. Opened the thing. Forgot to sign the Focker... Phew!!
