Hearty birthday wishes to that fine Gentleman.

Yes - Happy birthday Dick, - on the banks of a celestial Redmire! 
And thanks, Fennel, for that interesting point - it's true that we all make cunning plans in the dark winter nights, - plans that simply do not work, come the summer!

A tip of the hat and a raise of a glass to an angling legend. A few chapters of Stillwater Angling with a spot of port tonight in memory!

I shall raise a glass to Dick during the England v Ireland Friendly tonite.
One of these days I will get a copy of stillwater angling.
