Brian,

Thanks for the update, Clumpy was sad and worried as we watched Kloumpios drive away on his way to you. Clumpy was especially worried about Kloumpios getting through the crowds that had assembled for the Royal Wedding. Glad to hear he made it safe. Clumpy says hello and he looks forward to reuniting with Kloumpios next week. Clumpy will be busy this week helping to analyze defect data to initiate root cause corrective actions here in Germany.

Regards,
Tom

Subject: Re: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Answer

The doorbell rang this morning just as I was in that delicious state of 
half-awake and half-asleep. I crawled out of bed and down the stairs. Lo 
and behold, it was Kloumpios, all smiles, glad to be back in his native 
heath. Excitedly, he told me all that had happened in the last month or 
so, as we had our breakfast Weetabix and tea. He was very impressed with 
all he had seen in the US and Germany but seemed a little disappointed 
that he was alone for this trip.

As he had his John Deere, I suggested he tidied up the garden but I told 
hime he could have as much time off as he wanted to visit his family. He 
invited me to a family Sunday souvla 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souvla) tomorrow. Wow!
