    Moe, I trust you are referring to Duufuss, and not Grapevine.....

    Yes, there could be a case for saving Duufuss from himself. Of course, if it were to be a warrant for his arrest, someone would have to sign it - and there would need to be a justifiable reason for his arrest.

    Well, for a start, he does seem to have obtained Arr&bee's password, which has permitted him to post on this forum......

    Of course not Grapevine. He's as solid as they go.
    Dufuss, on the other hand, is not.
    And what can we say about R&B?

    If you shipped Duufuss off to the Arctic Circle, then he'll be well used to a frosty reception.

    Yes. You'd have no chance. It's a country park, managed by a trust. They have 900 veteran oak trees - and they have counted every one......

    Wandering around, in a green outfit, with a bow and arrow, calling yourself Robin Hood, would get you arrested.....
