These are the little pleasures that make Chiff & Fipple such a joy in my life. Alan Mount has helped moderate these boards and has been the Daddy of the C&F chat room for I don't know how long. I recently sent him a baritone ukulele as a gift. He then sent me the following file which made me grin, warmed my heart, and did the same for Mrs. Undisputed. Enjoy:

I'm with Cran on the Alan question; truly one of the joys of C&F for me.

I love Alan to death. I think he is grossly under-rated as a moderator, a chat-maintainer, and as a flute-maker, and part of it is his own modesty and virtual invisibility.
Alan is the kind of gentle, tolerant man who would never impose himself unless he absolutely has to, which is good for a moderator, but bad for somebody who wishes to sell flutes! That's why whenever he is mentioned, I direct people to his site:
Aw, how cute. Jonny from Jump, Little Children used to sing this once in a blue moon when they were still touring.
*puts more rabbits on Alan's head in gratitude*
<i>The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.</i>
I won't have speaker capability until tomorrow night, but I'll listen then and I know I'll be smiling! Alan's definitely my favorite pun-master and I can't believe Dale stole my idea of sending him a baritone ukelele!
Fecking genius.Made my night and I'mnot even sober.
I love Alan too.
In fact, after hearing that I love everybody!
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.
"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
Wahoo! I posted a picture at last! Only took me 20 minutes!

Very nice, Alan.
(... nice job Alan!)
