Hey that's not fair, it was a condition that he wouldn't come back...
We are at this very moment hiding all our cars in case he decides to 'fix'
them, I have first hand knowledge of what he can do when let loose with a
Spitfire on a wet track - and can supply photo's of the remnants.
I am personally organising a blockade of Heathrow Airport; I just hope they
don't let him up the front to twiddle sticks and dials and things that beep.
Did anyone remind him that 747's don't have outside toilets?
Welcome home bloke. Where's my pressie....?

| Yes, friends, the Flying Limey himself, Mr. Dean Dashwood, has effectively
| irritated everyone in the Phoenix area, so this evening he will be
shuttled
| by armed escort to a Boeing 747 and shipped back to London. From that
point
| on, it will be up to Her Majesty to determine what to do with him.
|
| The Phoenix Gazette, in a Page 2 article, referred to Dashwood as "the
| quintessential Spitfire driver...friendly, articulate, fun to be around.
Not
| 100 percent right in the head, but possessing a good sense of humor and a
| desire to swing wrenches. A good companion and a trusted friend." The
| Arizona Republic, however, simply referred to him as "that bloke from the
| UK."
|
| From my own experience: should you ever have the opportunity to spend time
| with him, especially if he's controlling the stick of an aeroplane, I
highly
| recommend it. He's quite the guy, and I'm going to really miss having him
| around.
