Well done Ray, It was a privilege to be there too see it, I felt like a proud father at the birth  ;D
As Debbie says, just like your Hammy barrier last year, now that you have got your first they will turn up by the dozen.
My "in the field" hammy id I think may be wrong and it may be better than I thought, have you checked it in Spink?
It could be a touch of "Jammy Coburn" strikes again ;D

Well done Ray!!!

Ahhh yes at last he has the monkey off his back. My initial  happiness for Ray though was very quickly replaced by an unseen void - a hollow feeling of nothingness, as if someone had gently carved away a small chunk of my heart at first I thought it may be wind but it soon dawned on me what it was......... how was i going to wind Ray up anymore ?  He'd found his Roman!!!  His once Achiles heel was now adourned and protected with a hefty pair of 'stamp on your neck Doc Martin Boots'.

Ahhh but wait,  with a deft slight of hand and without missing a heart beat we can now move chefs ex spinal hugging primate and firmly attach it to Ray.......

Now Roman 'No Scroats'  Ray  you have to find a Crotal Bell  :D .

I think it helped him when I sent him a PM last night and threatened to "shoot him and have a rug made out of him" if he didn't find a Roman coin today. Oh well I guess I'll have to just buy one now.
