It's not over till it's over....(but it's nearly over)


As David B has already mentioned 'The exhortation for not departing prematurely until a hormonally challenged person of the feminine gender in a terpsichorean situation has performed’ somewhere downthread, (never-leave-until-fat-lady-sings. ) I thought it might not be a bad point to present the cumulative patch yearlist. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that we might add one or two before 2015 arrives but I suspect it's pretty much a wrap. 135 is not one of our best showings but it's not too shabby either.
