He can come to Algiers and Skikda with me too...

To keep Archie going, I think it is important for the custodian to pass Archie on, not to wait until Archie's collected. No-one knows who's next, except the current custodian. But, BF, thanks for letting us know so Archie can continue his journeys. :D
