Anybody else noticed that Steve is in a time-zone all of his own? Sorry Steve, interesting though your post was, it getting boring re-re-re-re-re-re-rereading it and, if I have to do that until the 17th of July 2009, I'll go *completely* around the twist (and I'd much prefer to stay in my usual position of *three-quarters* - as it gives me more room to manoeuvre .. LOL ) so, sadly, I've got to delete you :(
