Ok folk, thanks for the help, I've got it to work :) I've changed as per Paul's - and the FAQ - suggest to do here... The only thing I've done differently is that I got the Accounts list up, unticked the Gtalk in the list and ticked it again... at that I got a request to allow the out of date certificate - which I did and it instantly connected...
