Thanks Brian

Saved me doing too much work today.
Should have known the Fastnet, but I had my eyes closed the time I went round.

Phil
Most impressed by your claim for 4 extra points for knowing the answers (but not giving them) to 4 additional questions.
Clearly your advocacy is in the same league as the guy who pleaded, on behalf of his client:
" M'lud, my client wasnt even there!..............
Or if he was there, he didn't do it.................
Or if he did do it, he didn't mean too, and it was an accident"

Still happy to let you squabble amongst yourselves. Glad you all seemed to enjoy it (beats the hell out of working doesn't it?)
And if you and Louise need some tie breakers set, let me know and I'll get cracking tomorrow 'afters.
