Many thanks to all of you (incl. ixion) for the good wishes. Hard luck on paul & jws --- so very nearly there. Thanks to mattrom for the delightful word, running the show & the videos. Special thanks to peter, les, bbm & seamus for your votes. I'll try to think up something challenging by next Thursday, and rosalind has kindly offered to do the intro for me. Until then, don't drink too little! gk
