Much appreciated - don't know how I missed that in the BRB!!

There were some real buggers this week - even by Paul McKenna's standards.

Yes, there were - in fact, out of the three of them, only Don gets the balance right for me (although his last one was pretty gruelling - hope he isn't heading the same way!).
