Not bad after working all night in my little laboratory bending ions.

Beat It and have a really nice day with no grumbling or complaining about your miserable little lots. It is sunny, you are rich, you don't come from Jockland - make the most of it.

Aha - its slowly starting to dawn on me....going off topic is a skill much admired in these parts...

A bit like going off roading.

Anyone drive a 4x4? And do you get much chance to go 'off road'. Fancy getting meself one of them there 'Chelsea Tractors'.
