Yes thanks for sending me the link Dave. I had seen it before but it was nice to see it again.. Nice of you to be concerned about me being bored out here in Thailand

Having spent most of my life researching the institutions of South East Asia and the South Pacific, I can tell you that the entertainment there is first class. Those wee lassies have abused more poles than Hitler.
