Thank you Graham.

Like most members here, I try to only make comments that either haven't been said before or value-add in some way. I know I clown around a bit and can be a bit of a smart-alec but those who know me well know it's all in good fun and I really mean well!

I try to comment on most things, especially images posted by new members but I find it really hard to keep up with everythig around here. Getting slow in my old age... (apologies to any other 42yr-olds out there..)
