Good luck MHD :)

Btw, you may see some weird creatures of humanoid description walking on two legs. Relax, they're humans...at least I think they are. Perfectly safe until provoked - then run for your lives :D :twisted:

What's a BOM?

Wayne,

They've probably just found the winders. :)

Scott,

Good luck with this, and just remember, your guess is as good as any.

Good luck Scott.
This will be a good test case, we'll find out if the melbournian characteristics are genetic or aquired. :wink:
