No matter the problem, the answer is always give it more gas.......

The broken thing-a-me-jig was so blindingly obvious, I was SURE you didn't mean THAT.
So went for the the answer to the question, which was,

"What's wrong WITH this image"
NOT
"What is wrong IN this image"

Jesus Bob, next your going to be psychoanalysing my disproportionate ego in a way to compensate for your lack - .... oh sorry, thats another person in another forum..... profuse apologies :wink: :wink:


I cant even be bothered having a wee joke with you, Mark, so take your (your words) disproportionate ego and sarcasm to where ever suits you best.

Ok, the missus likes the idea of coming up to Thommos 8) , so, you guys let me know when it is looking good up that way for a play, and we will book some time off work (Friday and a Monday) and come up over a weekend, unless any of you want to make it a "during the week thing".
Yorick, your offer is much appreciated, we will be in touch once things are more "concrete" timeline wise. :D

Of course this means you guys will have to come down our way for a drive too...... 8) :D
