    I'll happily send my copy on - it was indeed a good read. If there are no takers in a couple of weeks then I have a couple of friends who'd be interested.

    Cheers for starting this thread Rob!

    Sorry, I've been at my girlfriend's house tussling with the whiffy (wifi). It's currently decided to let me on, so I'm posting before it throws another strop.

    It has indeed arrived, thanks very much - to rob and yourself!
