Thanks for the tips.

Also, should I be concerned that we may be ill due...

Hi Sean,

Brian.

Thanks Julie. I don't think Jane (Da Boss) will agree to that though.

Brian.

Thanks for the info [:I]. I guess 4 hours each way means we will not be able to visit afterall :(

Brian. :D

I'm soo pleased for you. It must be a little bit stressful when things happen in the world in certain places. Im glad business is good.

Brian.

Thanks "Babe" for that vote of confidence. Always nice to hear I think, especially at times like these - on the brink so to speak.

Brian.

I must remember to tell my daughter Sarah about the bum-bag translation. She will surely giggle if she is asked for it to be checked out!!

Thanks all for this v useful information.

As in 'itsy bitsy teeny weeny' - ooh, showing my age there!. Regarding the mint, it all depends on how big the hole is (halo, rubber ring style or ...).

Brian.

Cheers.
