Retro - thanks for your kind words about Liv; she had a reallly really good day at the dive. It's Friday night so naturally she is out and about somewhere.
Should you wish to donate (we have been amazed at the number of ABers that have) here's a link (as you can see she takes after her dad in the good looks department).

Thanks Cap'n (touches forelock).
20 Golden Guineas from my prize money being dispatched by His Majesty's Britannic Navy's fastest clipper and worth every groat for the effort and I won't be kicking up a "Bob's a dying about it" sir.
Sorry Cap'n.Salt water and Pusser's Rum runs in me veins. :-)
