Thought about "test" but couldn't quite reconcile why. Many thanks to all for your help folks, especially "breed". I was a million miles away with that one.

Wharton - good to know you're still here sir, many congratulations on your team winning the title. Sadly I was right about the Pars.

Thanks Duncer, the Dundee United games should be interesting, what with McNamara leaving and taking 2 of our best players with him. Sad about the Pars but you forecast that months ago.
