Thanks Very Much for that Prudie and Lie-in King, just what I needed and of course, Lie-in King, you can soon expect a REWARD for your contribution!...smile.

...oh!...and yet another REWARD for that one too LIK!

[Lie-in King]

My cup runneth over... smile

[woodelf]

You goin' for the hat-trick then?...well, you've got it...a gold-encrusted trio of REWARDs, so sort out your mintilpoos or even mantlepiece to place 'em on!...and it's no use anyone asking what they are, as they're shrouded in the deepest mists of secrecy, that only the true transgressors of the true transgression or jolly japes can attain!
