 | Ayup Alison, Sorry about the delay in getting you signed on (distracted by tanks is the only excuse I can offer). Have fun, and I hope you find what you're looking for. Cheers, Adam.

Around that time I did meet someone who had served with him and due to no particular interest at the time didn't ask the right questions. You won't believe how frusrating that is now. Thanks Adam - no problem. And a big thankyou to everyone for the welcome. Ali | |
