thanks for that guys. i got it because i am retiring later this year and, apart from the obvious reasons, it'll give me somewhere to hide from 'her indoors' ::)

I find it fantastic therapy to talk endlessly about my plot when I can't be on it!
Bore the trosers off your work colleagues, it prepares them for all the strange requests you may make over the coming weeks/months ;)
