thanks all - i've had my life on hold since the start of the year due to some family 'stuff' this last weekend was the first time / excuse i've had that's allowed me to go back to my bad old ways - i think i've got about 10 hours sleep from friday morning to monday night and have done various stupid things covering most of the eastern uk / midlands with, to and meant for people half my age. i now have several new and interesting aches and have lost half a stone. overall i'd call it a good birthday - except for driving back from gt yarmouth at 4am in a blizzard monday moring THAT wasn;t fun. chris, we'll have to go out some time.
