Thanks for all the comments & should also add the way the site is set up & run is a positive reflection on why folks like it here so much , for the mostpart its easy going , humourous & covers a multitude of useful ( + useless ) topics .
Anyhow its bank holiday weekend , its sunny here in Lancs & i'm just popping out to pick my daughter up from work in Clitheroe which means a blatt over my favourite hillside into my favourite valley :driving:

They should change the rep from 'lifer' to 'get a job' when you get past 10k posts

:P :P
