On one occassion we shared the downstairs with a Pratchett fan meeting (we really should have tried a few tortoise sacrifices to wind them up ;) ) Jason Clifford -- UKFSN.ORG Finance Free Software while you surf the 'net http://www.ukfsn.org/ Sign up now

Silver Cross pub to which you attended: ran out of beer Barley Mow pub to which you attended: ran out of beer Now, forgive me here, but does anyone else see a vague connection between the fact that the pub runs out of beer, and the fact that Alex was there? *grin* Maybe that's the "silver bullet" to our hosting troubles. Wherever it is, we just have to make sure that Alex is the "designated driver" for the night! :) Not popular? No, didn't think so! Steve ===
