hang on, I suspect we need a recount - according to 1310/71 the good Doc has been posting since before the internet was invented...... (or was he just jotting notes and putting them to one side until there was somewhere to post them?) :wink:

The term you're looking for is "stalking", I believe :lol:

Nah, nothing better to do on a lazy Sunday than read Ausmini, listen to some tunes and play poker, while the kids gorge themselves on eggs :lol:

I've had the flu or something for nearly a week, so I'm just lazing about indoors, keeping warm, trying to ignore it (so it'll go away). :lol:
