Had a nightcap again did we revel last night?! :lol:

Glad you could read the Willis - yeah, he does make some good points, doesn't he (as do you, monsieur revvers).

I'm pleased to say that the "MLD review" post above is "finally" finished. I think I must've set a record for "number of times edited" - I should've just set up my own website really for stuff like this that threatens to become a "work in progress" (not that I'd know how to). Rest assured that I don't intend to correct the b*stard more, and you can forget about updates! :wink:

Part of the reason for editing so much was that pasting in the URLs and getting the fonts right etc. rather distracted me getting the phrasing of the opening argument the way I wanted it...anyway I hope it now reads logically and smoothly to everyone. 8)
