<p>Jakkers ! I gave a prompt ???? Looking forward to the story on that Irish lad who was directionally handicapped (or maybe he wasn't and the rest of the world was). Think I will get me guitar out and play a few songs and maybe write one for himself. Sing a song and see who join's in the chorus,.... Slainte</p>
