    Actuall I did read the link but found it was an unnecessary complication for a bit of pi55 taking and fishin -YOU on he other hand took the bait -dramatically!


    Well done!

    and anyway as Gilber co wrote the Pirates of Penzance, had you any kulture about you, you would have realised it and agreed with the nautical theme that this is about - All hail the mighty 'Gilbert' may he never get up your nose!
