    BWD,

    I see from your schematic that there is no relationship to Gin Palaces and fat Ladies, is that correct.

    Sort of like a harley eh, no fat ladies allowed.......

    theorem dismissed

    Besides being an acute and broad minded observer BWD, you are also an exceptional artist ....... but I disagree with "some beers," although I see you have had second thoughts and crosshatched "all beers" - however to reiterate, I would have included the latter.
