>>> Let the learning commence 

Well theres this really thick manual that needs reading............  ;)

Seriously though just chip in anywhere, none of us know everything and the beauty of forums is that we all pick up stuff we never knew before.

Hi John.

..... but did he tell you who for?  :-X

Welcome back, Dave.  Did you have a nice holiday?  I was expecting a ransom demand from the Welsh Mafia (The Tafiosa) telling us to pay them thousands of £s, otherwise they would let you come back.....  ;)

Good job they didn't send the ransome note to you then John. Otherwise, it would have been paid and I wouldn't be back. (I expect it was Nik that got it - he's too tight to pay.)

The spy worked for British Intelligence - speaks 20 languages and has travelled all over the world. He described the job as not-very-exciting, just gathering data and reporting back.

Aha!  Military Intelligence!

I believe that's an oxymoron.....

Some oxymora which come to mind.....

Airline Food
Tax Return
Personal Computer

.. and the old favourite....

Microsoft Works!  ;D
