Thanks, Guru, that is just the sort of info. I need.

Sorry to disappoint but I really dislike football. Probably because I spent my youthful Saturdays watching Airdrie. I have relations and friends who are Hearts fans and it's purgatory going out with them. Tonight, my wife and I will sit down with a glass of wine and watch the pro-bowl, all the way f...
