Tim,

You are very welcome.

As for Gerard, well yes indeed. The reality and Doyle's imagination - the two are not the same!

However, I retire for the second time on 6 Jan 10 after almost forty years service in and out of uniform, so who knows what I will use my spare time for.

Drinking beer and watching porn movies is the first thought but I expect I will tire of both very quickly:-)
