    I will certainly give this a watch, I was "on dock" at this time working for one of the trawler owners, so will bring back a lot of memories, and not all good ones at that.

    Just my bloody luck. My VPN is having problems today, so I can't access the BBC.
    Must be a provider owned by the Allams ! :emoticon-0149-no::emoticon-0106-cryin
