I did query it with Google, well kinda. Their "help" is pretty much self help so I didn't really get anywhere.

As I remember my request to Ben was for a more stable version - not necessarily google, but he may be aware, or be able to create something similar for the specific purpose. If not, then hey ho it was fun whilst it lasted.

I pitched it across the water - who never caught it?! (And I didn't see a splash either).

Ireland is back on the pitch so I'll call a winner if no one else arrives soon!!

Sorry but I am retreating to the pavilion again - cream teas or no. It's piddling down here, and I can't see any balls flying at me anyway (HW - behave!).
