    Haha Thank you SB, very kind of you to say. I've learned so much from Brian and Paul and many others over the years so I owe a lot of thanks to those guys too.

    Cheers Brian :), yeah I think it's the first I've seen of those also. Would have loved to have got a side profile (even more so now)
