To be fair to s b, a functioning brain in that particular discipline is something of a hindrance and my heart was never really in it.

I am rather worried however by S's uses of the word cosmic. Is he a bit of a six counties version of Withnail do you suppose?

Oh, I don't know. Some of these chaps seem awfully clued-up about all the pipes and valves and water pressures and gubbins.
