                            Nice. I think you should be ok this evening. A light wind-cheater should do it

                                Of course... got some spare time now!

                                It's Friedrich Cerha

                                Completed Lulu as mercia said; in April 2006, he joined the Joseph Marx Society which he'd helped found.

                                What was the other bit?

                                Oh yes and he wrote this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Memories-Chi.../dp/0012180173
