    Well at least your busy day wasn't interrupted by your "quickie"

    For some reason "Harvey" popped into in my head reading that question, but I can't think why!

            would that one be Thomas ? Brown Willy is a hill in Cornwall apparently. Willy Hess led the Halle for a while. Are any of these blokes composers ? Thomas Beecham ?

                So he was but not the one on the card, Dave. (Good to see you join the mad world of AA!)

                Thomas is the surname one, mercs.
