Ah, thanks, Sandra and Guest (especially for forgiving the thread creep)! Bernard and Eleanor are indeed wonderful and it's grand to know that he's much-appreciated in Oz. The gap between us leaving school at 18 and meeting up again in Perth was over thirty years, and naturally we'd both changed a fair bit, but he's still the same amusing, fun-loving, down-to earth bugger he was at school. Cheers!
