I hope you haven't got the wrong idea, katlaughing. By "Rutleys", I mean "Rutley's Elements of Mineralogy", ed. H.H. Read, the standard reference book for minerals; nothing to do with mythology.

In any case, I clean forgot that I wouldn't have time last night to look up anything; I went to a singaround in Glossop Labour Club and didn't escape till the small hours. I made a right pig's ear of "The Band played Waltzing Matilda" - new guitar technique didn't quite work, but was very much cheered up when another player, far better than I am, got halfway through "The green Fields of France" and dried completely. Sorry, Mr. Bogle.

Out on the tiles again tonight, will try and remember "Rutley's" later. Might also have a go with Gilchrist's "Extraction Metallurgy", another long-disused relic from University.
