Now...

In that thread Sorcha said,

G'day Mark,

If Sorcha can Sorcha out ... good. I'll keep a watching brief and post the words (you must know the tune). They should be in a standard edition of Paterson's poems.

Regards,

Bob Bolton

I have never been much of man for biscuits (considering you have to cook them twice and all).

Anyway when time and mind permit I will go back to the cookie monster (Hail USA) and resubmit.

Thanks all. I am beginning to get back on track (new job and all that stuff).
