    Years ago I w stopped on Putney high street on my way home to paint the flat. I feigned interest, invited them back. Two of them came with me, and helped paint the wall. I engaged them in fascinating conversation until the wall was all but done, thanked the. For theri help, opened the door and watched them leave. To this day I'm still not sure of what faith they actually were MVVM# - See how I did MVVM my way ___________________________________________ Man, you're a god. - walterhevedeich 26/05/2011 .\\axxx (That's an 'M')
