I could not agree more cappy, my school report always read "could do better", i did do better, i went to sea, and never ever regretted it. My report was written by a very nice man in a faded suit, who had never done anything but teaching us lot of village kids. i know who made the right choice, KT

Mine would be a short list, anything by whitney housten, john Cash, but i would need a box of hearing aid batteries to go with it. finally any long play records by Cliff Richards (thats to keep any wild life away), i could then sleep to that with the hearing aid battery removed, KT
