Donna I feel the urge to kiss you as no-one ever responds to my threads - which is perhaps understandable given my appalling syntax/spelling/fondness for Cocteau Twins :)

But yeah, thanks! Bono would have been an estate agent though, surely? Spot on w/regards Polly tho.

Vic Godard was Dr C's postman. It doesn't seem right that such a great man should ever have to work for a living again, but at least he was delivering to Dr C, which makes it somehow more bearable.
