Like the article - but "scare the rich" . . . the new 50% tax band should do that :) From the article <i>Which is why I found myself, a week before Halloween, kneeling in a puddle of mud in a freezing forest in north Lincolnshire, a bag over my head, a bottle of brandy shoved down my trousers and a large ex-marine bawling at the back of my head: "Move! Move! Next time you lag behind you'll be on your own."</i> Are you sure it's not you taking these people out :twisted: Best Rod Chris,
