No risk of the Twitter habit getting a grip on me, Phil. I opened an account and quite enthusiastically tried it for a a few days but then kept forgetting to tweet - partly because telling people that I was eating my Bran Flakes, having an early night or watching <i>The Apprentice</i> seemed so utterly pointless! Nevertheless, there are masses of people 'following' my non-existent twitterings!! Isn't that sweet? Tweet-sweet!!<br /><br /><b>ROGER</b> - Once a king always a king, once a knight's enough!<br /><br /><b>ANDY</b> - It's not 'Good-bye' or even '<i>au revoir</i>'.

I can live with a post a week, although Sharon's suggestion is appealing -- it's not quite practical. <br /><br />And I wish you well in your hopefully-remunerative writing. **SCB thinks, hmmm, is there a message here for me?
