But I feel ashamed about inadvertently posting a bogus link. Don;'t tell me to have my eyes checked. I just did. New prescriptions will soon follow.

Yes, but it had half a dozen h2g2ers mad at *me*, because I couldn't see the redirect and didn't know what they were talking about.

Also, the BBC was still running the site, and they were afraid we'd get in trouble. smiley - whistle

I own a music box that plays 'Moustafa'. I inherited it from my father, who received it as a thank-you gift from an Egyptian colleague at his engineering firm. smiley - laugh
