Agreed.

Interesting aside: my name is Nick Quiney; Shakespear's daughter, Judith, married Thomas Quiney. I have not yet managed to trace a family connection - but I'm working on it!

Just thought I'd say a friendly hello from Australia.

Doubt I'll post much here... but enjoying playing on this site. Just noticed this thread was in 2nd place!

You were right - 365. One day's gone already, this is Day 2.
