Thanks to you both. Starsky - I'll be interested to see if you're right. A definite maybe - excellent!

All of this does really highlight the need to stay detached, take it all with a pinch of salt and get on with my own life.

When things like this are happening, staying 'attached' to the sitch, to him and to a desired outcome is just self-torture!

Thanks for all the advice Guys - you truly are sanity savers...
