Well you've sold it to me Tim. I've just ordered it from Amazon. One reason for my melancholy is that for the last few days I have been reading the best selling novel The Star of the Sea by Joseph O'Connor. It's a story based on the Irish potato famine and emigration of the 1840s so is by no means a feel good book but a "must read" for everyone of Irish descent though. I will bounce back in a day or two no doubt. SD
