Congratulations, Kevin, on helping the total 'views' on this thread pass the 100k mark!
[I only just reformatted the index in time, to prevent the extra digit buggering up the justification  ]

PS: I was walking on Jesus Green (among other places) a couple of nights ago, lamenting to myself CVLJ's plight, and regretting I wouldn't be able to make Pete's O2 concert this weekend. All: don't miss this one! The maestro has a few new songs in his gig bag that I haven't heard yet.
