I think I'd better try this in the privacy of my home before going "public" with a trick like this! :rolleyes:

Very cool idea!

Blu,

Hope to be a Maxville this summer. Have tried 2 years in a row now and have been sidetracked.

TRAINING KILT? ::huffhuffhuff::

Not true, just different. Although for the games, a trad seems more respectable.
