          Well spotted that man! Though I can assure you that no money changed hands. And as for the ‘dancing monkey’ tag… well, I never!

          In fact, I believe I got the gig because of my scribblings in this here blogosphere (HT to Maxine) – just in case anyone was looking for some motivation to keep on blogging (following on from another thread).
