   Okay, I'll vote for David Robbie, given the Scottish connections.

   But -d'you know what, Eddie? - I'll bet you'll neither confirm nor deny.

    I think it is Eddie himself (he had a week off recently...), and the word 'Executive' is a ironic term.

    Re: Stewart - Ahh I read the cryptic clue you'd left at the refuge

    "Lets just say that My 30th birthday was when a certain Mr Blair got into power"

    Now that was the 2nd May which would have been Wednesday? Anyway I hope you have a fab one.

    We will all do a 'Happy birthday to Stu' on Tuesday :-)

    I suppose the election day was the 1st and not the second. Technially my cryptic clue was wrong. I should have said when the british oublic voted him and labour in and not when they won. It was labour day though. ANd it was for my mother 40 years ago! groan.
