Sorry Marco, got part way through my response to your 'shoot first, ask questions later' reply and got distracted by a cat related home emergency and then didn't refresh before posting this morning.Originally Posted by Marco
Good stuff, dudes

P.S Steve, we've 'kissed and made up now' (no tongues, either). Have you not read the above, mate?
Glad to see calm and order has been restored to the universe whilst I was away.

Emergency was caused by the cat, rather than happening to the cat.
Just combine gravity, carpet, wine (red) and cat in an equation in any combination you like and try and come up with anything which doesn't = DISASTER
