Looks like it will be mainly cloudy with perhaps some gaps in the cloud. But mainly just cold.

Looks like a beer and chat night to me.

"Dance the Night Away"
Was indeed played by the Mavericks - Great tune, still can't remember where it's from though  :-?
Was indeed played by Van Halen - Another great tune featured in the "Mission to Mars" with Tim Robbins etc.

Yep it was good to put some names to faces, now all I've got to do is make sure I remember the right names to the correct faces :)

Carole thanks for the help with curves I'm revisiting some of my old images now to see if I can get more data out. I'll also try and workout why the panel I was using in CS4 doesn't do the same as that under Ctrl-M.

I'm not convinced any of us have correct faces.

Yup, that appears to be what most forecasters mean when they say, "clear". Appart from that, it' seems that I missed a good night :cry:
