I was working in Sheffield in 1999 and was out for food with a few colleagues. That particular night I wasn't going to drink. After about an hour I got a call from an engineer who was doing an overnight install in Scotland. It wasn't going well. After being on the mobile for a while I asked the waiter for a beer. He brought me a Tiger. I've been hooked ever since. Luckily they sell it in Tesco and Sainsbury's, so the fridge is usually stocked. Ian -- Ian Robinson, Belfast, UK <http://www.canicula.com/wp/>
