Just an FYI for the Blue Team - I am going out of town tomorrow at 1:00 PM and won’t be back until Saturday night. So if we get to a second round of guessing, don’t wait for me! ---

[QUOTE=twickster] So noted, and so noted. Going on vacation, **Struan**? [/QUOTE] I’m off to the but’n’ben\* in Perthshire for a week of tramping around the hills and general avoidance of the trappings of modern life. That said, I’ll be taking my laptop (I’m in the middle of a particularly tense game of Europa Universalis), and will try and get on-line via my mobile phone, but past experience suggests that this will be a slow and frustrating experience. - the but’n’ben is a glorified shack but it is in one of the beautiful places on the planet and I love it to bits. ---

That sounds nice, **Struan** – I personally like being totally offline for a week when I’m on vacation – but I’ve never gone on vacation in the middle of a hot game of Family Feud. Does someone from Blue want to PM or email **Sternvogel** and/or **Pygmy Rugger** before we head into the weekend? ---
