Thanks for that. I'm not sure what to make of it. Either you're incredibly lucky (6 good reeds out
of 6? unheard of!) or you know the guy who puts the one good reed.....

Last Hogmanay, my wife was working until 10pm and then again at 9am on ne'erday (before you ask,
lots and lots of money). Add to that the fact that my (then) one year old son was suffering from a
tummy bug which had him up almost the whole night, and you'll be able to imagine the night I had.
The wee man is now 2. My wife is not going to be working, so I think that we'll have a quiet night
in and celebrate the new millennium with just the family.

Cheers

Ian
