	Well I suppose that has always happened - good old Shakey (of play fame rather than behind green door) was very adept at using and twisting current language. That is why he was so popular with the masses and commoners.

"Prat" sounds good to me, especially with all I've read tonight, and that was really just one thread!! Good ol' Gr.... When you can't sleep (I prefer drinking chocolate to cocoa but it didn't work!) you can always guarantee to find a prat on here!
