Conrod, do you want to have lie down ??

See if this helps John. A bit of brute force and ignorance is always good though so have the angle grinder and a big wrecking bar handy as well.

ordered some Semtex from fleabay,take that you bas**rd

Aw you just posted 'Semtex' now the Homeland Security boys will be monitoring all your e-mails.
Bugger, now they will be watching me too.

Well I wonder if stating "I've got semtex and I'm going to blow up the houses of Parliment" will bring them round? I've always wanted to test out that theory.

Hope you get the catch off though
