      Mr MT (a.k.a. Mr Gander) is very well at the moment considering! Re- your quote, condensing (ha!) the aforementioned posts from Balders, I was privileged to assist certain people on another forum with their IT problems. I was deemed so valuable that someone made me a card (which I've hopefully attached). Initially my consulting firm was called T.I.T.S. (Thurnham I.T. Services.) but was later changed to T.A.R.T.S (Thurnham Area Reliable Technical Services) due to a wider audience response from the various publications advertised in the local rag. I hope this has addressed any worries you may have regarding Baldy's sanity.

        Don't worry, Miss MT, we know Baldy is mad - it was your sanity that concerned me.

          No need to worry. My sanity has been a lot better since I had a change of tablets!

                      Writers' and Artists' Yearbook, Jay22. Look for agents/publishers that deal with similar material and approach according to their guidelines (usually online these days.) Either that or competitions... lots of research and reading mags to find them. Good luck to him!

                          Not nearly as much fun as it sounds... it basically means swimming in the wild, rather than a swimming pool. Sea, river, lake... I used to do a lot, could leave work at 4pm, be in the river by 4.30. It's harder to achieve with littlies, although we do a lot of messing about in water.
