You may regret this - a white christmas is just around the corner.

Excellent stuff.  Where do I get tag strip, I wasn't able to find it as easy as I thought it would be?

Shiny grey suite, womens fashion designed by the same guy who invented robots, the cheesiest cover - you gotta love vinyl.

Just what I was looking for.  Many thanks for taking the time to respond.
