Woah, learned something within the first 5 mts of previewing.
Oh, errr, doesn't matter answering that question, as the answer is obviously the Sun of course. Trick statement that one. Crikey, how embarrassing, oh well, that was my "doh" moment. Anyway, I shall go hide back in my hole now. Think I deserve a bit of a poke for that one
Of course then again I could have just gone ahead and sneakily deleted that bit off my thread and not publicly humiliate myself... but what would the fun be in that
