    Nothing rude about that, Mercs. Good to see you here. You are indeed correct. And what other family is associated with them?

    Just switched on too... yes, I think you are right in your thinking (and wasn't there a link with Darwin on the other side...?)

    I wouldn't be so sure...

    Is there a Darwin connection with Charles Mackerras? He could be the conductor, his Suite 'Pineapple Poll' etc etc... Pineapples are sour...

    I need a strong flat white (closest I could find to a coffee mug)

    Is Darwin just the name of a bloke? Oh I see, Mackerras was an Ozzy. No, not him. Try another (Welsh) antipodean

    No - my Mackerras question was an allusion to the place. I'm going to have to repair to google/wiki at this rate!
