hehe.. hi graham.. it was honest mistake really, and believe me the tutor

apart from the fact that amanda sharkey sucks as a tutor (dont quote me on

thanks for your help... might see you in lectures next year, though i wasnt 
actually at many this year ;) (hey in my defence i still passed everything 
but one! maths...)
