If you could, that would be great.

Hmm, well, it happens quite a lot.  Not always so yonky, that it doesn't get 
delivered, but a lot of project submission mails are often hours late 
(sometimes a day or more).  I think Paul just fixed this - thanks Paul. :)

Cool.  I don't want to come across as bitching about this, I've got shed loads 
of stuff that's late, etc, etc.. it's just, right now's not a good time to be

updates &c.

Paul, Jim, thanks for all your help.
