Wolf graemlins/clap2.gif this is absolutely fantastic, thanks so much for taking time to do this.

I already had it all on PC, just had to update some bits here and there.

I`ve got another chart info thread coming, btw, watch out!

[FPSHOT]

Let me guess, Traveling Wilburys graemlins/wink1.gif

Thanks again.

[Wolf]

Correct!

[sourmilkpinky]

Now I know why FPSHOT referred to you as 'the expert'!
thank you Wolf for the information. I find it rather interesting. It also helped me realize how the phrase 'curiosity killed the cat' may have come from .

[taxman]

Where is Brainwashed in the UK?

[bearkat77]

Great list, Wolf. You have done a superb job again.

[old_moon_shining]

Thanks a bundle Wolf. Very interesting and a little surprising in a couple of areas. However, where is Australia?? images/icons/smile.gif

[Wolf]

Unfortunately, the is no chart book on Australia.

[old_moon_shining]

There would be records somewhere. I often hear them refered to. We can read and write down here. Well most of us anyway. images/icons/wink.gif *Thanks for answering.
