I think it was before you raise me up so Ive put down 13. We'll have to wait and see. The only one I need now is the basketball one. What do the americans call the start of the game basketball? Any Americans around?

I think it's called tip-off.

That'll do me. Thanks ever so much for finding it. I tried searching but I dont think my search engines are that good!!

Google's great! ;) :D

LOL Jimmy Savile(only one L BTW)used to be a pro wrestler when I lived in Leeds I was only a couple of streets from he lived(in my far off student days :D)& we often met in the chippie near Headlingley Rugby/Cricket ground after rugby matches. I think he's 80 this year ! He was also a coal miner at one time as well & is a really interesting bloke to talk to
