I was once working in a closed environment - a cruise ship with 8 staff. "Tea for Two" was our accursed tormentor. As soon as you thought you had it beat, and had managed to go, say, 24 hours without being plagued, a less fortunate colleague would pass by inadvertently whistling the tune, and there you were stuck again.

And then as quickly as it came, it passed. - lonce --------------A55E7555B9A475F79FD24C78 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <br>Hi - <blockquote TYPE=CITE> <pre> I was sent the enclosed query by a local journalist.
