I know! I keep meaning to send the corrected version to Newcastle but
have not had time yet Sorry, I'll do it tommorrow!!

Well I like it at the bottom - so there!

ps. You missed the other bug! A bit after 12:30pm and just before 1:00pm it
crashes due to an array out of bounds. It just needs a MOD 12 thrown in
if you want to fix your version. I had not noticed that bug simply
because I had never used it at such ungodly hour in the morning.

I'll post an updated version soon, promise :-)
