Welcome to the forum Anthony.

Look forward to your posts.

My birthday is also on Monday so we both have a good or bad start to the week.

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

I was supposed to be going out with the family tomorrow night however three of them are sick so I might have to celebrate/commiserate on my own.
