Hi Barry,
 
Why making Paul enthousiastic. Considering all the fame waiting for you
and the supposedly improved chances to get a girl to go for dinner with
you, why don't you do it yourself.
OK I gave you a chance for open goal (that's soccer). Now take it !
 
Cheers, Pieter.
 
BTW Chris how long can we discuss you succession or should somebody take
over your job any minute now ?
