OTHER NOTES:

In relation to 'two snakes up a pole' notes of yesterday:

MARK R was supposed to be the symbolic Pole.

In order to remind me of this ill cult game stage, RIMINGTON was going to put a real, live snake through my letterbox...luckily this hasn't materialised...I was supposed to have to call the RSPCA who would have nothing to do with it etc etc...and so I would have to move out until I could get somebody to identify it and take it away...anyway, I hope that I have now outed and circumvented that one.
