 Hi Ian,
 I haven't been on Francomedia in months Ian!
 I guess we might be flying in to Paris, probably, from South-East Asia.
 I still have your address and I think your phone number.
 We surely would have a lot to talk about Ian :) I love medieval history,
     Knight Templars etc... L'Abbe Saunieres (Rennes-le-Chateau)
     A few weeks ago we just visited Angkor Vhat.
     Here is my email address        serge.cyr@sympatico.ca
     Why is it bizarre ? I've loved British football, for a long time. My
     in-laws are fans also :)
     Take care.
                Serge
