Er, you didn't spot my deliberate mistake, then (or could it be that you're simply too polite to put me right - nah).
Mark was of course quite mad, as by my tortured logic, he was in fact giving you those odds.
Still reckon he only got the dates wrong though - Wall St is still in the world, whether it knows it or not - and it's treating it like my (recently turned-) four-year-old treats his birthday presents - and they're already broken beyond repair.
Anyway, yours glowing with embarrassment, Rob.
