oh wow! I should never have got that one! I need such clues to stop me being conceited! Thank you so much. Now I must go to bed! Sweet dreams, as SWMBO says.

I didn't see the final answers until tonight (I had gone to bed as the Wrath of Swmbo was likely to fall on my head). But thanks again Mamyalynne and sandy Roe. I DID sleep well thanks to not having to wrestle with that "one last unsolved clue".
