After a process that resembled nothing so much as breaking into Fort Knox with a teaspoon, I have finally managed to straighten out my PayPal account. For those of you who wish to donate to help me get back on line, the new email address is mick.arran@gmail.com. You can, so I'm told, send money through that account by giving that address.

I'm running out of time, so a plea will have to wait.

Thanks in advance.
