The boys were the directors and producers and writers and so forth, and ordered me around a bit, including playing bass. I made many more mistakes than they did.

I've used Google Checkout for three years and hundreds of transactions. The service has been exemplary in every way. <br /><br />Dave's challenge was a lot of fun, but it has also been instructive for our boys. ie: the promoter never has the money when you go to get paid. <br /><br />Thanks to Leslie and Gareth and Lorraine and Philip and especially David for their support, and to Maggie's Farm and Tim Worstall for linking, and to everyone for reading and watching and commenting.
