I was going to mention that - but I forgot how to spell it!  :-)

You're right!  But as you weren't about to touch it and I certainly wouldn't
want to, that only left Meg and Pete.  Now Pete looked big enough to
administer a worse beating than the numbray - had we managed to convince him
to give it a tickle - and Meg would never have talked to us again.  (Plus,
of course, the fact that her partner, Tim, is bigger than you and me
combined and might live up to his job description of, "Liquidator"!)  :-))

BTW!  Adrian's put up some images on the Nekton Photo Gallery.
(www.e-nekton.com )  I persuaded him to include one of mine of the friendly
blue Grouper, but take a look at Poe's images.  There are some nice ones
there.  :-)
