Heh heh... I take all your points on board Irene. I would of course agree with you if they applied to the Velvet chap, but... well, his stuff isn't like that at all. In my opinion, it makes the kids look foolish, not the parents. I can't explain it any more than that - all I can say is, try and track down the tracks and see what I mean. Of course, I'm not trying to make you LIKE the stuff, I just think the 'message' is the reverse of that which you're suggesting. Besides, I'm going to be a moronic parent really rather soon, so I think we're probably sharing a similar outlook really ;-) Damon. np: Basement Jaxx - Remedy ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
