Want to ask a question? Please fire away! Just try to keep it vaguely related to this site.

We’ll try to drag ourselves away from the camp fire and answer it. We’ll post your question (and our answer) so others can learn or add their 2 cents’ worth.

Sometimes we might take a little while to get back to you. We could well be in the middle of nowhere, away from internet reception. Or we could be busy trying to make up something that sounds plausible. Only kidding! Please be patient with us…
