Great name.... I patted the statue only a wee while back!
Thanks - had a varient (with a dash in the middle I think ) on the "old" board when it first started - but, lost the mail and password for it long ago.
Been lurking since the days of looking up Forteana and Ghost stories etc on newsgroups (remember those ?) while working night shifts doing intenet support (dial up) in a deserted building in Glasgow city centre - not good for the nerves

As it happens I also worked in the old Nautical college in Glasgow (now long merged into a new institution) and recall the fun and games when a student accidently triggered the emergency locator beacon on the roof of the building (it was there for training purposes) and briefly caused a potential air sea rescue effort to be launched looking for a college sinking in the middle of Glasgow.
All in all it's remarkably like the plot to the old Bond film "Tomorrow never dies"
