@northy@vera365 its half the challenge to come up with a good challenge!, hope i can do it justice, its something i have had a mind to do for a while, so a good spur... just wish i didnt have to use myself as a model... someone might turn up.

Or you can take it into any other creative direction you wish!
Let me know if this would work. If not, I can come up with something else.
