Loving these!
I just checked, and it seems that there's a vacancy: can someone set up a cafe, or an engineering workshop in Wales called "Taffy Turner", so I can post it here.

Struggling! I've got a feeling i'll kick myself. They're not made of tourmaline. Has Denis made a game called "Gravy Boats" that is missing from ZXDB?

Is it that US Gold one where you're in charge of a two gun tank? I've forgot the name, or I'm confusing it with another game/publisher. (I'm on fire tonight!)
