Hi Mrs Bertimus - would love to partner you, especially given that you address folks as "chucks". Have lived in parts of the UK where that is a normal greeting an would feel right at home! I'm not much better at computer stuff myself, so if you want to go with Gail that's fine by me.
I too understood that our poor Captain, or whomever she appoints to undertake the job, has to allocate partners, but it could be helpful to her/them if we give them some idea as to who is going with whom!!!
I've been working on my blog all day - having inadvertently wiped off the first version (see above!) - hence my being so late in the day here. Will try to be better in future.
