Well Mark, yes we do. FEEBLE only allows singlet numbers (a jersey is a jumper!) from 4 to 15 (inclusive).

Any other questions
Yeah Duane, what's a "gaol". You mentioned it in one of your other posts. BTW - don't you guys have a "Z" in your alphabet? I know some other former British colonies (other than us, that is) have "strange" alphabets (I consider anything that deviates from what we do here "strange" ).

For instance, the Canadian alphabet has 52, not 26 letters. A, A, B, A, C, A, D, A, etc.
Mark, I threw in "gaol" just to confuse you Yanks. It is the "proper" English spelling of jail - although the majority of Australians use jail these days. To be honest, words like jail, realize and color are often being spelt the American way as opposed to gaol, realise and colour. Even at university I was told either was fine, as long as we were consistent.

On a totally different subject - what is the atmosphere in America like regarding the recent military action in Afghanistan? Although we are somewhat removed from events here "Down Under" there has been quite a bit of debate recently as to what is being done, and whether it is the best way to handle things.

Anyway, time for bed for me - I've just worked a 12 hour grave-yard shift and I'm knackered.
