Thanjk you.

Luis Suarez was "an accident waiting to happen" and the "time had come" for him to leave Liverpool this summer, according to Richard Scudamore.
Barclays Premier League boss Scudamore admitted he was not sorry to see Suarez join Barcelona, praising shrewd business from Liverpool in offloading the controversial Uruguay striker.
Catalan giants Barcelona prised Suarez away from Liverpool in a £75million transfer.
The 27-year-old was hit with a four-month ban from all football-related activity after biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup in Brazil.
Chief executive Scudamore conceded the Premier League will be a calmer place this season without Suarez, whose latest ban is his third for biting.
"I think probably the time had come," said Scudamore.
"He's a great player and I'm not taking anything away from his talents: he was voted by both his own players and the media last year the player of the year and deservedly so.
"He's great to have but an accident waiting to happen, and if you spend your time trying to promote what's good about the Premier League, you're always waiting for the next thing to come along.
"And this one in the summer, although it was with Uruguay, although it didn't directly involve the Premier League, clearly it reflected on Liverpool as one of our great clubs.
"And it reflected on us.
"He's done his time here, but I can't say I'm sorry to see him go.
"I think it was good business on a number of levels from Liverpool to move Suarez on."
He's entitled to an opinion. As usual, it happens to be wrong.
Anyone arsed how the appeal goes tomorrow?
I am, I hope it's overturned, the club part at least as a big **** you to FIFA and so that he can start ripping teams in La liga a new arsehole asap. Would love to draw them in the Champions league too.
