    Oh my! This is SO embarassing, but I have to confess that not only have I never seen "The Sopranos", but I have not seen "The Godfather" either - and I assume it is that to which you are alluding.

    I do remember seeing Brando in "On the Waterfront", probably back in the '60s, but that's as close as I can get!

    Anyway, thanks for the explanation. I have been assured, in a PM, that I might assume the Sporrano surname and so have made enquiries about ordering a T-shirt, if not for me to wear, to feature in the Hamish Kilts Kollection Museum once I slip off this mortal coil!

    I have to say that Don Hamish Sporrano has a certain ring about it. Do you see yourself as a mafia boss, Ham?

    I suspect I am much too much of a soft touch to hold such a position, Al.
