Great advice, that's the easiest way to learn it, from a guy who knows! Cheers!

Thanks for all the advice 'Gas' but this bit made me laugh especially because I just saw a German dude do just that on the Tube of You.

To everyone else as well, thank you so much for making me so welcome. Brilliant forum, and here's to me gettin' a Tenere eh!
