G'day David,

Thanks for the offer, however, I think I'll write my own browse - it'll be faster than trying to learn someone else's.
It's funny, there's a Lonestar just down the street from us - and a bunch of them in the states, Clint Eastwood started the Hog's Breath in Monterey, California, and a friend of mine sued him for stealing the name. Apparently, he claimed that he had the "first" Hog's Breath in Seattle, Washington. I think they settled out of court.
You'd like the Outback Steakhouse. There's a lot of them in the states now.

Take care.

Barry
