Hmm, and I thought Norns were the evil elvish creatures from Tad Williams' "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn" trilogy...not to be confused with the Narns of Babylon 5, of course...

Sorry this is a trifle late, sleep deprivation is causing me to operate in a sort of jet lag but without going anywhere, if you see what I mean. Too many late nights, early mornings and week-end working is the cause, tied in with too many things to do at work with too few staff. BUT ..... never mind all that now, a very happy birthday to you both.
