Not Colin Bertz.

It is however Paul (four) Collingwood (calling bird).

Sorry if it was a bit corny but David I'll give you that as you mention him in your post.

Torture a moth between now and then

Ignazio

28-09-2010

On the assumption that torture is an anagram I thought perhaps the forename is Thomas and the surname another anagram of ometimes. i.e. sometimes without the s.

Terrence Chant

Hi Ig.....Thomas is correct, no anagram involved in the surname
