When drunk, I type at about 100wpm, 0% accuracy though, I just aim for the red squiggles smile

When sober, 80ish with about 80% accuracy, again worked in IT and used to program; so I'm really good typing in oddbod stuff... now ask me to spull something biggrin

Thats impressive - especially as you have managed to reply to a post started today, you must have started your reply a good couple of weeks ago.
