Sweet I can't wait to see what you've come up with. I've been concentrating 
on the main menu but I was sure that our attention would go back to those 
things at one point or another.

This is where I'm going to have to be convinced to be honest. I've actually

that make it more I think. I'll hopefully send that out later on today.
