Tomorrow I'll be in the depths of darkest Italy and miles from a web-cast or Sky News. But will be desperate to hear the result. Anyone kind enough to mail message my wife's mobile? Just the score will do; preferably 1-3 or summat.

00 39 0349 690 3049

Prayers will be said, candles lit and pints promised for the kind soul who obliges.

Ta, brothers.

Toon - that number doesn't work. Is it an italian number?

Nick (I assume that it was you), many thanks for the prompt service. Tha's a true gent.

Yes its an Italian number (Omnitel) and both text messages came through clearly. The HT result saw a bit of swearing (much to the amusement of the natives) but the eventual outcome was OK.

By the way, what was the role of www.excite and how did you pass this on to herself's phone? It may be a wop phone but it ain't a wap phone!

Thanks again.
