Thanks Willem, I'll have to have a further play with classes/patterns
and look for more examples. The point is, I'm trying to justify using
them to myself over functional programming, at the moment I try building
class based projects and most of the time they just end up being more
confusing, taking longer and not really adding much benefit.

But obviously, I'm doing them wrong, but have no peer to show me what I
should be doing :-(

Cheers.
