Had the option of reading up on web fetching or actually writing the
script using what I already know and opted to write it as the web fetch
wasnt important .

I've downloaded a few web fetch scripts from hotscripts and will have a
look to see how others have done it .

Either way its just a small script and almost finished and will post a
url later when some hosting dns changes I made catch up .
