Geoff:
There was an occasion in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" when Miles 
O'Brien was talking to the Miles O'Brien from five hours in the 
future and, when things got very convoluted, he said "I hate Temporal 
Mechanics".

Trying to get my head round this is giving me the same feeling. DD, 
who has gone back into the past as Ron, is coaching the present day 
Ron so that he can do his NEWTs so that he can go back into the past 
as DD.

Hm. I think I will go and lie down in a quiet room for a while..... 
my head is hurting!
