Indeed :-)

Looks complicated, I am currently studying my python book and thought this 
could be a quick thing to impliment. Perhaps I should continue with my 
studying and not work on this until I get a better understanding of 
python?

Anyway how does this work? Does it just stop repeating the code once a 
timeout is reached?
Or does it stop when a certain event occurs?

Thanks for your reply!

Cheers,

Daniel.
