HIS HONOUR:

1. I consider that is admissible on the basis if you want to take that issue, so I admit that.  The other one I consider is purely an appeal to a motion of no probative value and I will not exclude it.  If in fact for some reason later in the trial it becomes relevant, that is a different matter.
