Thanks, that ran in 820ms. (Same query with subselects but without the
OFFSET 0 ran in 28370ms)

David's method is also running in 820ms. I erroneously stated it was
349ms before, but that was actually how long it took to display the
results of EXPLAIN.

I wish I could work out what's wrong with the statistics that cause the
query plan to go awry.. the tables aren't actually very large and I've
played with the statistics setup previously and it seemed right..

many thanks,
Toby
