 * Hi,
 * say I have a post permalink that looks like /sue-hayday-and-ben-johnson/, or 
   even /susan-ann-henderson-and-bob-carr/.
 * Now, let’s say I want to get the names from the permalink that are to the left
   and right of -and-.
 * How can I do this? I know there should be a way of using php to filter out the
   characters and ‘and’ within the permalink, but I have yet to find the answer.
 * Hope someone can help!
