looks like we posted same time!

As expected your solution is nicer :)

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^&]+&)*_fb_q=
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ http://www.example.com/? [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /index\.(php|html?)\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.(php|html?)$ http://www.example.com/ [R=301,L]

Works a charm. Your a star!

thanks Jim
