Answering myself.

I did a 'sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic 
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-11-generic'

and it also removed linux-restricted-modules-generic

then did a 'uname -r' which gave 2.6.27-9-generic
I then did a 'sudo apt-get update' followed by 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and -- no mention of 
kernel 2.6.27-11 !!

I wonder what happened?

Anyway I rebooted just to make sure and it booted OK into 2.6.27-9-generic.

So alls well that ends well.

Blessings,
