Cheers everyone.

It's actually quite difficult to write your ideas in the naive style, because you have to swallow your dignity so much.

In this case, I wrote the whole thing in the nude. Since I am approaching 60, I am no longer a danger to shipping. My family bore up like the troopers they are.

- but it's a case of "needs must" I'm afraid.

Hey, not only was the article good stuff - but wasn't it refreshing that for once there was no-one telling the rest of us that it was all stuff and nonsense?

Yep - I like Chris' stuff on STUFF.

But aren't mining metallurgists collusive in depleting and destroying our natural abundance of stuff just to give us more stuff-ups?

Quite so dickie, the last laugh is on me.

Imagine sitting your grandkids on your knee and trying to explain to them that you are the state executioner. There's no easy way to let 'em down.

Chris - I think you're an enlightened, 21st century man and I've decided you're made of good stuff.

Keep sharing it my friend.
