    We've a reasonable chance of winning, despite The Gloomsters' protests to the contrary. Nobody knows the result yet, optimist or pessimist, and it's much more fun being an optimist than spending life constantly expecting, if not secretly hoping for, the worst, simply in order to feel they were 'right'.

    Having said that, I'll still defend to the end The Gloomsters' right to be negative, miserable b*stards - on their many other threads.


    COYP!

    Probably you ought to be defending that right on this one too. Calling someone moron is out of order. Leave that to the likes of Ray Trew.

    I think the Wheelbarrow song needs re-writing.

    I had a wheel barrow, the wheel stayed on.
