Congratulations Woko.
Same mate, all the best to you and the woman who did most of the hard work, and the new arrival.

Thanks for your note, WPT. (And thanks for the link, Stui.) I'll read and post again... (Actually, the police aspect was just one thing and perhaps not the main thing that caught my eye from WPT's initial comments. I have, though, seen those videos splashed on the news of police seemingly being very violent, the last a few days ago involving someone having an epileptic fit, with his friend and mother desperately trying to communicate that to the police who were holding him down and bashing his head on the pavement.)

Do you want the good news or the bad news?

The bad news is that I actually can't. This thread is so big that any attempt to switch it to the moderating interface just leads to a grey screen of death. I can edit or permanently delete posts, but splitting posts out of the damn thing has long since entered the realm of science-fiction. As with global warming in The Day After Tomorrow, we've hit a point of no return and just have to hope for the best now. Best to just start a new thread and carry on the conversation there.

The good news is that I had time for a bowl of Special K this morning, and it was delicious!

Hah, fair enough, thanks for the effort.

I don't like special K, I had 3 weetbix, no sugar, with some blueberries and raspberries on it and it was delicious.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
