    Ok here's a joke to cheer people up!

    Three men wanted to cross a river. They had no idea how to cross it, so one man knelt down on his knees and prayed "Lord give me the power and strength the cross the river." suddenly the man became very strong and swam across the river. The next man thought: if it worked for him, it'll work for me. So he knelt down and prayed "Lord give the skills and the strength to cross the river." the man built a canoe and rowed himself across the river. The last man thought: if it worked for both of them, I know it'll work for me. So he also knelt down and prayed "Lord give me the wisdom and knowledge to cross the river." He turned into a woman and walked across the bridge.

    And for the OT bit I've lost a badge! Sewn two on but lost the third which I put somewhere safe!

    I won't join you but I'll encourage you! Doesn't say anything about not encouraging. Just less general chit chat, although I suppose if you post about all the cleaning you're doing and then have a natter that's alright?
