    You're all talk, if it came to the crunch you'd bottle it.

    Very likely.

    And lets face it aren't you grateful.

    I have been where you are now darling.

    You can latch onto someone, anyone who makes you feel better. Or you can decide to just to get on with just being you.

    I kind like who you are.

    But the choice is yours

    You are very wise. I'm relieved now. Gripping stuff. It's better than telly, actually, because you can go away (I went and read dopester's lengthy thread) and come back and you've not just missed it all.

    Phew.

    I'm the comic character, BTW, brought in to relieve the tension, in case you were wondering.

    This country leads the world in off topic arguments, that's certainly the truth :/

    Moaning about how crap we are, until someone from another country insults us.

    Healthcare debate in the US is an example.

    Most people are quick to de-ride the NHS, until the yanks start insulting it that is...

    He's ran. Just as it was getting good.

    He's all mouth and no trousers.

    Ooops, maybe that wasn't quite the image I wanted.

    He still believes he will be rescued.

    We have all been there, hoping for a white knight.
