can we all lay down crosses and axes and hatchets please.

"It is a curious fact that people are never so trivial as when they take themselves seriously" (Oscar Wilde)
^ I can be big enough to admit guilty as charged to that.


For future reference whenever I've used this > : it generally means the rest of the post is not meant to be taken too literally & indeed often not at all seriously.
